Announcing the Finalists for the 2025 Western Living Designers of the Year Awards

This is the big day: when we announce the finalists for our 2025 Western Living Designers of the Year awards!

Western Living‘s Designers of the Year competition is, of course, our annual celebration of the best designers in Western Canada, and 2025 marks our 18th anniversary. Winners are featured in the September issue of the magazine and online at westernliving.ca, as well on our Instagram and Facebook.

Winners will also be celebrated at (in our humble opinion) the design party of the year: the Western Living Designers of the Year awards party, taking place at Cantu Bathrooms and Hardware on September 11, 2025.

Plus Coming Soon: People’s Choice Awards Voting!

Our Western Living People’s Choice awards, presented by Thermador, will be returning for our 2025 awards season, and we’ll be announcing the finalists on Monday, June 9—which will be your chance to vote for those projects that take home our 2025 Western Living People’s Choice Awards.

The winners for this reader-selected honour will be announced live on stage at our annual Designers of the Year Awards event on September 11 in Vancouver at Cantu Bathrooms and Hardware, too. Tickets are now on sale for this party of the year!

PLUS:

The Icons Award! We’ll be celebrating leaders in our design community for their mentorship and influence over the Western Canadian design scene. Stay tuned for this announcement.

And now, drumroll please…. here are this year’s finalists.
