Home for the holidays

MANILA, Philippines - It’s the “ber” months again and the cold weather seems to make everything gloomy and cold. This calls for some home improvements to brighten up the place and create that “spring” feeling.

DMCI Homes shares tips on sprucing up and revitalizing your condo unit.

• Add white to your present color scheme. If your room color is yellow, brown or red, opt for ecru or ivory as accent. If it’s green or blue, choose the brighter, cleaner whites.

• Paint your focal wall in a brighter or lighter shade of your current wall color. It will add lightness to the room without drastically changing the design or look.

• De-clutter. Clear out most of the items and accessories in your room, and just keep a few larger, simpler pieces. Place fresh flowers at the center of the room to remind you of the outdoors all year long.

• Take down the curtains. Use the mini blinds instead. This will let fresh air and sunlight into your home. Air circulation and natural lighting are important in promoting health and wellness.

• Place potted plants or flowers instead of artificial ones for that homey feel.

All these design ideas are geared towards creating a natural home setting for you and your family. That’s exactly what DMCI Homes had in mind when they conceptualized a community right in the heart of QC.

Magnolia Place, a residential community of mid-rise condominium buildings set amid themed pocket gardens and a landscaped central curvilinear park, is DMCI Homes’ answer to the needs of the young urban family.

Twelve five-story buildings, laid out in single and double rows, will be spread out on a more than three-hectare property. Approximately 1.5 hectares or 50 percent of the land area of Magnolia Place will be allotted for amenities and open spaces. Such is DMCI Homes’ commitment to providing a quality home where today’s young family can freely grow and get away from the fast-paced urban jungle.

Bright colors create that “spring” feeling in the room.

The residential buildings also feature the DMCI Homes trademark of single-loaded corridors and landscaped atriums with central skylight for natural lighting and fresh ventilation.

A utility area for the residents’ use is located on the roof deck as well as covered parking at the lower ground floor. There’s also a clubhouse, which features a swimming pool, a gym, game room, entertainment room and function rooms.

“We cater to end-users who represent 90 percent of our buyers,” says Flor Ofrecio, DMCI Homes director for sales. “They are looking for a place away from the pressures and chaos of the city yet near enough to their place of work as well as the schools of their children.”

Located along Tandang Sora Ave. in QC, Magnolia Place offers a safe and secure community setting for growing families.

Unit owners have the freedom to create inspired interiors for their own condo home. But with the Lumiventt advantage and the overall efficient configuration of the building layout, it doesn’t take much to brighten up their home, and yes, even their everyday life.

DMCI Homes is the country’s premier triple-A builder-developer that brings serviced, themed communities within reach of urban families. For inquiries, visit www.dmcihomes.com. Clubhouse and model units are ready for viewing.
