At SM Home in SM Makati, there is one thing customers can always count on: to find accessories and furniture that will fit any space they are decorating, be it their home, workplace, or even a short-term rental unit.
Flexibility and functionality are priorities for SM Home at SM Makati. That’s why shoppers consistently get it at SM. After all, this is one of the largest branches of SM Home, as well as the branch with the best assortment of items.
“SM Home has a lot of items that are perfect for those with a rental setup,” says Arch. Cathay Saldaña, president of award-winning firm PDP + Architecture, and a consulting stylist for SM Home at SM Makati. “You just need to find the basic pieces in neutral colors and tones and have accents in prints, stripes or bold colors. What’s important is that your furniture, furnishings, and accessories allow everything to fold in well together.”
Achieving a cohesive look is simple when the store you are shopping in is fully equipped for all the needs of someone looking to fill up their space. SM Home at SM Makati is exactly this. It has an inventory full of adaptable and flexible pieces that are easy to clean and blend smoothly with other accessories and furnishings.
Go for hardworking furnishings
To further maximize your space, Saldaña suggests choosing multiple-purpose pieces that can expand.
Got a studio apartment that can’t fit much? The answer is sofa beds, of which SM Home at SM Makati has plenty. They even come in various colors and textures, making it effortless for you to create a cohesive look.
“For small spaces, get compact beds, chairs, and tables. Some of these can even fold into each other, like nesting tables,” she says. “Also, there are flexible table and counter set-ups where one side can be used for dining and the other side can be used for work or school.”
Spaces that breathe
Saldaña’s benchmark for well-decorated spaces is their capacity to promote wellness. Any home or workplace, especially in tropical Philippines, has to be sustainable. Otherwise, it may end up becoming suffocating and uninspiring.
“Having nature indoors is one of the important elements [of design],” says Saldaña. “It’s vital that we bring in plants and allow for thermal comfort. We need to design for people and wellness.”
Even healthcare experts recommend having greens in the spaces you move in, as these are good for mental and physical health.
SM Home at SM Makati has a plethora of choices when it comes to artificial greens to decorate your home with. Whether you prefer colorful flowers in vases for your coffee table or large-leaf philodendrons for your foyer, this store has them. They’re all so realistic, you won’t be able to tell that they are artificial.
But it isn’t just plants that create relaxing spaces. The right materials do, too.
“Get furniture and accessories manufactured without toxic emissions, and that you know are made of good quality,” says Saldaña. “This is important because you will live and work with these items.”
SM Home at SM Makati has an inventory of accessories and furniture with the proper materials, colors that reflect light, and textures that energize any space.
As Saldaña says, design doesn’t have to be complicated. All you need to remember is to pick pieces that make you feel good and healthy. That’s how you elevate your space with SM Home at SM Makati.
