6 Places To Furniture Shop In Singapore
No home is complete without comfortable and quality furniture. Find out how to get the best bang for your buck when furniture shopping on the Hmlet blog.
Do most of us resonate coming home to a comfortable and cozy house after a long day at work? For most, the answer would most likely be a resounding ‘yes’. More than adding to the aesthetics or complementing the overarching theme of our homes, having furniture also supports our day-to-day activities, like having meals at the dining table or relaxing on your sofa with a book.
Given the countless number of furniture stores across the island, knowing where to start is the key. We spoke to a few of our colleagues (who have just gotten keys to their HDB BTO and started renovation), and here are six of their top picks to get you started.
