Easter egg hunts may have taken a bit of a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic but many of the country’s Easter-related events and festivities were back recently. Different locations across the country have hosted their respective Easter-related events as people went outside again and prepared to welcome the Easter spirit.

While the pandemic has deprived many kids of the fun experiences, Amore at Portofino, Brittany Corporation’s 32-hectare Tuscan-inspired exclusive gated community located within Vista City, has worked to ensure Easter is not one of them.

Brittany Corporation hosted an easter to remember

Together with Global Land Property Management, Inc., Brittany Corporation hosted and brought back the full Easter egg hunt experience with a multitude of colors and special treats exclusively for Amore at Portofino homeowners and their kids last April 17, 2022, at the clubhouse.

The fun-filled Easter Sunday event featured kids-friendly activities like craft projects, balloon curation, a magic show, and the much-awaited Easter egg hunt.

Families were able to play, take photos, meet other homeowners, and still felt safe and truly enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors and the joy of the holiday tradition.

“I, myself, have a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old and they love coming to events. The Easter activity was so special for them”, shared one of Amore at Portofino homeowners.

“We never in a million years could have asked for or expected this, that’s why we’re grateful to Brittany and the Homeowners Association of Amore at Portofino for organizing this activity”, she added.

The event, which took place last weekend was attended by over 50 residents and their families.

Brittany Corporation is the luxury residential arm of the largest homebuilder, Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. With Brittany’s Old World European and American-themed projects, Brittany creates masterpieces of luxury living for sophisticated home buyers with a taste for artful living.

Many people have experienced a health emergency firsthand for the very first time when COVID-19 started to plague the world two years ago. Majority of the global population did not know how to deal with this experience and was confused with the new information they find all over mainstream media and social networking sites.

When the lockdowns started to be implemented across nations, confusion turned into panic as people wonder how to go on with their lives with a brand new daily routine that was being forced on them. Some hurried to get out of the city and left their houses to stay in rural areas which they believe are relatively safer, a trend that caused the availability of many homes for sale in the real estate market during the beginning of the pandemic.

The Importance of Effective Leadership During Health Emergencies

Sure enough, the pandemic has taught the world many things that built resilience in case a new health crisis arises. However, different crises require different approaches. A pandemic is not the only scenario in which a healthcare emergency response is a necessity, it also navigates a wide variety of events such as fires, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters like floods which is common in the Philippines. All these will involve a good health emergency response to be resolved effectively.

During a healthcare emergency, leadership should be quick and responsive. It requires a strong focus on planning, clear communication, and immediate action. According to Maryville University, the key elements of effective leadership in a healthcare crisis involves creating a leadership team, developing a plan, seeking out credible information, communicating the information broadly, and taking action in a calm and decisive manner.

In the Philippines, the need for more and better healthcare facilities like hospitals has been really evident in the past two years. This is why throughout the course of the pandemic, there were a lot of discussion on how to improve the healthcare system in the country. Gladly, there are leaders who responded to the growing need to help improve the service to the people especially with the ongoing pandemic.

One example is the additional healthcare facilities at the Lung Center of the Philippines which was successfully turned over in 2021 by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary, Mark Villar. As one of the top hospitals admitting COVID-19 cases, the additional facilities helped handle the increasing number of patients in need of treatment of severe to critical cases.

The Citizens’ Role in Health Emergencies

While the nation’s leaders have a huge role to play in responding to health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, many setbacks would have been avoided if the citizens are also aware of the necessary steps where health emergency response plans usually go.

In a time when disinformation is rampant, it is a major roadblock for the government to implement the plans in place due to the spread of wrong information which eventually leads to the lack of confidence and trust of the citizens to its leaders.

Involving Citizens in Health Emergency Response

Both the leaders and citizens have significant roles to play in the management of health emergencies. Here are some of the ways to increase the citizens’ engagement to make way for a positive partnership in the next health crisis that might come our way.

Improve Risk Communication

According to World Health Organization (WHO), risk communication includes the range of communication capacities required through the preparedness, response and recovery phases of a serious public health event to encourage informed decision making, positive behavior change and the maintenance of trust.

It is important for leaders to tailor each message about a health emergency to its intended audiences. To communicate effectively during a time when the people are in a state of fear and panic, there must be a combination of honesty, empathy, and expert knowledge. Remember that the goal is to build trust and create awareness before, during, and after a health emergency. Being able to successfully tailor fit the message to the audience will also help in identifying and eventually addressing what causes fear, anxiety or stigma in each demographic. Also, in this day and age, it is important to use various channels to disseminate a message. People nowadays use different information channels so making sure to utilize the appropriate one for the intended audience is a must.

Although, this goes both ways. The citizens should also be encouraged to only look up sources that are credible and teach them how to not fall prey on fake information spreading in different channels which will only cause delays in resolving the crisis at hand.

Involve Communities in Research

During the early stages of vaccine development for COVID-19, there were many reports of clinical trials in different nations that participated in the research. This information helped the people gain trust and eventually translated to positive action which is getting the vaccine themselves.

