SM Home Makati Flagship Relaunch: A New Chapter for the Filipino Home
MAKATI CITY, MAY 2026: The invitation was simple: come back, look again, find what home can be. On May 7, 2026, SM Home made good on that promise — opening the doors of its fully redesigned SM Makati flagship to guests, media, brand partners, and the Filipino homemakers it has served for decades.
The event marked the public debut of the Rediscover SM Home brand repositioning: the most comprehensive transformation in the retailer’s history, and the clearest statement yet of where SM Home is headed.
A Store Built Around Real Life
Guests who walked through the doors of the renewed SM Home Makati encountered something that felt immediately different. The store, redesigned around eight curated zones — Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Storage Solutions, Laundry & Cleaning, and Gift Registry — was built not around product categories but around the moments that define Filipino home life. The result was a retail floor that felt less like a department store and more like a home in progress: considered, livable, and genuinely aspirational.
SM Home has always carried the brands Filipino homemakers trust — the names that have long stocked their kitchens, furnished their bedrooms, and held their households together. The Makati relaunch keeps that foundation intact, and raises the bar further with a curated new tier of home brands. Breville and Hario anchored the morning ritual — espresso machines, filter brewers, the quiet pleasure of an intentional cup. Don Bellini and Bonna brought the art of the table, with tableware designed for both weeknight dinners and the occasions that deserve more. KitchenAid took its place in the working kitchen. Philippine Wine Merchants completed the home entertaining story. Serta anchored the bedroom with the conviction that sleep quality is the foundation of everything else a home is supposed to give you. HiEssence brought the quieter dimension of sanctuary — upscale scent diffusers that turn a room into a mood, the kind of sensory detail that separates a house from a home. A gallery of contemporary Filipino art was woven throughout the Living Room zone — a deliberate curatorial statement that great local art belongs in Filipino homes, not just in galleries.
n the Bedroom zone, SM Home introduced one of the relaunch’s most distinctive original activations: the Linen Touch Bar. Designed and curated by SM Home itself, the Touch Bar brings together samples of every fabric type and thread count carried in the store into a single tactile vignette — allowing shoppers to feel the difference between materials before they buy, and empowering them to make more informed, more intentional choices for their homes. It is brand-agnostic by design, because the goal is not to sell a specific product. The goal is to help Filipinos understand what they are choosing — and why it matters.
Each activation reinforced the same belief at the heart of the entire repositioning: that Filipino homes deserve sharper choices, carefully made.
The Moment the Brand Has Been Building Toward
At the heart of the relaunch was a declaration from Janice T. Yang, Business Unit Head of SM Home:
“We are rebuilding SM Home, starting with Makati, because Filipinos deserve a home store that is built for real life. Rediscover SM Home is our invitation: come back, look again, and find what home can be.”
— Janice T. Yang, Business Unit Head, SM Home
The Beginning of a National Story
The SM Home Makati flagship relaunch is not the end of the story — it is the opening chapter. SM Home Aura and SM Home Megamall have already been redesigned under the same brand framework. Further branches across the SM Home network of 78 locations nationwide will follow throughout 2026 and beyond.
The Rediscover SM Home campaign — anchored by the tagline For All Things Home — continues across all SM Home channels and branches. The flagship has opened. The invitation stands.
Rediscover SM Home.
