For Filipinos, "home" is more than just a building, it is a sanctuary and personal haven filled with sentimental objects that represent treasured possessions. Despite the trend towards simplicity and minimalism, old appliances, furniture, trinkets, and mementos are still cherished in Filipino homes and kept as symbols of remembrance and preservation.

As the holiday season draws near, Filipinos prepare early not just for the anticipated festive occasion but also for the homecomings, reunions, and get-togethers. To make sure that important and valued belongings will not be thrown away when you declutter, IKEA has offerings that can help make room for what matters.

With IKEA’s furniture and smart storage solutions, Filipino homes become holiday-ready as it not only helps tidy your space but also allows you to display ornaments and decoration to elevate the holiday spirit at home.

From chaos to calm
Our living room is a place in our homes where we put our valuable possessions to display and make memories with families and relatives. This is why the living room area should have enough space to accommodate our loved ones coming over and should also have a cozy ambience.

To make living rooms more put together, the VIMLE sofa series has a low and deep modular design and provides hidden storage that can be used to keep items away.

You can also enhance your organization with the functionality of chic storage options, such as the BESTÅ and KALLAX shelves. By adding festive trinkets and Christmas decors, these shelves not only serve as excellent organizational tools but stylish home accents as well. Make the most of your available space with DRÖNA accompanying boxes that can help to organize personal items.

An ideal way of optimizing the BESTÅ shelf is by incorporating the KUGGIS storage containers for stowing objects tidily and seamlessly fit inside the BESTÅ furniture. With these functional furniture, a chaotic living room full of prized possessions can be turned into a cozy and relaxing space.

From pans to the table
Salu-salo is one of our favorite parts of the celebration where we savor the best dishes our families serve. Whether preparing or presenting the food, IKEA 365+ has a vast selection of practical and reasonably-priced storage solutions for both the kitchen and dining areas.

Aside from kitchen utensils like knives, pots, and casseroles to help with cooking, it also offers food containers in different shapes and sizes to store holiday meals and keep leftovers fresh.

Extended family members also have the joy of celebrating the holiday season, especially during the Noche Buena. IKEA’s EKEDALEN series provides a wide range of extendable tables to accommodate more guests while dining.

From imagination to creation
To complete the holiday vibes of your home, you can incorporate your design and decoration ideas with the VINTERFINT and STRÅLA collection through products that come in festive red, green, and white colors that represent the Christmas season.

The collection includes Christmas trees, decors and trinkets, lamps and lights, dinnerware and even baking essentials, which give a feeling of simplicity and comfort.

From wish list to reality
Aside from the furniture that helps step up the look of our homes, IKEA also offers gift ideas to make the kids’ wish list come true. The AFTONSPARV collection, with its astronaut and space-themed toys and bed linens, as well as the MÅLA series, with its lineup of high-quality art supplies, spark children’s creativity and challenge their curiosity.

A more interactive way to encourage their motor skills and social interaction is by giving them a LILLABO series that has wooden railway sets with different car and train designs and a DUKTIG series with its realistic-looking baking and cooking options.

To encourage the kids in learning how to put away their gifts once they are done playing, you may also get them an UPPTÅG storage box designed like a hot air balloon. This can give them the excitement in cleaning up their things.
