Pink lovers, unite! Community member Madz Dimaculangan recently shared the newest update on her workstation, and it’s all pink and charming.

Madz kept it clean and classy. Her white table, chair, and wall were accented with pink hues from the monitor, desk pad, and abubots on the shelves.

She also used clear and white organizers for her make-up and other vanity essentials to keep it clean and pleasing to the eyes.

Eyeing that spacious table? Madz shared in the comments section that she got it from Ikea, specifically the Lagkapten/Alex drawers and the Linnmon/Adils.

You can never go wrong with neutrals! Mico Castro recently shared his newly designed room intended for Airbnb rentals. He mostly incorporated wood and wood-like elements and complemented them with ornamental plants. 

He also used contrasting dark and light colors for the walls, curtains, and furniture pieces like sofa chairs and used a rattan chandelier which created that warm and cozy feel.

Community member Chaii Santos-Cultivo transformed her previously Nordic-designed room into a neoclassical theme. 

“This is for my husband and my son. Gusto ko kasi na maayos yung uuwian nila para kahit toxic sa work at sa school at least mawawala yung pagod nila pag nakita nilang malinis at maayos yung bahay,” Chaii wrote in her post. 

She opted to stay with white, green, and gold color motifs to achieve that elegant vibe. She also used warm wall lights and lamp on the side table that give that cozy ambiance. Taking the spotlight is her wall moldings in sage green and white, which gave the room a “personality.”

Straying away from the usual homey design, community member Moses Arón Alcantara transformed an empty old house into a black and minimalist bar design. 

Moses decorated the black room with rustic light fixtures, a TV stand, and a table. He also used vintage-looking frames to decorate the cement-finished walls and displayed liquors on small shelves. Completing the look is a red lamp that adds a fun and bar-like vibe.

Do you have a growing collection of toys, favorite colors, or favorite K-pop merch?  Take inspiration from virtual kapitbahay Marlyn Javier, a solid ARMY who has a big collection of BT21 merch. 

Marlyn, whose bias is Jimin, decorated her white room with colorful and cute plushies and other household items of BT21, a BTS merch from its collaboration with LINE. From her bedsheet, and ergonomic chair, to bathroom needs, this ARMY made sure to not miss a spot. 

She shared in the comments section that it took her a while to organize all the items, and what helped her was utilizing cabinets and racks. 

As for her plushies and pillows on display, she makes sure that they are covered with plastics to prevent dust, while other items are kept in the drawers. Otherwise, she cleans her items with a microfiber cloth once a week.

“Medyo it requires extra time to keep them clean, but I enjoy doing it anyway,” she added.
