FIND YOUR FURNITURE FIX
Time for a new ‘view’ after 100 days at home
For those who might have tired of being home over the past three months, it may be time to do a mini-home makeover. You love your house and all its corners, but it would not hurt to change a chair, add a new decor, or even replace a cabinet stand. A little tweak here and there could dramatically change your “view” and bring some spice to a space you had been staring at for the past hundred days.
Staying at home also made you realize which spaces were useful or not. That living room has probably become a makeshift gym as you try to squeeze in workouts to keep active. Your usually-empty guest room has become your new “satellite” office. While your kitchen has become the center of hubbub as you don’t only produce meals, but also pastries, desserts, and drinks.
With an ever-evolving place, constantly changing for your every need, furniture plays a big role. If you’re still not comfortable with visiting the showrooms of furniture shops around the metro or at the malls, you can now do it conveniently online. Just click on the item, but make sure you have a tape measure ready as you need to check the sizes to make sure that piece is a perfect fit for your space.