A person involved in the research stage of a health emergency response plan will become an ambassador to the community of the plan’s effectivity. It is a good way to rebuild the people’s trust and encourage participation in the following steps of the response plan.

Share Research Learnings

Aside from involving communities in the research, it is also important to make use of relevant channels to share research learnings—data which then will be interpreted to be better understood by the citizens and empower them as a vital part of the plan.

Health Emergency Checklist for Citizens

The citizens’ role is not limited to the response plan during the health emergency. Preparedness, both in health and disaster emergencies, have been a topic that is being shared repeatedly for the people to be educated on. Aside from the recent health crisis, the Philippines is vulnerable to many natural disasters as witnessed in the previous years. All of these events can lead to a health emergency. Preparedness is key to help avoid fatal consequences in case such event happens.

Be Prepared

• Take note of the emergency phone numbers and post it in an accessible location inside the home. Such numbers include the ambulance, personal doctors, fire and police departments.
• Determine the location and route to the nearest health facility before an emergency happens. This is one of the reasons why location is the always on top of the considerations when choosing houses to live in. You need to ensure that the home is near to facilities that one needs in case of an emergency.
• Learn first aid. Having basic knowledge of things to do for common health emergencies at home can save lives when immediate access to healthcare is not possible.
• Stock up on necessities inside the home that can be used for emergencies like canned food, first aid kit, batteries, etc. Preparing these items surely came in handy when the lockdown was announced that caused panic buying among many people, not just in the Philippines but all over the globe.
• Prepare a go bag with a portion of the necessary items that is easily accessible in case quick evacuation is a must.

What To Do During and After a Health Emergency

For a health emergency as huge as COVID-19, the best thing to do for citizens is to stay informed by tuning in to credible media outlets. Being in the know of the latest updates about the situation is the best way to avoid making rash decisions. Also, in any kind of emergencies, it is important to calm one’s self but stay alert.

Distress is expected from experiencing an emergency; the degree may vary from each individual—this is why recovery can also be difficult for some. Monitoring one’s self and those who went through the same experience is important to ensure that it will not have long term negative effects on one’s overall well-being.

Conclusion

Ensuring the family’s safety is a priority. This is a consideration for most, if not all, the choices that a person makes—including choosing a home to live in. And when it comes to safety, luxury homes and luxury condo ensures that the residents will have a top-notch experience to keep the family safe and secure.

Infrastructure is vital to a nation’s development as it directly affects economic growth. One of the main reasons behind the need for excellent roads is to enable faster transportation of people and goods to other cities, regions, and countries. Without the existence of functional physical infrastructure to serve this purpose, there will be delays that will eventually result to great losses.

As early as 2014, the New York Times reported a loss of 876 billion pesos a year in lost productivity and wasted energy according to a study conducted by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In a later study by JICA in 2018, the traffic congestion being experienced in Metro Manila costs the nation about 3.5 billion losses per day.

This information just proves the importance of infrastructure and how it will prompt—and even lead—the nation’s economic growth by enhancing connectivity, productivity, and efficiency.

What is the Build, Build, Build Program?

To address the so-called “achilles heel” of the nation’s economic development, the administration of President Duterte announced its centerpiece program following his victory in 2016 which is the Build, Build, Build (BBB) program.

President Duterte aims for this massive program to finally usher the “Golden Age of Infrastructure” of the Philippines by allotting a whopping budget of around 9 trillion pesos for the construction of major infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, airports, and other transportation systems that will go beyond the end of his term in 2022.

Projects under the BBB Program

The BBB program, spearheaded by Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar and Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arturo Tugade, originally listed the following projects:

• 75 infrastructure projects
• Five flood control projects
• Four energy facilities
• Three social infrastructures

Some of these are flagship projects that have a combined cost of P2.2 trillion. These are considered high-impact and intended to facilitate the efficient transport of goods and people, encourage rural development, and create millions of jobs by 2022.

Even with these massive numbers, the government announced a modification from this list a few months before the lockdown started—making the original 75 to become about a hundred projects to combine the ones already in the works and those that were started by the previous administrations.

What are the latest updates on Build, Build, Build projects?

DPWH Secretary Mark Villar recently said this statement in an interview when asked about the BBB program: “We are proud of President Duterte’s BBB program. Over the past five years, the program generated six million jobs. The government built more than 29,000 kilometers of road, over 5,000 bridges, and 150,000 school buildings. We’re able to accomplish a lot despite pandemic.”

Shelved Projects under BBB

It seems that BBB remains the pride and legacy of President Duterte’s administration despite the shelving of some flagship projects originally listed in the program. As of November 2019, only 32 of the original 75 projects remained but added with 68 new projects which bulked the list to about a hundred, as previously stated above.

Some of the bridges that will take longer to build have been replaced by local roads, and massive projects that were scheduled to be completed beyond President Duterte’s administration such as the Luzon-Samar and Bohol-Leyte Link Bridges and the Cebu-Bohol and Cebu-Negros bridges have been dropped. Along with these are 10 bridge projects in Metro Manila that were supposedly due next year, 2023.

