Cat Arambulo-Antonio, interior designer and mom of three tells us how her style preference shifted from bold and wild to a simpler and more tamed look because of the presence of her children. “I make the necessary precautions now that my kids are around and we know that accidents, dirt and spills are unavoidable. My number one rule in choosing my accessories is that they should be pretty but unbreakable”, says Cat. For moms who still want to create a stylish and functional space at home, these are some tips to keep in mind.
Opt for custom-made furniture
Opt for custom-made furniture
Aside from being budget-friendly, you can tweak your pegs a little by adding a personal touch. Also, the measurements are more precise and will be more fit in your home.
Don’t overspend on accessories
“You can find affordable yet classy accessories from H&M, they have those rose gold cups which by the way are trending now. You can also go to SM Home and of course, look at tiangges when you travel!”
Work with what you have
“I used to buy new sets of tableware whenever a piece gets broken but my latest discovery is that you can use old and new plates together matched with different silverware and cups and it works, it still looks pretty!”
Consider the personality of your kids
With her youngest, Alana, Cat mixed pink and black to keep it fun and classy. As for her 13 year-old daughter, Danielle, she used green wallpaper because green stimulates the mind. She also injected other bold colors that her daughter loves. And for the only boy, and three year-old Asher, “He is into planes. He doesn’t want to drive or own one, but he seriously wants to be one!” So we’re guessing his room is full of flying planes as well.
Moms can still inject their personality when styling their home. Just because you have kids, doesn’t mean you can’t show your fun side anymore. Play with colors and texture and even use irregular furniture (just as long as they are safe for the little ones). If you are not confident enough to style your own home, then you may want to hire professionals you can comfortably work with.
