Spending hours dragging the kids from store to store looking for furniture (especially when you’ve just settled into a new city or home) is enough to send any well-mannered mama into a bit of a spin! With so many furniture stores around, and with many of them tucked away in questionable looking warehouses, the hardest part is figuring out which stores can offer you the best designs, quality and prices that best suit your home and budget.

Never fear mama! We’re here to help! We spoke to the lovely, Renée Lodens from Travelshopa to bring you our top 10 must-see furniture stores in Singapore. We suggest you set aside a weekend (or two) to visit them all (trust us, you won’t be disappointed) and bring the kiddos too – furniture shopping can be fun!

Having sourced Chinese antiques (by a team based in China no less) for over 10 years; China Collection is a trusted source of antique furniture and interior accessories. You might just find some contemporary pieces here as well, since their personal philosophy is to meet the needs of individual voices – and at great value for money, it won’t break the bank either mama.