Still, BBB Delivered to its Promise

Secretary Mark Villar gave a detailed statement on the status of the BBB projects last June 2021. He said, “A total of 6.5 million workers made ‘Build, Build, Build’ a reality. We are confident that President Duterte’s promise of decongesting EDSA by 2022 will become a reality. In one month, we will open the Pantaleon-Estrella Bridge which will connect Makati and Mandaluyong within 12 minutes. Before the term of the President ends, we will complete the construction of several big-ticket projects, including the Kalayaan Bridge linking Taguig and Pasig, Binondo-Intramuros Bridge, Mindanao Avenue Extension, Katipunan Avenue Extension, and the NLEX-SLEX Connector project which will connect Skyway Stage 3 and NLEX Harbor Link.”

Secretary Arturo Tugade added, “Since 2016, the Department of Transportation has completed a total of 212 airport projects and working on 102 more. This 2021, we are set to inaugurate various completed airport projects in Clark, Catarman, Butuan, Busuanga, Zamboanga, Siquijor, General Santos, and Bicol. Across the archipelago, we have also completed a total of 446 seaport projects, while 117 more are ongoing. New railways are also being built and existing rail lines are getting much-needed upgrades. In fact, this month, we will finally inaugurate the LRT-2 East Extension, and before the year ends, the massive rehabilitation of the MRT-3 and the Common Station will be completed. To date, we have a total of 1,090 kilometers of railway length with ongoing project implementation. To decongest EDSA, we have established the EDSA Busway, and built Bike Lanes to promote active transport.”

DPWH Undersecretary Emil Sadain said in a virtual briefing February of 2022 that 18 more out of the 112 infrastructure flagship projects are scheduled to be completed at the end of President Duterte’s administration.

What are the future plans for the Build, Build, Build Program?

The continuation of the BBB program is one of the major concerns that is being asked to the presidential aspirants for the upcoming 2022 elections in the Philippines. The government agencies working on the program like DPWH are hopeful that the next administration will continue these massive efforts to develop excellent infrastructure across the nation.

Undersecretary Sadain said this in line with the question about the future of the BBB program, “We have seen also that the viability of implementing these projects are so strong because of the huge economic impact that will be brought to the country. We believe that these can be sustained by the next administration.”

Sadain enumerated the following as the big-ticket projects under the BBB program that he hopes the new administration to continue are:

• Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge
• Panglao-Tagbilaran City Offshore Connector
• Guicam Bridge
• Three Tawi-Tawi Bridges
• Panay-Guimaras-Negros Link Bridge
• Cebu-Mactan Bridge
• Coastal [Road Construction]
• Panguil Bay Bridge
• Samal Island-Davao City Connector

As for DOTr, the projects mentioned that are considered of high importance are:

• North Commuter Railway
• Metro Manila Subway

Vince Dizon, Chief Executive Officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), believes that the BBB program is setting up the foundation for the next administration when it comes to infrastructure. He said, “We only have less than one year left in the Duterte administration. Whoever the next president will be, it is incumbent upon the next administration to not only continue, but to fast-track all the good work that has been done under the leadership of President Duterte.”

The future is still uncertain about the BBB program but it was surely a great start to hopefully open more doors when it comes to further infrastructure developments in the country.

Bottomline

Leaving a legacy that will last generations is what many people hope to accomplish. For a nation, this may translate to infrastructure; for families, securing a home has always been the ultimate dream. Providing a place of dwell that provide ease and comfort is what many people hope their loved ones to experience.

Brittany Corporation understands this dream. The top luxury real estate developer in the country offers luxury condo units and luxury homes in the Philippines that is sure to provide ease and comfort to its residents. Brittany Homes’ luxury real estate properties are located in great communities in Tagaytay, Santa Rosa, Alabang, and Sucat which are all near major infrastructure. Buying a luxury condo or luxury homes with Brittany Homes is a sure way to experience luxury living that is very accessible to and from the metro.

Aside from its accessibility, these luxury homes and luxury condo units provide a premium living experience with the themed communities that Brittany Homes boasts about. With great architectural design, excellent amenities, and other features as well, the family is sure to experience luxury living in their very own community!

There are a variety of compelling reasons to purchase a new home during this period. The reasons for purchasing a new home in the Philippines are becoming increasingly compelling, ranging from the rising market value of luxury homes to the need for additional safe havens for the entire family while in quarantine.

Finding a new home is exciting, considering all the things that the family is going to get from a brand new house. Moving to a new location is always fun, especially if it is a popular city, and having a new space to yourself can be refreshing and even inspiring. One thing to keep in mind, though, when looking for a new home, is that it can get overwhelming, with all the houses for sale that you can choose from.

Narrowing down the options does not have to be stressful, if the buyer has some specific things that he knows he wants, like the location, the appeal of the place, the size of the house, and others.

