Terracotta tones and mixed pile heights bring warmth and texture to rugs

“There is a huge emphasis on the tactile factor,” says Richard Sakic of Calligaris Toronto, which favours silky, smooth-to-the-touch textures achieved with natural and recycled materials. If you’re a colour enthusiast and subtle isn’t your thing, “I am seeing a strong desire for high saturated hues, especially in North America,” says Ana Cunningham, managing partner at Creative Matters Inc. Industry experts also agree that the rug trends of irregular shapes and fine lines will reign in 2024, adding versatility and more visual interest in a space than the predictable and boxy rectangle.

The heritage brand’s latest model reimagines the hearth for contemporary living

For many Canadian homeowners, the fireplace remains the symbolic heart of the home—a place to gather, unwind and anchor family rituals. But in 2025, that doesn’t mean settling for a drafty wood-burning unit or a showpiece that barely produces heat. The best fireplaces today need to combine efficiency with atmosphere, design flexibility with reliability. Few companies balance all of these demands as seamlessly as Valor Fireplaces, a Canadian heritage brand that has been setting the standard since 1977.
