Play with form and creativity in the new world with our country's top design experts

Spring Awakening

Over the pandemic, we all tried a few home trends that may not look quite as fresh now as they once did, or perhaps we've accumulated unnecessary interior décor items that are now cluttering up our space.

First, it was organizing the kitchen cupboards, then it was the bookshelves. Before we knew it, everything slowly turned into an obsession: decking out the home office with LED lights, several screens, and tech accessories, or filling the balcony with several overgrown plants and big pots.

As we go through life, our home essentials are constantly changing. If you're looking around your space and start feeling like you are no longer satisfied or inspired by it, it's a sign to streamline your home.

With the warm weather inviting us to tie back the drapes and open the windows, it's time to alter the complexion of your space until it hums with vitality.

We asked the country's top design experts, Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez, managing director of Philux, and PJ Almera, interdisciplinary architect and designer, to lend us some of their trade secrets on how we can fall in love with our personal space all over again.

Bonus! They even recommended their home must-haves that are beautiful and practical no matter what stage we are in our life.

ROOM TO GROW

There's no denying that we have all recognized a new. affinity with nature. Although it might have been there all along, the years of isolation deepened our gratitude for its grounding and calming allure. Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez believes that incorporating this kind of conscious luxury into our homes doesn't have to mean stressful and expensive upgrades.
