BUT AFFORD 1

Style shouldn’t cost that much

Written by Patricia Herbolario

If you feel like your space needs an update but have no time, money,
or patience to go through a renovation, accessorizing might be what 2
you need. If you want the best bang for your buck and are up for a little
adventure, visit Dapitan Arcade in Quezon City. It’s a rabbit hole of budget-
friendly home accessories. Many interior designers will confess that it
is one of their go-tos for cheap yet stylish accessories. There’s suppliers
for very part of your home, from trendy kitchen ceramics to interesting
cabinet fillers. Some pieces are warehouse rejects from big brands abroad,
while others are made by local export-quality suppliers. We’re sure you 3
will find something worth your moolah!
Shopping in Dapitan? Here’s some top-shelf tips:
Bring an ecobag, say no to plastics | Scout the whole arcade before you
buy, some supply the same item but at a cheaper price | Haggle! While
the prices are already super cheap, it’s part of the fun | Items also change 4
per season. Yes, they have super cheap holiday decors | Bring a face towel
because you will sweat, there’s no air-conditioning | There is street parking
but we recommend just booking a car
