Get the recognition you deserve! Enter the 28th annual Best of Canada!

You do great work, and your peers in the Canadian interior design industry want to see it! Canadian Interiors is proud to officially open the doors to the annual Best of Canada Awards, this country’s only design competition focusing on interior design projects and products without regard to size, budget or location. Submissions are welcome from interior designers, architects, landscape architects, decorators, crafts persons and design students.

The deadline to submit your Project and Product to the Best of Canada Awards competition will be here before you know it: submissions are due on Monday, April 28, 2025 @ 11:59 pm PST.

Every year Canadian interior design seems to be upping the ante of what is expected and what is delivered. Need proof? Take a look at some of the winners from 2024’s Best of Canada.

For example, the judges debated vigorously and at length until finally nominating the House on the Park in Toronto for Project of The Year designation and gracing the cover of the September-October 2024 issue. Jurors were impressed by how the project addresses the inherent challenges of a heritage-listed property, transforming dark, congested spaces into a coherent, light-filled environment. The original structure, marked by narrow stairwells, disjointed levels, and decayed cornices, has been meticulously restored while embracing a renewed architectural vitality.

In the Products category, the honour of Judges’ Pick went to the Aarea seating collection by Teknion. Comprising just five parts, the collection “inspires a vision of what a chair succeeding at using minimal components, recycled material, and considering circularity would look like,” mused judge Kate Tessier.
