Sometimes, it’s the small things that make a home feel special, a softly glowing candle, a diffuser carrying hints of lemongrass in the air, or a cushion in a color that makes you smile when you see it on the couch. That’s the spirit behind Anko’s newly launched Home Living Collection, which arrived in the Philippines this August at TriNoma, Glorietta 2, and Alabang Town Center.
Straight from their Melbourne design team, the range feels like a reminder to slow down and enjoy the details. Ripple-edged mirrors, curved chairs, and textured ceramics are there not to overwhelm, but to add a bit of joy to the ordinary, whether that’s a lazy Sunday morning breakfast or winding down with a book in your favorite chair.
Take the Lava Rock Diffuser, for instance. At just ?550, it’s an easy way to bring a calm atmosphere into your space, pairing gentle designs with scents like Lemongrass or Ginger. Or the Mali Lounge Chair, a minimalist piece that feels perfect for daydreaming by a window. Even practical pieces, like storage ottomans or laundry baskets, are reimagined in playful hues of sage, purple, or green, making everyday routines feel a little lighter.
The collection is also about flexibility, mixing and matching to suit your mood. Maybe it’s a stripe cushion to brighten a neutral room, or a muslin cotton quilt cover in seagrass green that makes bedtime even more inviting.
Anko has also tied in a thoughtful experience for its community. This September, Anko Club members can join an Interior Design Masterclass at TriNoma, with design expert Sarah Dummett sharing simple styling tips. Anne Curtis-Smith, who has been part of Anko’s journey locally, revealed her personal pick: the sage ceramic sauté pan, which blends utility with elegance.
More than a collection, it’s an invitation to re-discover how the little things can turn everyday living into something warmer, cozier, and unmistakably yours.
