Our trend forecast calls for heavy doses of black, saturated and sumptuous furnishings€”and texture, texture, texture.

Predicting the future may be impossible, but that doesn’t stop us from trying. We polled in-the-know design lovers, scoured the hottest shops and pored over gorgeous spaces from forward-thinking designers all across Western Canada to lock in our favourite looks for 2016.