For example, if you want to have a world-class experience in one of the most beautiful houses in the Philippines, then you might want to consider getting a brand new house in Portofino, and an Italian-themed enclave in Vista Alabang. There, you can experience luxury living in an exclusive community, with nearby universities, shopping centers, and recreational facilities, among others. Check out Brittany Corporation, as they also offer luxury real estate, luxury condo, and luxury homes Philippines.

If you have determined what the buyer’s preferences are in regards to his or her new home, one important consideration is whether or not the buyer wants to purchase an entirely brand new house or previously owned home. Both of these options have advantages and disadvantages, but in general, buying a new home is the better option when all factors are taken into consideration.

Worry-Free Living

Getting a resale house can be a good decision, but one just never knows about the things that are not disclosed, the things that the new owner will only get to discover after the for-sale sign is removed. The resale house may look like it is in tip-top condition, but there will always be that worry that something may not be right, whether it is a minor or a major thing.

With brand new houses, there is added assurance that everything in it is still new, functional, and pristine. Houses that are newly constructed are also likely to have better, upgraded features that are designed to last longer with minimal maintenance.

Living in a well-designed home with built-in matching appliances, high-tech heating systems, and even modern plumbing will surely save you from the stress of calling different people to do repairs on your home every now and then. Modern fixtures have no need to be upgraded and they cost less to maintain.

A More Personalized Space

A homebuyer may choose to get a resale house and then bend to whatever is already in it. Living in a home that was already “broken in” by its previous owners may not be ideal for people who want to start their lives on a clean slate.

Purchasing a brand new home can provide the new owners with greater freedom to express themselves in their own unique styles. They will be able to personalize the new space with their own colors, textures, and patterns, rather than having to replace old carpets, tiles, and paneling that simply appear to be foreign to their eyes. When it comes to designing their brand new home, the family has a plethora of options.

Purchasing a new home in Portofino, for example, can give the impression of living in an authentic Italian environment. This gated community in Vista Alabang is reserved for those who have sophisticated tastes in terms of architecture and interior design. You don’t have to settle for a house that has been lived in when you can get a brand new house that matches your style and that you can personalize with your own belongings?

Go get that shiny new address in the South of Metro Manila from Brittany Corporation. You can trust them with world-class and luxury real estate, as they sell luxury homes Philippines, luxury condo, and the most beautiful houses in the Philippines.

Sustainable Living

One downside of purchasing a resale home is that it may have outdated features that are not energy-efficient in nature. It’s “out with the old, in with the new,” and this mantra holds true when it comes to purchasing a new home, because not only will new systems lower your electric bills in the coming months, but their energy efficiency can also reduce your family’s overall energy consumption as a whole.

Window treatments that are well-designed can, for example, reduce the need to turn on the interior lighting. These figures may come as a relief to breadwinners who may have been under the impression that large houses came with enormous electric bills that made them scratch their heads.

The installation of new doors with improved trim and seals can also assist in improving the ventilation and temperature regulation of the home. After the air conditioner has been turned off, the house will continue to be cool for a longer period of time. During the colder months, these same doors can assist in keeping the house warm by preventing drafts from entering, thereby reducing the need to run the heaters all of the time during the winter.

No Negativity

A resale house may physically be in good condition, but asking the seller a few questions about why she is selling the house can reveal some dirty laundry about the house or the space. This is for the people who believe in good fortune and positive and negative energies.

If a resale house is sold at a very low price, it may appear to be too good to be true; however, this is common for people who have had a traumatic experience in their current residence and simply want to relocate somewhere else. It’s possible that some unspeakable crime took place in the building, or that the previous owners came from a family with a particularly chaotic history.

In your position as a buyer, you would not want to begin your life in a place that is haunted by its past. Imagining, for example, that a loved one has passed away in the house may not be the most pleasant thought for a family wishing to create lasting memories in their new home. Instead, look for a brand new location where you can begin again with a clean slate and the people you care about.

Furthermore, choose a location that will not be associated with any negative connotations when you or your neighbors think about it.

On the website of the Brittany Corporation, you can browse through some world-class luxury real estate. Reset your life in the Philippines with your loved ones and spend the happiest years of your life in the most beautiful homes the country has to offer.

Warranties

When purchasing a brand new home, the manufacturer’s warranties will still apply to many of the items contained within. This increases the owner’s sense of security in the house because, aside from the fact that the house is well-built, if something does prove to be dysfunctional during the first few months of use, he will not be required to spend money on it because it can easily be replaced without requiring new purchases, lowering the owner’s financial outlay.

The contractors can easily return and obtain replacement materials in the event of a broken heating system or a leaking roof.

This is not an option for a buyer purchasing a resale home whose warranty period has already expired. Whatever damage the new owner discovers in the house, he is responsible for the repair costs. While purchasing a resale home may appear to be less expensive, one never knows what additional expenses will arise in the weeks or months following the purchase of the home.

Invest in luxury homes in the Philippines and luxury condominiums through Brittany Corporation and you’ll never have to worry about these things again!

