Yuletide is celebrated in most parts of the world, but there’s nothing quite like a Pinoy Christmas. We celebrate it longer than most countries—for over a hundred days, in fact.

What makes a Pinoy Christmas so special? For Filipinos, it’s the sumptuous holiday spread, twinkling lights and decor, meaningful gifts, and Christmas carols, all made even more special with precious memories of enjoying them with our loved ones. 

SM Home: Complete your Home in Living Color

It is only fitting that SM Home, a retailer that provides not just great home items, but also the inspiration you need to complete your home, tackles color for the second edition of its SM Home Design Series “In Living Color”.  SM Home’s partner for the two-week program is none other than Boysen Paints Philippines, the nation’s leading manufacturer and supplier of paint products. 

Arguably the most universally relatable element of design is color. Everyone has a favorite color, or at the very least a color preference.  There is also no denying the power of color.  It both conveys and elicits emotion, it sets the mood and the tone, it creates ambiance and evokes nostalgia.  Speaking purely visually, it can be used to create the illusion of space, separate areas, and create focal points.  The fastest, most affordable and easiest way to makeover a room and to change how people perceive it is to slap on a fresh coat of paint, more so if it is in a new color.
