This season, Anko invites Filipinos to reimagine their homes with affordable yet stylish décor that celebrates the joy of Christmas.
In collaboration with interior designer Madelaine San Jose, founder of Design Gone Mads, the Australian home and lifestyle brand offers fresh and festive styling ideas that make holiday decorating easy and inspiring.
“Design should always feel within reach. That’s what makes Anko’s Christmas collection special. Every piece opens the door to creativity, inviting you to mix colors, textures, and personal stories that make the season your own,” San Jose said.
During an Anko workshop, San Jose showcased four distinct holiday themes that balance style, personality, and affordability.
Retro candy cane. Joyful and nostalgic, Retro Candy Cane theme evokes the childlike wonder of Christmas with bright reds, soft whites, and playful carnival-inspired patterns. Add charm with candy cane baubles, letter decorations, and the candy and gift garland. Complete the look with a Nutcracker Décor Set for a whimsical touch that radiates fun and love.
Traditional cheer. Timeless and heartwarming, this look brings the magic of home to life with deep reds, velvety textures, and gold accents. Pair Christmas berries in pot and frosted pine in pot with metallic ornaments for an elegant yet cozy setup. A bow basket or a christmas tree makes a perfect centerpiece — proof that some traditions only grow more beautiful with time.
Natural holiday. Soft and serene, Natural Holiday theme celebrates simplicity with neutral tones and organic textures. Create a cozy, nature-inspired space with christmas wreath cushions, bow cushions, and silk striped pillow cases. Accentuate with ceramics and wood finishes for a relaxed, coastal-inspired Christmas.
Seasonal sparkle. For quiet elegance, Seasonal Sparkle theme glows with metallic hues and candlelight. Layer light-up tree cushions, metallic baubles, and Christmas tinsels for a subtle shimmer. Serve drinks in gingerbread, santa, or red bauble drink jars to add a festive flourish.
A season of joy and giving
The holiday spirit came alive as Anko transformed its stores in TriNoma, Glorietta, and Alabang Town Center into festive wonderlands. From Christmas cotton candy and inspiring tablescapes to craft workshops, a calligraphy corner, and a photobooth for personalized keepsakes, every visit turned shopping into a celebration of creativity and cheer.
Rachel Turner, Anko Philippines Country Manager, shared, “There’s a certain magic that only Christmas in the Philippines can bring — homes come alive, families gather, and everyday moments feel brighter. It’s only Anko’s second Christmas in the Philippines, but it’s the season where our mission of making everyday living brighter comes to life most vividly.”
Adding to the festivities was a heartwarming surprise from Anko brand ambassador Anne Curtis-Smith, who led a shopping spree for a chosen nominee at the TriNoma branch. Curtis joined the winner in curating their cart with décor, home essentials, and gift-worthy finds from Anko’s Christmas collection.
The celebration continued with an intimate meet-and-greet with Anko Club members, where Curtis shared her favorite holiday pieces and personal styling tips.
“As a mom, I especially love how Anko’s vibrant, friendly pieces make the season even more magical for kids. It’s about creating a space where both the young and the young-at-heart feel the Christmas cheer,” Curtis shared.
Anko also announced a milestone celebration — its first anniversary in the Philippines, happening on November 7 at Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, Palm Drive Activity Center. The event will feature exclusive activities for Anko Club members.