Conclusion

Getting a new home for you and the family is always an exciting thought. There are a lot of options to choose from, and since this is one of the biggest purchases that you have to make, you would want to go with the best possible house that you can find, so go live your best life in a brand new house.

Purchasing a home grants you the freedom to decorate the interiors in any way you see fit, regardless of your financial situation. Your home should be a reflection of your individuality and style preferences, while also meeting your specific requirements for the space available. For example, you can choose from a variety of design aesthetics such as industrial, farmhouse chic, mid-century modern, minimalist, or Japandi, to name a few.

For your luxury house and lot in Tagaytay, on the other hand, a Swiss-style interior may be the best design choice for you. Given the cooler weather in Tagaytay, it is possible that living in a home there will make you feel as though you are in a foreign country.

If the idea of living in the countryside of Europe appeals to you, consider investing in a luxury home at Crosswinds Tagaytay, a Swiss-inspired community developed by Brittany Corporation in the Philippines. In a world where residential developments and luxury condominiums are designed to look like Swiss chalets, a Swiss-themed home interior makes perfect sense.

What is a Swiss Chalet?

It is designed to look like the Swiss countryside, and Crosswinds Tagaytay is a luxury residential and condominium development inspired by the Swiss Alps. Condominium buildings, resorts, and luxury homes in this community are designed to look like Swiss chalets, as are the surrounding landscape. Swiss chalets are mountainside dwellings that dot the Swiss landscape.

Originally, farmers used to use these chalets to guide their cattle to better grazing grounds during the summer months, which is when they were most prevalent. Their summer home was in these chalets, where they would make butter and cheese, before returning to their lowland villages for the winter months to continue their farming operations.

Today, Swiss chalets are primarily used by tourists and Swiss residents who flock to the alps during the winter months to ski and participate in other winter sports activities. Because of their location in the Alpine region, these structures have now become tourist attractions in themselves. The traditional construction of these mountain dwellings was made entirely of wood. They also had a roof with a gentle slope to encourage snow to slide off the roof.

This design is now being used to create interiors that are both beautiful and functional. Swiss design is available in large quantities at Crosswinds Tagaytay, which is one of the few places in the Philippines where you can find it. Alpine Villas, a Crosswinds development, features chalets that are designed to look like condominium units.

It was the same architectural choice that was made for the Crosswinds Tagaytay mountainside resort, which is also located in the Philippines. A Tagaytay condominium puts you one step closer to realizing your European mountainside dreams.

The surrounding landscape itself contributes to the Swiss-like atmosphere created. Crosswinds Tagaytay is home to over 35,000 pine trees, all of which are flourishing. The contours of the land’s hillside are also reminiscent of the Swiss Alps, which serve as a source of inspiration for the residents of this community.

A luxury condominium in Tagaytay is the most convenient way to live the Swiss lifestyle on a daily basis. Our team at Brittany Corporation is ready to assist you in your pursuit of a condominium for sale in Tagaytay.

How Can You Achieve a Swiss Home Interior?

Swiss interior design was created in order to provide warmth to a home located in a cold mountain environment. The interior design of your luxury house and lot in Tagaytay should be inspired by the European ski resorts, despite the fact that this is normally considered out of place in a tropical country.

The addition of this luxurious and comfortable feature to your Crosswinds condominium or home will undoubtedly enhance your living experience.

Switzerland’s interior design aesthetic, like any other design aesthetic, is defined by a number of traditional characteristics. If you use any of these tips in conjunction with one another, your Tagaytay home or condo will feel like a European mountain retreat in no time.

Let Wood be Your Key Design Feature

In a traditional Swiss home, wood is used extensively throughout the interior, including on the floors and walls, as well as on windows and furniture. Pine is a popular choice, and it is frequently left untreated and unpainted in order to allow the grain of the wood to take center stage.

Swiss home interior is characterized by the presence of wood furniture such as tabletops, cabinets, armoires, chairs, and benches. You can also use a wooden chest to store personal belongings or extra linen in your Tagaytay luxury condominium, incorporating the chest as a functional storage piece as well as a decorative feature in your home.

A Fireplace is a Must

Although a fireplace is not common in a tropical country, you can include one in your luxury house and lot in Tagaytay if you so choose. With a rustic free-standing metal fireplace or wood-burning stove, you can keep yourself and your Crosswinds home warm all winter.

To keep the area safe from flames, keep the design as simple as possible and use brick or terracotta to tile the immediate area.

Rugs, Blankets, and Natural Textiles

Rugs, blankets, and throws help to make a space more comfortable, both physically and visually. Thick rugs and carpets are used to soften hard wooden floors, allowing your feet to sink right into them. To create a cozy cabin atmosphere in your Tagaytay condo, casually drape a heavy blanket over the sofa in your living room.

Experiment with different textures such as linen, wool, crochet, and cotton to see which ones work best for you. Warm colors, such as deep reds, browns, and oranges, can be used to visually increase the amount of warmth in a room.

