MANILA, Philippines - A hideaway is a magical place where one can escape from the worries and troubles of the world and offer timely rest for the tired, weary and confused. More than providing a refuge, a hideaway multiplies joy by being the ideal location for special events and celebrations with loved ones or quiet and peaceful moments by your lonesome.
MyHome features the many benefits of hideaway homes in its April 2011 issue. Many hideaway homes are dressed in a tropical-resort theme in mind to mimic the relaxing sights and sounds of the sun, sand and surf. Achieve the same look for a fraction of the cost with chic but functional accessories such as the woven baskets featured in the Multiple Choice section.
Enlighten yourself on how to take the tropical look to another level with natural stone finishes perfect for both interiors and landscape in Design 101 and smart and practical suggestions on color, textures and patterns that are reminiscent of a relaxing summer vacation with Style Guide.
Take your social gatherings outdoors by setting up an outdoor grill and kitchen with handy tips from our resident expert in Kitchen Ideas. Another thing you can take outside is a luxurious but still private outdoor bath, as discussed in the Bath Basics section. No hideaway is complete without a lush garden. Choose the perfect plants with the handy feng shui guide on the plants to choose for the garden to invite luck and prosperity, and those to avoid because they bring misfortune and tragedy.
The April 2011 issue of MyHome is available at newsstands and bookstores nationwide. MyHome is a prestige publication of Mega Publishing Group. For more information, visit www.myhomemag.com.
