The term “sidequestmaxxing” is popping up lately, and if there’s anything Gen. Alpha/Gen. Z love, it’s to attach unnecessary suffixes to words to make it sound cooler. Though, if we’re being honest, a lot of us do love a good sidequest. Taking these small minor trips in the Metro is such a fun way to unwind amidst busy schedules and piles of chores you need to get done inside your boring house.
In fact, maybe giving your boring personal space a makeover may be the mission you need. So here’s the next destination for your sidequestmaxxing trips: a visit to Boysen’s The Color Library! A simple renovation is one way to build a home that feels truly yours, and it’s going to be useful for you to go to places that help you envision what you truly want.
The Color Library: What to See and Get
The Color Library is Boysen’s official concept store. Like a library, it’s filled with books—colorbooks to be exact, which are handy swatches that show exactly how a paint color appears.
The store has rows and rows of over 1,300 colors that you can use to revamp your home. In a mood for a crisp and cozy shade of blue? Pick one out that goes for your home. Prefer a bright warm hue for an accent wall? There’s sure to be one for you. In love with pastels? You may be overwhelmed with your options. Even those seeking a trusty neutral color would enjoy the section of The Color Library that displays the many greys and off-whites of Boysen’s color collection.
Remember, not all colors are the same. Certain colors are better for your home than another like how it would be in conjunction with your existing furniture. You would have to see how the paint color looks on your walls, most especially, at different times of day. This is exactly what you can purchase at The Color Library: paint samples in 200-mL or 1-L containers.
It’s the right amount to test the colors on your home’s walls. Just bring the colorbooks to the counter, and a staff will input codes to a machine and you’ll have your colors mixed in a few minutes. It’s that quick and easy!
The paint samples can be mixed as Boysen Permacoat Latex in a semi-gloss finish, the same as the ones on the colorbooks. Though, you can also get your samples as other paints like Boysen Healthy Home and Virtuoso Silk Touch. These products paint to a satin and matte finish respectively, so if you want to test which sheen you want the best, you can do so.
Getting Inspired at The Color Library
Even if you don’t even get anything, The Color Library is sure to give you home inspirations. The colorbooks are fantastic at letting you think about color combinations.
And if you want to look at swatches of decorative textures, The Color Library has that as well. Take a good look at colorbooks of Boysen DECORe Classic, giving your homes a sophisticated finish. There are also panels of the Konstrukt Lunar Series if you want something edgier yet still elegant.
Take pictures of the colors and textures that draw your attention. You can also bring home brochures about our products and paint collections like those from the Boysen Color Trend collection. Ask our lovely staff for assistance.
The Color Library is located in the MOA Square in SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City. Found near IKEA and other furniture shops, this zone is perfect when you want to complete the look of your dream home.
Next Sidequest: A Boysen Mix & Match Color Station
Okay, you’ve tested the colors you want for your home using paint samples and have decided on which to use. What’s next?
That’s where a Boysen Mix & Match Color Station comes in. The Color Library only mixes paint samples. For batches of paint that’s enough to provide coverage for your walls, you have to visit Boysen’s official mixing station. There’s a color station all over the country. Most major depots should have one.

From One Sidequest to the Next: Designing Your Home
Isn’t creating your dream home kind of like an adventure in itself? Picking out the paint colors, applying it on your walls, and arranging the decor and furnishing—these steps will eventually allow you to materialize a home you would love.
You won’t be able to notice it immediately after your paint job. It would sometimes hit you on a random day, when you would sit down for a cup of coffee. You would notice how much your efforts have paid off.