Furniture With a Lot of Ornamental Detail

Furnishings should have a grand, solid, and sturdy appearance to them. In order to complete the look, include a leather couch or a pair of leather high-backed chairs in the interior design of your Swiss home. Wood furniture with a lot of carving detail will also work well with this design theme because it will blend in seamlessly with it.

Choose White or Light Blue Paint

While the majority of wooden walls in a Swiss home interior are left natural, some homeowners choose to paint them in order to visually break up the abundance of wooden elements. White is a traditional choice for wall color, but if you want to add a splash of color, you can also paint the walls a light blue color that will remind you of clear skies in the Swiss Alps.

Add a Gable Roof and Exposed Beams

Nothing quite like a gable roof to make a luxury home feel like a luxury chalet quite like a luxury home. It is possible to achieve a cocooning effect with this ceiling detail, which makes use of exposed wooden beams on your ceiling. This design choice once again draws attention to the strength and durability of wood.

Wildlife and Nature-Inspired Decor

A common feature of Swiss chalets is the use of animal skin rugs and animal-head mantle pieces. With the help of these types of decor pieces, you can transform your Tagaytay luxury condominium into a Swiss haven. If you don’t want to use actual animal decor items, you can incorporate them into your design through figurines, paintings, or tapestry patterns.

Opt for Earthenware and Heavy Porcelain

In a Swiss-style home, there is a strong emphasis on using durable materials that can withstand heavy use. This includes everything from dining ware to kitchenware. Use earthenware plates, glasses, and mugs that are rustic in appearance. If they are handcrafted or made to order, the feeling of exclusivity is enhanced even further. In addition, heavy porcelain is preferred over fine porcelain or dainty China.

Own Your Dream Swiss Home at Crosswinds Tagaytay

Living in luxury in Switzerland does not necessitate relocation to another country. Crosswinds is an exclusive Swiss-themed luxury community in the heart of Tagaytay that provides residents with the opportunity to live the life of their dreams in a luxurious environment.

In this day and age wherein digital media is taking over the minds of a lot of people, there is a special class of people who still read the newspaper: the rich. You might think that affluent people have advanced gadgets for everything that they do because they can very well afford them.

You will be surprised to know, though, that, unlike most people, they prefer the newsprint to the screen when it comes to reading the news.

This makes sense because the newspaper has preserved a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that is difficult to obtain elsewhere. Newspaper is an easy way to satisfy one’s curiosity while reading the news allows you to be informed of what is going on in the world and how the government is responding to any crises by reminding readers about the events of even decades back.

For the affluent, the newspaper never went out of style. | Photo from Masterfile

This brings the question — why? Reading news and updates can be done easier using a mobile phone, which is handy and portable. Mobile phones also offer different ways to enjoy the news: you can read it, listen to it, or watch it. Who needs television and a newspaper subscription, when your smartphone can do things better?

Well, the rich do not think so. Turn something as mundane as reading the newspaper into a world-class experience with Brittany living. Luxury houses in the Philippines can make you feel rich while you’re having coffee with the morning paper. Visit the Brittany Corporation website for some luxury real estate and house and lot for sale.

No Distractions

You can get distracted when you are doing literally anything on your mobile device. You may be familiar with the scenario, wherein you opened your phone to search for something, but then without noticing it, you got distracted by a notification, a message, or an app that you open every now and then out of habit.

Aside from making you use up more of your precious time, using your phone can even make you forget why you opened it in the first place. This is the first reason rich people still read the newspaper. By reading on paper, chances of getting distracted are slim, because it’s news and quality content anywhere you look.

Focus on the important and ignore the rest. | Photo by Roman Kraft via Unsplash

Whereas your phone offers you options on what to do, the newspaper offers you choices on which news to read first. You can choose politics, entertainment, some rich people reads, but never play a game or respond to a message.

Rich people would know what it is like to achieve a goal, and all the things that are worth it require focus. They display such values whenever they choose to read on paper rather than on screen.

They also have no need to flaunt their new mobile phones, unlike people who are just trying to look rich, so reading the newspaper is more their style. This way, they get more information in less time.

Experience little to no distractions with Brittany living. Check out the Brittany Corporation website for some exclusive and world-class luxury real estate. Scroll through some luxury houses in the Philippines and houses and lots for sale.

Always a Reliable Source

The age of digital media paved the way for a lot of developments, but also for fake news, sadly. Scrolling on your social media profiles, it can be hard to discern what is real from what is fake. Reading the newspaper eliminates this problem because everything in it underwent rigorous checking and has to be true.

Avoid fake news by sticking with the newspaper. | Photo from Social Simulator

Rich people are likely to be educated, so they would know which sources to trust. Instead of watching spliced and manipulated videos, looking at edited pictures, or relying on memes for vital information, they only trust the best sources for their daily dose of news and rich people reads. Important people do not waste time with sources that are just hard to trust, so instead of getting their news elsewhere, the newspaper is their go-to for daily updates.

