Interior
design in the Philippines have been long influenced by the colonization of Spaniards
and also of the Americans. Filipino furniture designs and Filipino inspired
interiors may not be as popular but it does truly represent how rich and unique
it can be. During the western occupations in the islands, influences from Europe
and Americas can still be seen in different places in the country. In the early
1500s, settlement of the Spanish had then been the start of change in the
native’s lives. Bringing in the western culture, natives have adopted and made their
own versions of furniture using the country’s resources like dark timber finish
and dried up plant fibres, bamboo and much more.
The
interiors wall finishes is usually just a light natural finish, could be beige,
or a warmer white, to make the dark wood colour of the furniture pop out in the
space and also to have that minimal look as with the intricate designs might
clutter the interior.
