Playground to Partners
At Home and Décor PH, we believe that a beautiful home starts with a foundation of hope. While we spend our days curating framed wall art for your spaces, our hearts are always connected to the place where our own story began.
Home and Décor PH didn't start in an office or a studio - it started on the playground. We are Lal and Dee, childhood best friends who grew up side-by-side in humble circumstances. We didn't have much, but we had two things that changed our lives: each other’s friendship and families who believed that education was our only way out of poverty.
Today, we run Home and Décor PH together as an online store supported by our incredible Interior Designer partners, families, and valued customers.
Though our work now keeps us far from home, we have never forgotten where we started. Every year since 2023, we personally fund annual school supply drives for first graders in Altavas, Aklan. With the dedicated help of Lal’s family, who personally distribute these kits on our behalf, we aim to give these children the same "spark" our families gave us - the belief that with a pen, a notebook, and a dream, anything is possible.
Our Annual Tradition: The First Grade Kit
Our Annual Tradition: The First Grade Kit
Personally funded by Lal & Dee and hand-delivered by Lal's family in Altavas, Aklan. While we manage Home and Décor PH from afar, Lal’s family, led by the indispensable Mary, acts as our hands and feet on the ground, ensuring these kits reach the first graders who need them most.
What's inside every kit:
Beyond the frames we build, we are building futures. Every school year since 2023, we personally curate these kits for first graders in Altavas, Aklan. From sturdy backpacks to the pencils, crayons, and paper they need to start their journey, we believe in giving every child the tools to write their own success story.
School Bag to carry their dreams.
Pencils, Sharpener and Eraser for every first word.
Crayons and Glue to add color to their ideas.
Pencil Case, Ruler and Writing Papers to stay organized and ready.
