Did somebody say #homegoals? We've gathered together Singapore's all stars of furniture and decor – all in one list!
IKEA, we love you, but there’s only so many BILLY bookcases and POÄNG chairs a home can have. Time to up your furniture game, because we’ve let you in on Singapore’s all-stars of furniture and home accessories – all in one list!
Journey East
It may have started as a unique vintage and retro furniture store (each one-of-a-kind and handpicked, mind you) but Journey East (pictured top) has gone above and beyond its initial rep. This Honeycombers fave doesn’t just curate eco-friendly reclaimed teak wood furniture from around the world; it also sources retro and vintage furniture, industrial-style iron and wood furnishings as well as designer furniture home decor. We can’t stop raving about our cool coffee tables and refurbed art deco chairs we snapped up from the showroom. Come visit us at Honeycombers HQ for a peek!
Journey East, #03-02, Tan Boon Liat Building, 315 Outram Road, Singapore 169704, p. 6473 1693.
Layard Interiors
We’re seriously swooning over this new brand and founder Anna Layard’s impeccable style. Layard Interiors’ rattan chairs, coffee tables and lounges are making all our tropical fantasies come true – the collection, which extends to beautiful decorative items from bamboo trays to capiz shell bowls and textiles, is handmade by artisans in Java and the pricing is incredibly tempting (napkins are $5 and for that fab chair you see above is $375). This is one of the most unique and exciting sources of tropical style in town, we say. Follow Layard Interiors on Facebook to shop online and get news on the next open house.

Originals
Owner Geri Murphy has great taste – evidenced by Originals’ range of furniture, which feature natural teak wood, vintage Indian and Indonesian pieces remodelled into stunning, contemporary designs. You can also take your pick of soft furnishings from Korla and handpicked accessories from all over Europe and Asia.
Originals, 896 Dunearn Road, #02-03, Sime Darby Centre, Singapore 589472, p. 6471 9918.
Grey and Sanders
If you’re a serial furniture browser online and in real life, add Grey and Sanders to your list. The online store is excellent, with a catalogue that allows you to take a peek at its range of chairs, tables and storage designs from several angles. But we can’t resist seeing a good collection in the flesh, especially when there’s luscious old-growth wood and luxe Italian leather involved. Another reason to visit the showroom in the famous Tan Boon Liat building? Grey and Sanders’ collection of solid wood slabs that you can choose from for a statement dining table that’s all yours: there is, after all, an in-house workshop here, and anything can be customised. Impressive!
Grey and Sanders; #06-02, 315 Outram Rd, Tan Boon Liat Building, Singapore 169074
Elements Concept
Add a tropical touch to your home with furniture brand Elements Concept. With careful attention to quality and detail, it prides itself on affordable, one-of-a-kind pieces handmade in their own workshop.
