So you've got flatware, bar glasses, books, jewels, shoes, irreplaceable mementos, or even—yes—clutter to store.

But where do you put them in your sophisticated and stylish abode that's home to only the prettiest pieces of furniture that fulfill your aesthetic and functional needs? Certainly your things aren't going to go on artless stainless steel racks or into a visibly dated aparador that doesn't quite match your home's décor.

It's a dilemma tasteful homeowners have encountered at least once in their lives, but this time, a trusted local furniture brand offers elegant solutions that please trained eyes and discerning palates while being straightforwardly utilitarian.

Bar cabinet in walnut

As Filipino homeowners have increasingly preferred fashion-forward homes, design-wise, with varied features and amenities, it comes to no surprise that Philux now has a bar cabinet for a complete set of bar paraphernalia. A staple in man caves (or at times, an element found even in a home ruled by a woman, too!), it's a handsome piece to have on hand and one that'll definitely come in handy for spontaneous sessions with friends on a Friday night, not to mention that it'll make a great gift for upcoming Father's Day for dads into decorating their personal spaces.

The two-door media storage with rattan matting

We're in love with this piece as it rides on the enduring home design trend of bringing the outdoors indoors, or, that is, incorporating organic elements into inside spaces. The rattan matting, paired with a brass finish, isn't just fresh and contemporary, it is distinctly Filipino, too.

Armoirie in walnut

Just because a piece of furniture is inside your room and isn't seen by guests often (or never seen at all) doesn't mean it has to be dull and devoid of pretty details. Check out this armoirie that's sure to spruce up your wardrobe not only by storing your most fashionable finds, but by being a conversation piece in itself. We're especially a fan of this piece's size as it appeals to the design sensibilities of more and more Filipinos who choose to live in high-rise residences or have made them their halfway home; though not necessarily their main residence, it would still be pretty awesome if they were as beautiful as them!
