Announcing the Finalists for the 2025 Western Living Design 25 Awards
A peek into Studio Roslyn's It's Okay bar, one of the winners of our first annual WL Design 25 awards.
How do you embrace all the friendly, laid-back charm of a neighbourhood sports bar while also incorporating modern, elevated design elements? Studio Roslyn principals Kate Snyder and Jessica MacDonald (along with senior designer Courtney Hundseth) can get your head in the game.
East Vancouver’s It’s Okay bar embraces a bygone era with retro checkered carpet, a curtained bar canopy and disco ball decor. Those bold details (and the giant collage of Magic Johnson) are balanced by a muted palette of reds, purples and dark wood. It’s cozy but not cramped; eclectic but not messy; nostalgic but not dated—a slam dunk.
