Anko’s latest Home collection helps Filipinos create stylish spaces for less

Small updates can make a big difference, especially when they’re inspired by global design trends. Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko is introducing its newest Home collection to help Filipino shoppers create inviting, personality-filled spaces through affordable décor and everyday essentials.

Available starting Friday, July 30 at TriNoma, Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall 1, with selected items already available, the collection combines style, practicality, and value in one thoughtfully curated range.

Created by Anko’s Melbourne-based design and buying team, the collection reflects today’s growing appreciation for expressive interiors layered with texture, warmth, and functional design.

“We’re seeing homeowners want two things at once — spaces that feel personal, and spaces that feel calm,” said Siri Thanissorn, Anko Living Home Design Manager. “This collection brings both to life through warm colors, layered textures, and soft, sculptural forms, and because a beautiful home isn’t about spending more, every piece is designed to be useful, easy to style, and easy to afford.”

One of the collection’s defining themes is Playful Pattern Layering, introducing stripes and gingham patterns into home accessories.

Blue Stripe Dinner Plates or Bowls (₱90), Bow Cushions in Blue, Mocha and Pesto (₱400), and Pink Stripe Box (₱400) offer accessible ways to embrace the trend.

“Playful pattern layering is about having the freedom to mix colours and prints in a way that feels natural. We wanted to create a collection that makes those trends accessible through well-designed products at everyday affordable prices,” she said.

The collection also welcomes the Return of Warm Tones, highlighting chocolate brown alongside sage green and blush pink.

“Rich, earthy tones like chocolate brown and soft greens bring an instant sense of calm indoors,” she highlighted. “They act as a visual cooling effect against the Manila heat, making your home feel like a breezy, serene oasis the second you step inside.”

Suggested pieces include the Mocha and Pesto Bow Cushions (₱400), Rustica Dinner Plates and Bowls (₱200), and Chevron Bath Towels (₱495).

For homeowners seeking timeless elegance, Quiet Luxury offers sculptural ceramics and marble-inspired finishes.

“True luxury is about the feeling a beautifully crafted piece brings to your space,” Siri added. “By layering soft curves with organic, tactile materials like marble and ceramic, anyone can easily create a sophisticated sanctuary right at home.”

Products include the Green Twist Edge Decor Tray (₱450), Textured Wavy Ceramic Vase (₱650), Amber Woods Ribbed Glass Candle (₱350), Chrome Amiri Lamp (₱790), and Goldie Rechargeable Wall Sconce (₱1,500).

Kitchen updates come through Mini Frypans (₱390), Pink Mesh Basket (₱350), Potato Chip, Heart Cake, French Fries and Pancake Candles (₱580), and the Fruit and Flower Mugs beginning at ₱200, which have already become a viral hit.

For budget-conscious shoppers, the Linear Creates, 4 Pack Fruit Napkins, and Succulent in Wavy Pot all retail for ₱300.

“You don’t have to spend more to add personality to your home,” said Siri. “Each piece is intentionally designed to layer effortlessly into existing spaces, making it easy for customers to refresh rather than replace.”
