In MyHome’s year-end issue, we explore the art of creating new traditions while honoring the old. Our cover story features Dr. Aivee Aguilar-Teo’s stunning holiday-ready home, styled in partnership with Furnitalia. Their timeless Italian pieces complement the elegance of the Teo family’s aesthetic, highlighting the interplay between tradition and modern sophistication.

For Dr. Aivee and her family, the holidays are a time to celebrate togetherness. Her home becomes a canvas where festive decor meets treasured heirlooms, combining classic charm with fresh, contemporary updates. This month’s cover story is about spaces that celebrate design, craftsmanship, and the memories that make a house a home.

Inside the issue, MyHome offers a range of inspiration for the season. From reinventing traditional styling with modern touches to creating cozy corners for entertaining, we guide you in curating a space that exudes comfort and elegance. Discover tips on layering textures, updating your holiday color palette, and incorporating meaningful pieces that add personality and warmth to your home.

Ben Enilo’s Executive Studio

Branding and creative strategist Ben Enilo transforms his 53-square-meter executive studio apartment into a harmonious blend of style, functionality, and personal expression. Nestled in a charming 1999 building, the space showcases Enilo’s love for vintage charm and thoughtful design. Reflecting his profession and personal values, the space is both a sanctuary and a statement, seamlessly adapting to his lifestyle while inspiring creativity and connection.

Ivy Almario’s Chic Personal Sanctuary

Interior designer Ivy Almario’s Makati two-story condo reflects her sophisticated aesthetic and deeply personal design philosophy. Combining timeless beauty with modern functionality, the space is both a sanctuary and a hub for meaningful connections. Almario expertly weaves personal touches—like dog sculptures and her son’s photography—with smart features like integrated lighting and motion detectors. From hosting family meals at her dining table to unwinding with morning tea in her serene bedroom, Almario’s home embodies her belief that design should nurture both the spirit and the senses.

MyHome’s Holiday Gift Guide

This holiday season, elevate your gifting game with a curated selection of stylish and meaningful presents for everyone on your list. From elegant tableware and luxurious personal items to artistic home décor, these gift ideas celebrate thoughtful design and craftsmanship. Explore these unique options, including eco-friendly lamps, handcrafted ceramics, and timeless furniture, to make every celebration memorable and filled with holiday cheer.

Maximalism and Cultural Fusion

Maximalism is emerging as a bold counter-movement, celebrating abundance through vibrant cultural fusion. This trend blends rich colors, patterns, and textures, reflecting personal narratives and global influences. Long favored in stylish homes from New York to Mumbai, it’s now a centerpiece for modern tastemakers. Highlighted pieces, from Turkish kilims to Filipino-crafted lamps, further showcase how this approach combines tradition and innovation, making every space a reflection of life’s abundance.

Whether you’re drawn to timeless designs or eager to craft fresh holiday rituals, our latest issue celebrates the transformative power of intentional living. Join us in embracing both the customs we cherish and the excitement of creating new memories with loved ones.

Happy Holidays from MyHome!
