Furniture Stores in Singapore | Affordable Furniture for Expats

Budgeting | Lifestyle

If you’re a new homeowner, your “I can’t wait to decorate my house” joy undoubtedly faded the moment you saw the prices of sofas and dining tables. Fortunately, there are a plethora of places (and the internet) in Singapore to shop for low-cost furniture. In this blog, we tell you about affordable furniture stores in Singapore.

You should strive to shop at online retailers with appropriate return policies (many allow 100-day no-questions-asked returns). That way, if your furniture turns out to be like your date (i.e. “not true to picture”), you can send it back. Some even have showrooms where you may request fabric swatches.

Affordable Furniture Stores in Singapore

Castlery

Castlery is their own brand, but they collaborate with award-winning designers to make their furniture current, trendy, and affordable. While the prices aren’t dirt cheap, it’s undeniably good value. The quality is remarkable for the low price, according to online reviews on numerous platforms.

Furniture SG’s

The majority of Furniture Sg’s furniture designs are unremarkable. They do, however, have an enormous selection for homeowners to choose from. So, if you look hard enough, you might be able to locate hidden gems. Their prices, on the other hand, are quite low. Here you can furnish your entire home for less than $1,500 – with a few clicks. For example, you can get a faux leather sofa for $88, a queen bed frame for $110, and a 4-piece dining set for $188. These are all low-quality items, as expected for the price, but they do the job (and are great for use until you can afford that atas sofa).

Furniture Sg does not charge for delivery or installation. However, previous consumers have left online reviews complaining about hidden fees when they attempted to return or exchange the goods. There are no showrooms, and the website’s explanations are minimal, so keep your expectations in check.

Furniture Mart

Browsing Furniture Mart’s website reminds me of Taobao shopping. Low pricing and a plethora of low-resolution stock pictures. Furniture Mart’s assortment, like that of Furniture Sg, is not fancy, and the e-store is more akin to an online furniture warehouse. They also provide free shipping and a price-match promise. The pricing range is equivalent to Furniture Sg, thus you can anticipate a similar level of quality. Experiment at your own risk!

Novena

Novena has been in business for 35 years, making it one of the oldest and most well-known bargain furniture retailers. Their prices are not the most affordable, but if you look around their website (or any of the two showrooms in Balestier and Sungei Kadut), you might find something for a steal. Novena’s pieces, in my opinion, are slightly old and not as trendy as others on this list.

However, there is one thing to keep in mind: the web evaluations for their service appear to be quite negative. Previous consumers appear to have encountered hard-selling at physical stores, as well as difficulty in exchanging their goods. 

Comfort Design Furniture

Comfort Design Furniture, as their name suggests, sells “more than tables and chairs.” They have a nice selection of furniture, including shelves, racks, and even customized sofas. Their designer furniture copies, however, are possibly their most well-known product. Although they claim to have a wide range of designs, I found that the majority of the goods are Scandinavian-inspired, with light-colored wood and clean lines.

During promotions, you may get beautiful dining tables for less than $300 and 3-seater imitation leather sofas for more than $600. For orders under $500, delivery is $30. You can also self-collect at their Eunos office if you choose.
