Photos: The Western Living Design 25 Finalists Party
Kick off 2025 with our first Western Living Design 25 Awards Party - the best designer networking event of the season.
We kicked of 2024 with our first-ever Western Living Design 25 Awards, and now we’re thrilled to kick off 2025 with our first-ever Western Living Design 25 Awards Party!
The WL Design 25 awards celebrate projects: from an inviting bedroom to a perfect chair, an elegant office space to a sustainably crafted coffee table. You might also spot your favourite restaurant among the winners.
Each of the 25 winners in the WL Design 25 represent the best of Western Canadian design for 2025.
And a Western Living Design 25 party is the perfect opportunity to connect with the Western Canadian design community—finalists and their supporters, and the best designers in the industry (who know we know how to throw a great design party).
We’ll be announcing all of our winners live on stage—both the 25 champions of the judged category, and those taking home the coveted People’s Choice prizes—best product and best room.
Grab your tickets now for the February 20 event, and join us in raising a glass to all of the WL Design 25 finalists and winners in the spacious King Living showroom in Vancouver. We’ll be mixing and mingling with the best of the west (including excellent wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks from Duchess and canapés aplenty, of course) before revealing this year’s deserving WL Design 25 winners.
The editorial team at Western Living loves nothing more than a perfectly designed space, place or thing: and we’re here to tell you about it. Email us your pitches at [email protected].
