Celebrating Canada's Premier Interior Designers: The H&H 100 for 2024
Each year, the H&H 100 list celebrates Canada's most inspiring interior designers, showcasing their innovative approaches and significant contributions to the field. The 2024 edition not only welcomes nine fresh faces whose work has captured attention with its originality and flair, but also reaffirms the status of established luminaries who continue to shape the industry. This diverse collection of talents from across the country—from Toronto's chic urban lofts to Vancouver's serene coastal retreats—underscores a vibrant landscape of creativity.
Among the newly recognized designers, Farah Altoumah impresses with a high-fashion, yet functional aesthetic, while Jessica McGouran brings an eclectic and intriguing style to her projects.

In addition to these rising stars, the list pays homage to celebrated designers like Ali Budd, named Designer of the Year for her bold and dramatic rooms, and Colette van den Thillart, known for her exuberant and sophisticated interiors. Brian Gluckstein, a veteran with over three decades of influence, is also honored for his timeless style. These designers collectively demonstrate a broad spectrum of artistic vision, from traditional elegance to modern minimalism, all infused with a distinctly Canadian sensibility.
The compilation further highlights designers like Sophie Burke, whose work is inspired by the Pacific Northwest, and Nam Dang-Mitchell, celebrated for her classic yet edgy Hawaiian escapes. Katherine Newman's high-fashion design approach consistently results in unforgettable spaces. The array of featured studios and individuals, including 31 Westgate from Halifax with its eclectic take on classic style, and Vancouver's Alda Pereira Design known for contemporary minimalism, reinforces the depth and breadth of design excellence.
