Crystals, gems & linens at Our Home

MANILA, Philippines –  Crystals, gems, and stones are known for their healing properties in practically every culture and religion. In today’s world, many have tapped into the healing power of crystals to make their mind brighter, their body healthier, and their outlook happier.

Boutique Bed Linens, one of the most recognized brands in our country, recently merged crystal sensibilities with modern design with the launching of its Crystal collection with Our Home at SM Megamall Atrium.

Featuring geometric patterns and designs inspired by the crystal stones, the collection is crafted with 200-thread count in 100 percent combed cotton, making it soothing to the touch and relaxing to the eyes.

The launch event, appropriately called Romancing the Stone, brought together four style experts who each designed a bedroom setup using bed linen designs from the Crystal Collection  Quartz, Amber, Garnet, and Angelite. Feng shui master Aldric Dalumpines in turn interpreted each of the bedding designs and shared his knowledge on how to create a healing, relaxing, and rejuvenating bedroom.

Design columnist Anton Barretto’s bedroom setup using the Garnet line was inspired by the success and luck that Garnet gives. The line features accents of black and silver used in the white bedding.

Tessa Prieto-Valdes, a celebrity interior designer who creates beautiful homes and stylish establishments, chose Quartz, the stone of love as the inspiration for her bedroom setup. The pristine color of quartz is channeled in this white bedding set with embellished taupe designs. In feng shui, Quartz beddings will help promote love in your bedroom, as white is the color of purity and goodness.

Jie Pambid, editor in chief of My Home magazine and creative director of JPlake and Associates, selected Amber, the uplifting crystal for his dream room. It features dark caramel bed linens with elliptical patterns in earth tones. Amber’s healing colors will uplift your body and spirit, by making you sleep and rest serenely.

Anton Barretto, editor of Entertaining magazine and design columnist, was in his element with Garnet, the stone of luck and success. Elegance and style are expressed in pure white linens with square embroidery and black and silver accents. Garnet’s square eight-shaped design brings luck.

My Home editor in chief Jie Pambid uses the Amber line. Inspired by the uplifting healing power of the stone, it features dark caramel beddings with elliptical patterns that help revitalize and uplift one’s mood when used in his bedroom.

Dustin Reyes, a talented decorator and professional stager who was trained in New York City and is co-founder of TRAE/Build, Inc., found inspiration in Angelite, the healing crystal. Calm blue shades with white and grey accents bring about a serene mood, good enough to rejuvenate, and relieve your mind from stress and a hard day’s work. Angelite’s round patterns have the elements of yin and yang that will create balance and a serene and peaceful mood in your bedroom.

The Crystal Collection of Boutique Bed Linens, the exclusive brand of Canadian Manufacturing, is available at Our Home, the lifestyle store where you can get great designs at great prices. Log on to www.ourhome.ph for a list of Our Home’s 20 stores nationwide.
