Be an Interior Designer of your own place/house!!!

Always end up thinking where to start?

Well, a friend of mine is currently building her house and she gave me some ideas where I can find a good place that I can start designing and makes it a so called "HOME".

In the Philippines, I didn't know that we have a Wilcon Builder's Depot same as IKEA concept. Nowadays, because of technology/ internet, when you intend to buy furniture you don’t (necessarily) have to go furniture stores. Instead, you can just go online and browse through tons of options in the internet. Because of several selections you can find there, you might get confuse of what to choose. Instead of coming up with lists of options, it’s better and important to know how you want your place to look and what specific pieces you need to achieve the “home” that you want to build.

Check this IKEA concept of home designs and prices

With the help of their websites you can see and browse the listed prices of the furnitures. It will help you choose what items to buy base on your needs and budget.

To make it easier, always remember your assignment in buying stuff, list down all you need so you are prepared.

If you are budget conscious and the furniture you need/want doesn’t fit your budget, try to find or search for replicas which are cheaper than the original ones but of course do not compromise the quality. If the price seems so high try to haggle for a lower price if possible.

Enjoy your home designing with minimalist style. Keeping it simple, clean and well organized are the secrets of a simple yet elegant home.
