MANILA, Philippines - When it comes to decorating your home, every homeowner is presented with two options: hire an interior designer or do it yourself. Real Living helps you work your way through both options by giving you a Designer Special this August.
Intimidated by the thought of hiring a designer? Editor-in-chief Rachelle Medina says, “The only thing that may be hampering you is fear of the unknown … if you think your home really needs an interior designer, all you have to do is ask.” Medina devotes her editor’s note this month to the things every homeowner should consider when meeting with an interior designer.
The August issue also gives you Real Living’s first-ever Designer 50 List featuring their pick of designers, products, and interiors — and 47 budget designer finds for every homeowner on a budget.
Small homes can still be stylish, as Real Living gives you eight designer solutions for small homes. Get more style inspiration from 30 pages of gorgeous homes and a new section called “Tablescapes” featuring easy-to-do, elegant table settings.
However, homes can also suffer from too much clutter, furniture, and over-decoration. Real Living comes to the rescue with their first “makeunder,” proving that even in design, sometimes less is more.
Every issue of Real Living comes with a free RL notebook that features practical and affordable home pieces that will help you get that designer look. Find out also what you should keep in mind when shopping for authentic designer pieces.
The August issue of Real Living is available in newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide. For more of Real Living online, visit www.realliving.com.ph, become a fan on Facebook via Facebook.com/realliving.ph, and follow them on Twitter via Twitter.com/reallivingph.
