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.    

SM Home’s Essentials of Condo Living: any condo can be beautiful

In a ridiculously overcrowded city with soaring property values, and epic traffic jams, the condo has become the logical dwelling of choice for the urban Filipino. Because of the realities of urban living, and in particular, life in Metro Manila, people have been looking at condo living as a more permanent situation. 

Recognizing this fact, ”Essentials of Condo Living”  the first edition of SM Home’s new design series will feature very small living spaces optimized and styled by up and coming professional designers, to demonstrate just how possible it is to turn even a small living space into a perfect home.

Living in the city can sometimes be boring with the routines and urban woes which we have been living and made it stressful as well. But it should not be always like that, I believe that it can be fun and one can find his or herself a sanctuary by adding a new flare to our homes.
