Designing your own home is no easy feat. While there are many online videos and resources you can use for guidance, there is also no denying the value that the advice of an expert, such as an interior designer or an architect, holds. Unfortunately, though, not everyone has access to those. But if this is your dilemma, don’t fret–Real Living Philippines’ new offering is just what you need!

RealLiving Masterclass is a brand new video series where two expert architects survey the design of various homes featured on Real Living Philippines and offer useful tips for those who also wish to create beautiful spaces of their own. More specifically, the hosts will offer their thoughts on the look and functionality of those houses and share advice on how to procure materials and finishes that are both stylish and cost-effective.
