The actress and brand ambassador, together with Sarah Dummett, shared styling tips on creating stylish yet functional spaces with the brand&rsquo;s new Home Living collection.&nbsp;

Designing your home&rsquo;s interior can feel overwhelming &mdash; intimidating even. From choosing a style that suits your space to choosing the right furniture and deciding on the smallest accents, every detail matters because these thoughtful touches could bring everything together. After all, our homes are reflections of who we are.&nbsp;
This was exactly the message behind the recent Interior Design Masterclass by Anko, held at their TriNoma branch, where brand ambassador Anne Curtis-Smith joined Kmart Australia Limited Business Manager for Home Sarah Dummett. Together, they shared practical tips and meaningful insights into home styling, showing how anyone can create a space that can be both personal and practical.&nbsp;

Emphasizing on intentionality, Anne and Sarah highlighted how refreshing colors and layered textures can deliver a simple yet striking transformation to a room. Known for her effortless style, Anne recommended pairing bold pieces with neutral backdrops for a refined refresh, while Sarah noted how shapes and forms can subtly add character and dimension to a space. They also both pointed out that practical items, like kitchen essentials, can double up as decor that brings in warmth and a sense of lived-in atmosphere.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Events like this give us the opportunity to connect with our customers in a more personal and inspiring way,&rdquo; expressed Rachel Turner, country manager of Anko Philippines. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a chance to engage directly, spark creativity, and show that Anko is not just about selling products, but it&rsquo;s also about helping Filipinos create homes they truly love.&rdquo;

At the heart of this masterclass is Anko&rsquo;s recently launched Home Living collection, a line that carries the brand&rsquo;s vision of blending style with functionality. Designed by the in-house team in Melbourne, the collection brings sculptural forms, rich textures, and vibrant accents that blend seamlessly into Filipino homes.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Filipino homes are all about warmth and togetherness, and that&rsquo;s exactly what this collection brings,&rdquo; said Anne. &ldquo;As a mom, I can see how these pieces make it easy to create spaces that are both family-friendly and welcoming for guests.&rdquo;
Sarah also shared an insight on the process of developing the collection. &ldquo;We start by looking at the global trends, then adapt them for the way our customers live. For the Philippines, that meant focusing on designs that are stylish but also highly functional in varying home sizes and layouts,&rdquo; she explained.&nbsp;

More than just an interior design lesson, the masterclass was a reminder that home styling is all about making it personal and choosing details that reflect who you are and how you live. With Anko&rsquo;s Home Living collection, you can curate rooms and spaces that are inviting, purposeful, and effortlessly sophisticated.&nbsp;
The Home Living collection is now available in Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, and Trinoma Mall, for a limited time. For more information about Anko and the collection, you can visit their website and social media pages.&nbsp;
