Announcing the Finalists for the 2027 WL Design 25
Plus, tickets for our 2026 WL Design 25 Awards Party on February 25, 2026 are now available!
On a clear fall night, we hosted one to remember: for the first time, Varsa Windows & Doors hosted a live reveal of the finalists who are in the running to take home a Western Living Design 25 honour this year.
And what a blast it was! We mixed it up with the western Canadian design community over cocktails (and mocktails), wine and beer, as well as tapas-style appetizers from Nammos and a live DJ. Plus, Livingspace had an excellent pizza bar rolling all night. (And of course, many guests headed into the photo booth and cigar lounge, and took home a custom painted candle at the end of the evening.) There were dancers, there were celebrations—and a great time was had by all.
We’ve got a little sneak peek at some of the night’s party shots below, but if you want to relive the magic in more depth, just head to the full WL Design 25 Finalists Party Album.
It’s a great lead up to our Western Living Design 25 Awards! We’ve just released tickets for our 3rd annual WL Design 25 awards party: on February 25, 2026, head over to Livingspace to hear who’s taken home one of these coveted awards, along with our People’s Choice for Best Room and Best Product.
