WL Design 25 Winners 2025: The Cat’s Meow
A peek into PlaidFox's Oceanview primary bedroom, one of the winners of our first annual WL Design 25 awards.
There’s a reason white and neutral bedrooms are ubiquitous: soothing and serene, it’s a palette that inspires a sense of calm at the end of a long day. But on the other end of the (colour) spectrum, there’s this joyful, jewel-toned space from Vancouver’s PlaidFox. Drenched in emerald and sapphire hues, it’s just as serene and infinitely cozier.
Here, a dark, smoky blue wall is paired with brushed velvet drapery and an oversized pulled-wool rug, creating a sumptuous backdrop for a collection of playful pieces: a cartoon-like plaster pedestal, a velvet cut-out headboard, hot-pink artwork from artist Gabriel Cabrera. The perfect treasures for a jewel-box of a room.
