Introducing the 2026 WL Designers of the Year
Best room and best product, chosen by you and revealed Feb. 25 at Livingspace.
When we announced our finalists for this year’s Western Living Design 25, we opened voting for the top “product” and top “room” to you. (If you love a good ballot box moment, here’s the full People’s Choice voting story.) Revealed live at our WL Design 25 celebration on February 25 at Livingspace in Vancouver, these two projects swept the ballot.
Meg Hübert Ceramics: Eclipse Sconce
Set over a hardwired flush-mount light, this 10-inch four-panelled sconce boasts muted tones and a textured glaze, and appears to hover slightly away from the wall, allowing light to glow in a diffused halo.

HB Design: Brick House Great Room
Designed for a young urban family, this space balances sophistication with everyday comfort, drawing on clean architectural lines, abundant natural light and a refined palette that highlights texture and warmth. It’s also built for real-life hosting, with the kind of flow that makes entertaining feel less like a performance and more like a pleasure and the indoor-outdoor ease we love to obsess over (see these indoor-outdoor stunners).
