We were going about our usual day, juggling floor plans, finalising design boards, and responding to client emails, when the news hit our inbox.
Gal at Home Design Studio had once again been awarded Best Online Interior Design Services Provider – Philippines by LUXlife Magazine’s Home & Garden Awards 2025.
But that wasn’t all.
This time, we were also recognised with the Client Service Excellence Award 2025—an unexpected nod that honestly made us sit back and breathe it all in.
We’ve always believed online interior design could feel human
When we started offering online interior design services, we wanted to make things more efficient or more affordable (because let’s face it, those are definitely perks). But it was also about giving people an easier, less overwhelming way to create homes they actually love. I’ve been there myself, before I became a design professional. I know how hard and overwhelming it feels to be faced with all these decisions, not knowing where to go, what to do…when all I wanted was to create a home, a space that I loved and meant so much to me and the people I lived with.
So I created our eDesign services because I wanted our clients to feel supported, whether they were furnishing a tiny condo, planning a renovation from abroad, or trying to make sense of conflicting Pinterest boards.
So every design package, every layout suggestion, every call we do—it’s all part of creating a process that feels like someone’s really listening. Because we are.
What these awards mean (and what they don’t)
We’ll be honest: the design award felt amazing. It’s the second time we’ve received it, and we’re incredibly grateful that our work continues to be recognised.
But the Client Service Excellence award? That one made our hearts swell a little. (In the same way that reading our organic client testimonials makes us tear up a lot!)
Because great design means nothing if the experience of getting there is stressful or confusing or cold. And this award tells us that how we work matters just as much as the work we do.
Thank you for letting us into your homes (and screens)
Whether you’re a client, a team member, or someone who’s just been quietly following our work—thank you.
This win is as much yours as it is ours. And we’re even more excited to keep creating spaces that feel like home, wherever in the world you are.