Exclusive Content

The internet boasts about having a lot of information in it readily available for anyone who is willing to venture into it. While this is mostly true, newspapers still have an edge over digital sources, because there are contents like some rich people read that one can only see in the newspaper.

And even if these things are available on the internet, chances are you will not really look them up. The newspaper presents these things to you without you having to ask for them, reminding you of the important things

Some of the contents that are better consumed, or in some cases can only be consumed, in the newspaper are the business section, classified ads, obituaries, the funny section, and crossword puzzles, among others.

The business section, for example, is one of the rich people reads that the newspaper can offer. There are articles on the internet about business updates, yes, but you will not see these usually unless you look them up specifically.

Business news does not normally trend on social media, so you will also be having a hard time seeing them just by scrolling down through your online feed.

Stay sharp with crossword puzzles. | Photo from Getty Images

The crossword puzzle is also an important part of the newspaper because it can keep you smart and entertained, as you fill those boxes day by day. Martha Stewart is known to answer crossword puzzles in the newspaper every day, so there really is no wonder how she manages to stay sharp after all these years.

The editorial also offers solid and informed opinions about current events. With the boom of social media, literally, anyone can express his opinion online, and while this is good, it also has its downsides. Not everybody who expresses his view is a subject matter expert, and people who do not know better may fall for words that are not even based on facts.

By reading the editorial, you can be sure that it is an informed opinion that you are reading. It also does not hurt that editorial cartoonists have managed to stay creative through the years, providing readers with insightful caricatures.

Speaking of exclusive, check out Brittany Corporation for their world-class house and lot for sale and luxury real estate. Luxury houses in the Philippines can make you experience Brittany living like no other.

Conclusion

From avoiding fake news to getting some rich people to read, like the business section and new luxury Brittany properties, there are a lot of reasons to keep on reading one of the most reliable sources of information in the world, the newspaper. Nothing says rich better than a person taking the time in his day to just sit down and read the morning paper.

While most people would go with popular online sources and videos with a lot of views, you can go against the flow this 2022 and stick with the old-fashioned way that still works now. Reading the newspaper is definitely a lifestyle that pays off and rewards the reader.

Moving out of a new home is an extremely exciting experience. However, it can be a bit overwhelming at the same time, particularly if you have a large number of items to bring with you that are both important and sentimental in nature.

However, in between the excitement of finally being able to move into your new home and the trepidation of having to leave your familiar surroundings, there is a list of tasks that must be completed in order to make your move as successful as possible.

What to Do Now That You’ve Found Your Dream Luxury Home?

So, if you’ve found the house of your dreams, the next step is likely to alter the course of your life forever. At some point in life, everyone must go through the process of moving out. The challenge of moving into a luxury home must first be overcome before embarking on this new and exciting life adventure can begin.

This process, which includes everything from packing your belongings to relocating them to your new luxury home, can be time-consuming and complicated.

If you plan to relocate in 2022, you should read up on these luxury home moving tips. They will help you ditch the apprehension, embrace the excitement, and create a new comfort zone that’s uniquely yours in a luxurious setting.

Get rid of unused and unnecessary items

Luxury home relocation necessitates meticulous packing. It’s important to remember to pack all of your belongings into special moving crates, boxes, and bags that are the appropriate size. Try to get rid of unused and unnecessary items as much as possible to make the process easier on yourself.

As a result, you will have fewer things to pack, less time to move, fewer items to unload, and fewer items to organize. It is more important to remember, however, that you will begin your new life in your dream home with a completely blank slate.

Call the utility company

Inform the utility company that you are going to move out. Make sure to cancel your utilities at the old place and set them up at your new home.

It takes just a few phone calls so better do it ahead of time, so you won’t have to spend time in search of your utilities. When you get busy (and excited) with your relocation, you may forget about this extremely important task.

Create a moving folder

Gather all important addresses, contracts, and documents in a moving folder. It is recommended to make a hard copy rather than a digital one for search and safety in case you lose your digital copy or your file gets corrupted during the relocation. If any issues arise during transit, you will be able to provide all necessary documents, such as payment records, agreements, and so on.

Set your budget

Luxury home moving can be exceedingly expensive. Therefore, if you do not want to worry about price tags on top of everything, you should set a realistic moving budget while in search of your luxury home.

Look for a reputable moving company

If you do not have anyone who can assist you with the relocation, or if you don’t want to take unnecessary risks moving your belongings on your own, you should think about hiring a luxury home moving company. Professional movers can relieve you of the burden of moving during this stressful time, so the extra expense is probably justified.

Furthermore, if you find the right company, you will gain a contact from whom you may hire in the future. Remember, before signing a contract, don’t be afraid to ask questions to ensure you fully understand the terms. You can simply relax as you complete your moving out requirements once you’ve found the right moving company.

Make final arrangements for donations

If you do not want to carry old and bulky home furnishings, old clothes, or other unused items, you can try to arrange for a free donation pick-up with a local charity organization. In this way, you can ask them to pick up some of your belongings, which will save you from hauling everything yourself. This will allow you more time to focus on your move.

