If you’re looking for cool vintage inspo shots, trend updates and seasonal collections, this is the feed for you.

Whether this US-based brand is within your budget or a source of “Steal this Look” inspo, West Elm’s consistent and constantly updated feed provides you with contemporary classics that satisfy a wide array of tastes. From shots highlighting their tastefully crafted furniture, to entire tableaus that will teach you how to fill your home with just the right indoor plants, this shop will make you want to sell all your furniture and start from scratch.
Visit West Elm at Estancia Mall, Capitol Commons, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City.
With branding so strong, it reflects in everything from fashion to beauty to homeware, this eclectic, bohemian brand out of Philadelphia is the older, more affluent, more well-traveled sister of young brand Urban Outfitters. Although Anthropologie finds aren’t available in Manila, its feed manages to thresh up a vibe that is very present in the city today. Follow for beautiful colors, international flavors, and truly delectable styling.
4. Heima
While this brand, as of late, has garnered a lot of attention for well curated celebrity homes and fashion forward establishments (hello, Sunnies Café and Happy Skin) Heima has always been known for their clean, Scandi-inspired aesthetic. Their feed takes the pastel pinks, refreshing mints, and cool grays to a whole other level with impeccably styled shots featuring their brand’s own pieces. PS: Even their ads are absolutely gorgeous, you’ll want them on your feed.
Heima Store is located at #103 Three Brixton St. Brgy. Pasig 1603, Brixton St., Pasig City.
An American chain of retail stores, Crate & Barrel surely gave us tons of options for high-end home accessories, decor, and even dinnerware when they opened branches in the Philippines. Get lost in the brand's grid that features captivating vignettes, lovely pieces, and an elegant vibe that you would love to recreate at home.
Visit Crate & Barrel, SM Makati, Courtyard Drive, San Lorenzo Village, Makati City.
6. Design Story
With a feed as bright and breezy as everything its featured brands have to offer, you would want to follow Design Story, too. Delicate lines, simplified styling, and sparse color palettes are the hallmark of HAY, while Stellar Works highlights a chic Asian sensibility and timeless design. These two brands can help you complete the space you've always wanted, and it's good to know that you can find them under one roof.
Visit Design Story at 3rd Level, Uptown Mall, 9th Ave. corner 36th St., Uptown Bonifacio, The Fort, Taguig City.
7. BoConcept
A longtime player in the Manila furniture scene, BoConcept fuses urban living with Danish design. Translate that platitude into visual form and what you get is a feed filled with gorgeously decorated homes that range from your dude’s dream bachelor pad to a family home set against idyllic European forests. If you can’t afford the higher price points (of both the furniture and the lush homes), you can at least dream and double-tap away.
Visit BoConcept Philippines at 1st Flr, MOs Design Bldg., B2, Bonifacio High Street, 9th Ave., Taguig.
8. IKEA
Every year, a rumor pops up about this Swedish big box furniture store finally opening in the Philippines, and every year seems to be a bust. That said, resourceful Pinoys have found a handful of workarounds, managing to score these inexpensive, DIY buys despite the store’s absence here. IKEA has always been known for its comprehensive catalog—their IG account is just another way for you to access the best in starter home furniture right at your fingertips.
9. KISH
Ito Kish has made his name not only in furniture but also in flawless styling and visual merchandising. This knack for knowing just how to style a living room piece, a tabletop or a side table is translated directly into his store’s eponymous Instagram account. Expect a lot of white space, decadent pieces and a bridging of minimalist and maximalist ideals. If your feed’s been lacking lush detailing as of late, this is a must-follow.
Visit KISH at #233 Nicanor Garcia Street, Makati City.
10. a-11
Tucked in a quiet corner of Pasay, Artelano 11 houses Eric Paras’ meticulously curated collection of art deco and mid-century inspired pieces. Set in a one of a kind wooden house from the 1950s, everything from candelabras to lampshades, ceramics to sculptures instantly achieves a moody, ethereal signature a-11 look. No serious art collector would be without this gem of a feed.
a-11 is located at #2680 FB Harrison St., Pasay City.
