In the quieter part of town is Millenia Walk, a two-storey mall designed to resemble a private street. Replete with high ceilings and European-style indoor street lamps, the building houses design-focused lifestyle brands as well – many of which are local.
There are a total of 5 audio stores, 5 furniture and bedding stores, a piano store called Pianoland, and a Harvey Norman flagship superstore that opened in 2015.
The five Millenia Walk audio stores include Absolute Sound, Atlas Sound & Vision Boutique, AV Intelligence (closed Mar 23), and AV One.
The five Millenia Walk furniture stores include:
- Commune (includes Alt.o by Commune, Commune Cafe)
- Grey & Sanders
- Huls Gallery
- Luxury Mattress Collection
- OVAS
Here’s a round-up of furniture stores, and design boutiques that are worth more than a second look.
Commune
Get your fix of wooden furniture here. Being the planet-loving company that it is, Commune ensures the usage of ethically-sourced lumber so you can shop guilt-free. Its flagship outlet also houses its sub-label, Alto Commune, with larger furniture pieces for bigger landed and international homes.

Grey & Sanders
Founded by Wilton and Chase, Grey & Sanders is a homegrown Singaporean furniture store selling Scandinavian-style furniture pieces.
Most house-proud Singaporeans would have paid a visit to the Grey & Sanders store in Tan Boon Liat Building. Best known for their solid wood furniture, Grey & Sanders is big on sustainability and the environment – wood slabs are accredited and sourced from responsible supply chains, and leather parts are processed in environmentally-friendly ways that don’t chemically harm nature.

Opened barely a year ago on May 18, 2022, Huls Gallery is a stunningly serene Japanese furniture store in Millenia Walk. Walk across the main shopping stretch on the ground floor of Millenia Walk, and this exquisitely decorated, perfectly minimalist store will definitely catch your eye.
Huls Gallery is not new to Singapore. Their first flagship store is located at Duxton Hill (opens Monday to Saturday). They stock smaller homeware and accessories such as ceramics, lacquerware, glassware, textiles, bamboo pieces, and wooden pieces.

Luxury Mattress Collection
Looking for uncommon and rarer mattresses in Singapore? Luxury Mattress Collection carries three premium mattress brands: Royal Auping, Treca Interiors Paris, and Vispring.
The Royal Auping is a mattress brand founded in 1888 by a man called Johannes Albertus Auping from the Netherlands. They’re best known for their adjustable mesh bed bases that can be raised and lowered, and slides back and forth for that perfect bedtime reading and tea.
The French bedding brand, Treca Interiors Paris, has been around since 1935 and is best known for their mattresses that are handmade in their two workshops near Château de Chambord, and in Reichshoffen.
Vispring, on the other hand, is a bedding brand founded by an engineer named James Marshall who handmade his wife a coil mattress when she fell ill in 1899 in Canada. Later, in 1901, two men named John Nolon and Frederick James bought over the individual pocket coil spring design and founded Vispring.
Luxury Mattress Collection is located at 9 Raffles Blvd, #02-24/25 Millennia Walk, Singapore 039596
OVAS
Founded in 2001, OVAS is a home decor and art store, short for Originality, Vases, Arts, and Sculptures. Some key pieces include Mango, Acacia or American White Oak solid wood furniture in the likes of solid wood stools, benches, tables, floor lamps – all made by craftsmen in the Southeast Asian region.
OVAS is located at 9 Raffles Blvd 02-46 Millenia Walk, 039596
Harvey Norman
This Harvey Norman Millenia Walk flagship superstore is nothing like the other outlets you see around the island. Besides stocking the usual IT and electrical products, the space also carries a wider range of furniture brands and models.
If you might remember, this massive space that Harvey Norman now occupies used to be Parco Departmental Store. This is a good one-stop-shop for new homeowners who prefer a fuss-free furniture shopping experience. You can negotiate a “group buy” or “bulk buy” discount if you’re getting three or four furniture and appliances from this store at once.
Grafunkt (Moved)
If you’re a lover of clean and contemporary designs, this is the place to be. The 5,500-sqf flagship store of local furniture retailer Grafunkt is a potpourri of international brands. Besides its in-house furniture range, it carries Danish furniture from Hay, Portuguese flatware from Cutipol, and French fragrances from Mad et Len.
Grafunkt used to be located at 9 Raffles Boulevard, #02-34/35/36 Millenia Walk. Singapore 039596. It’s now located at 107 North Bridge Road #04-01 to 06 Funan Mall, 179105.
Howard’s Storage World (Closed)
This is where you can find – you guessed it – storage items of all kinds, all under one roof! But besides that, the Australian home organisation store Howard’s Storage World also sells other cute home accessories such as ice pop makers, and drink dispensers. Everything that you need for organising your home can be found right here.
In 2016, Howard’s Storage World went into voluntary administration and shuttered for good.

Dreamweave and Other Stories (Moved)
The first thing you’ll notice upon entering Dreamweave and Other Stories is the immense collection of rustic rattan tables and chairs – the works of Sika Design. Go further into the lifestyle store to see the Moroccan ceramics, patterned cushions and decorative candles by Tine K Home. A few shelves are dedicated to Campomaggi leather bags as well.
Dreamweave used to be located at #01-34, 9 Raffles Boulevard, Millenia Walk. It is now located at 1 Scotts Rd, #02-24/25, Singapore 228208
The Redundant Shop (Closed)
The Redundant Shop is a treasure trove for all things quirky and slightly unnecessary. Whether its quirky printed t-shirts, colourful accessories, or home scents, there’s surely something for everyone. If you’re going gift-shopping for a special someone, this store is also a definite must-visit!
