🌿 Why Japan Home Center? 

Japan Home Center has long been known for its practical, minimalist, and surprisingly chic home finds. From cleaning tools to storage hacks, the store is a goldmine for anyone living in micro spaces like condos, tiny apartments, or urban homes here in the Philippines. But what caught my eye on this trip was their growing selection of decorative pots and vases that are perfect for indoor plant lovers and DIY home decorators.

🛍️ My Top Budget-Friendly Finds

Here’s a peek at my top picks from this haul:

1. Ceramic Mini Vases (₱88–₱188)

Perfect for coffee tables, shelves, or window sills—these muted-tone ceramic vases add a soft touch to any corner of your home. I paired mine with dried eucalyptus stems for a clean, Scandinavian vibe.

2. Textured Clay Pots (₱108–₱198)

Great for succulents or snake plants, these clay pots come in matte finishes and geometric textures that look far more expensive than they are. Perfect for minimalist and boho-themed homes.

3. Plastic Pots with Built-in Saucers (₱48–₱98)

Don’t underestimate plastic! These lightweight options are ideal for hanging plants or balcony gardening. They’re also easier to clean and maintain—especially for beginners.

4. Decorative Glass Vases (₱128–₱228)

I couldn’t leave without picking up a few clear glass vases, which I use for propagation. They're great for showcasing plant roots or using as centerpieces for cut flowers.

💡 Decorating Tips for Small Spaces

Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. 

Here are a few PlanTito-approved tips:

• Mix heights and textures: Combine ceramic, glass, and clay to add dimension.
• Use vertical space: Hanging pots or wall-mounted shelves can help maximize limited floor area.
• Keep it coordinated: Pick a neutral or earthy color palette for a cohesive look.
• Add personality: Customize with pebbles, wood trays, or macrame pot holders

📍Where to Shop

Most Japan Home Center branches carry these display pots and vases, but inventory varies—so make sure to check out different branches or visit their pop-up stalls in major malls. Prices range from ₱48 to ₱228, making it one of the most affordable places for home décor and indoor gardening needs.
