The return of the Design Contest for 2025
What is the Miralis Design Contest?
The Miralis Design Contest aims to showcase the expertise of our 120 partners across Quebec, Ontario, and the United States. This event celebrates interior design talent by offering an exceptional platform to highlight the most beautiful projects from our network. Over 600 partner designers are invited to submit their most inspiring projects from the past year, to shine a spotlight on their know-how throughout the Miralis community.
New Award Categories for the 2025 Edition
This year, we are reinventing the categories to better reflect the Miralis philosophy: “The most sustainable kitchen is the one you’ll never want to change.”
And where there’s sustainability, there’s also timelessness.
We want to emphasize contemporary style, a style that, in our view, transcends trends and years.
