While IKEA may be the go-to place for affordable furniture, it can be a tad predictable and commonplace. If you want interiors that are a little different from what you see at your friends’ and family’s homes, here are a few more options.
1. JotterGoods

Homeowners with a taste for Scandinavian-style furnishings will appreciate JotterGood’s offerings of minimalist and functional pieces.
The products are designed by local design consultancy A Balcony and feature a collection of streamlined furniture that includes sofas, tables, lighting, beds and shelving. Think of it as a polished alternative to IKEA.
2. Art From Junk

If you like furniture that celebrate Singapore’s heritage but don’t want to fork out tonnes of money on oriental antiques, you will love Art From Junk located at Nu Artists Gallery in Kandahar Street.
Tables, chairs, credenzas and cabinets have been hand-painted with designs such as retro patterns and vintage motifs unique to Southeast Asia. With prices that do not exceed $1,500 it’s an affordable way to own a piece of art.
3. CB2

At first glance, Cellini may seem expensive thanks to beautiful Italian-style designs and the use of quality materials.
But this furniture manufacturer offers attractive packages that bundle sofa sets, dining sets, bedframes and mattresses priced from $3,000, making it an affordable and convenient way to buy complementary pieces for your home.
What’s more, Cellini offers a wide array of styles, from modern classic to contemporary to satisfy homeowners with different preferences.

If you enjoy the thrill of repurposing and restoring your own vintage furniture while scoring great deals at the same time, make your way to Junkie’s Corner along Turf Club Road. This second-hand store is a warehouse of pre-loved furniture and home décor items.
