The interior design community of Ontario gathered on Sept. 17, 2025, to celebrate the most-awaited interior design awards night. With the theme “A Night Born from Stardust”, the gala reflected on the evolution of interior design and honoured the outstanding projects of registered interior designers who continue to elevate and inspire the profession.
Under the sparkling night sky at the Grand Bizarre in Toronto, ARIDO President, Jeremy Cheff, welcomed guests and set the tone for an evening that beautifully captured the essence of community and creativity. The gala brought together designers, industry partners, and supporters to recognize the shared purpose that binds the profession.
