Rooms by Sol Luminaire Review: New blood amongst traditional Balestier lighting shops

Balestier has long been a goto destination for Singaporean homeowners in search of quality lighting, bathroom fittings, tiles, and other essential home fixtures. For decades, this iconic neighbourhood has served as an FF&E (furnishings, fixtures, and equipment) hub, brimming with stores offering every type of home appliance and decor imaginable.

But while Balestier has the goods, the experience has often been more functional than inspiring — until now.

Rooms by Sol Luminaire Balestier

Rooms by Sol Luminaire is a new concept store that transforms the traditional Balestier shopping experience. Bringing together a curated selection of trusted brands, or Roomies, each roomie is a leader in their field, bringing unique expertise to this design focused space.

Here, homeowners will be able to see, touch and try out products from brands like Ornate+ (innovative glass bricks and foam ceramics for wall decor), Futurahaus (smart home automation), Oculus Collective (sliding glass doors), KonceptKreation (stylish industrial hardware and fittings for kitchens and wardrobes), Spin (customisable ceiling fans for low ceilings), Noble Surfaces (sustainable, lime-based paints and textured finishes), Caerus Electric (stylish rotary switches from Barcelona, fully compatible with AEON lighting solutions) and Hansgrohe (innovative bathroom and kitchen fittings under their hansgrohe and AXOR brands).

This collection of Roomies was meticulously selected for their alignment with Rooms by Sol Luminaire’s values of quality, innovation, and design-focused offerings.

The 4,900 sq ft showroom is designed to encourage interaction and exploration. Each section flows seamlessly into the next, guiding visitors through semi-open spaces where each Roomie’s products are showcased in thoughtfully lit displays.

Sol Luminaire’s precise lighting ensures that every detail is visible, allowing homeowners to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of each piece.

The showroom also features select booths dedicated to Sol Luminaire’s latest collections, including standout decorative lamps like the Pulp and Magnetite series, which are prominently showcased across the space.

Rooms by Sol Luminaire offers a fresh, forward thinking take on Balestier’s FF&E scene. With a focus on transparency, curated quality, and an immersive experience, this concept store brings a new level of style and convenience to the neighbourhood.

Rooms by Sol Luminaire is located at Balestier Plaza, 400 Balestier Rd.