Choose the best moving day

Hire professional movers ahead of time to ensure you have enough time to plan your move. When deciding on a potential moving date, try to find the most convenient time of the month to schedule a booking.

Please remember that most moving companies are extremely busy on weekends, so you may want to consider doing it during the week. You can avoid the weekend chaos this wa

Relax and keep calm

Moving to your dream home may be an extremely challenging and weird experience. Constant packing and lifting of your home items may cause flying dust, which can eventually lead to sneezing, and coughing. Being worried and nervous (and excited) may set you on edge. It is important to keep calm to make the whole experience easier and manageable for you and everyone around.

These luxury home moving tips will help you make your relocation much easier. After all, let’s remember that moving to your dream home should be an exciting time!

In conceptualizing and designing a home, there are a lot of great inspirations that one can follow to come up with a pleasing interior. One may be already bored with the usual things that one can see in a typical Filipino home, so experimenting with different cultural designs can be a great way to spice up a home. This can also help the owner explore her personality more, as people may have diverse dreams about their own homes that they have yet to actualize.

One great choice would be the Italian home interior. You may have watched a movie or scrolled through some interior design pictures, and noticed how Italian homes look great without trying really hard. An Italian home interior, when done right, would be pleasing in any home, looking homely and sophisticated at the same time. There are some trademarks when it comes to Italian home interior design, and that is what this article is going to be about.

Are you looking for the perfect address for your Italian home-to-be? Consider Portofino Alabang. It is an exclusive community in Vista Alabang, and you can’t get closer to Italy in the Philippines than Alabang. Get your luxury house and lot in Metro Manila Alabang Philippines from Brittany Corporation.

What Defines Italian Home Interior Design?

Warm Colors

Using warm colors instead of just the usual neutral ones is definitely one of the things that you can learn from the Italians. Make the common rooms in your house look like they are in the perfect temperature all the time, with the right colors.

Italians are not afraid of showing vivid colors in their rooms, which is why their houses are movie-worthy. Such houses take me back to movies like Call Me By Your Name and make me want to have a ripe peach.

This is also one great way to look artsy and sophisticated without being too much. Chances are, there are some rooms in your home that can make do with a new color, so do not hesitate and get a can of paint that you like. Brushstroke by brushstroke, you can achieve that Italian home interior look for your home.

Mezzanines

One thing that will surely add a wow factor to one’s home would be mezzanines. Italian houses usually have high ceilings, so there should be more than enough space for these. This is one of the things that will make the space look bigger and smartly designed.

A sense of elevation does a lot to enhance an experience, especially simple ones. Imagine going up a short flight of steps and then coming out to a balcony to have some tea. Picture windows also make great additions to mezzanines. Seeing a picturesque view from an elevated standpoint can just make one want to read a book or have some wine.

It is worth mentioning that living in Portofino Alabang will grant you access to some of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Vista Alabang, which means you will be able to enjoy some truly breathtaking views. Brittany Corporation can just provide you with your dream luxury house and lot in Metro Manila.

A Little Bit of French

It is possible to find elements of Italian home interior design that are similar to those of French home interior design. Italian rooms are more colorful and homey than those in France, but one major difference between the two countries is that both the French and the Italians prefer minimalist designs.

Less is truly more in this case. They are able to create inviting and sophisticated spaces despite the fact that they do not use many decorative items. Because of its appeal, minimalism has gained popularity throughout the world.

Another thing that the two have in common is their love of throwback pieces, which they incorporate into their homes by bringing in vintage furniture and decorations for a classic look. In the Italian and French living rooms, things like vintage chandeliers, full-length mirrors with curved edges, and old-school lamps have a special place in their hearts. As a result, they have some of the most beautiful home interiors in the world, as a result of their willingness to experiment with different styles.

A Fancy Garden

One great way to complement a great Italian home interior is to have a beautiful garden, especially one that has some flowers and fruit-bearing trees. This is not some cherry on top, but rather, it is something that should be present in a good Italian home. Make your house classier and more inviting to your guests by setting up a garden table and some chairs for tea in the afternoon.

It would be hard to mimic whatever plants Italians actually do plant in their gardens, because of the different climate in this region, so one should make do with the local species of plants. There is also no need to have an Italian Renaissance garden, complete with a maze of hedges and birdbaths, but nothing is stopping you if you do have the space in your Alabang villa.

Portofino Alabang in Vista Alabang is sure to have the prettiest Italian houses with great interiors and enough space for your colorful garden. There is a luxury house and lot in Metro Manila waiting for you and your family, so check out Brittany Corporation and their beautiful luxury homes for sale in Alabang Philippines.

Conclusion

Even purchasing the most expensive mansion will not ensure that you have a home that is enjoyable to live in. The interior of the house should be tastefully decorated, and Italian homes are excellent sources of inspiration in this regard. With an Italian home interior, you should strive for simplicity, warmth, and refinement.
