10 Tampines Furniture Shops: Furniture Capital of Singapore

For some reason, the east side of Singapore tends to have a better reputation than the west side as it feels less busy and more scenic. That’s one of the reasons why Tampines is such a popular residential town - with lots of popular Tampines furniture shops.

With a population of over 259,000, it is one of Singapore’s most populous (read: crowded) planning areas, with about 5% of the population living there. It’s also one of the most affordable mature estates in Singapore. With numerous BTO launches taking place in Tampines in recent years, the area has seen no shortage of property transactions, with thousands of people coming and going each year.

Tampines has also become a hotspot for people looking to buy furniture in the east.  Other than the ubiquitous IKEA Tampines, the area has become a wonderland of other furniture shops and furniture marts. Here are 10 furniture shops where you can get your dream home kitted out.

Furniture Shops in Tampines (Summary Table)

*Information accurate as of time of writing

IKEA Tampines

IKEA Tampines was opened in 2006, 20 years after the first IKEA outlet in Alexandra. This Swedish chain store needs no introduction.

This Tampines furniture haunt is the go-to for cheap and relatively chic furniture for all parts of the home. While they do offer more expensive items, it’s their budget items that are most popular, as they are unbeatable in terms of price. Virtually everyone, myself included, has bought a cheap IKEA bookcase or bed frame as a poor student.

The main disadvantage is that you have to assemble most of the items by yourself. But that’s a small price to pay for bed frames that are as cheap as $50 to $100 and sofas in the $150 to $160 range.

IKEA Tampines is located at 60 Tampines North Drive 2, Singapore 528764.

Courts Megastore Tampines

After IKEA, Courts is probably the most well-known furniture store in Singapore. They specialise not only in furniture but also electronics and gadgets, so if you want to install a new home entertainment system for your bachelor pad, this is the place to visit.

In terms of furniture, Courts’s prices are on the mid-range to high-end side, but in exchange, you’ll get designs with more character to match your desired interior decoration direction, including collaborations with famous designers.

Personally, I would go to Courts mainly to buy electronics and appliances thanks to their wide range of products. The furniture is a bit pricey, so I would probably go elsewhere for cheaper options unless Courts had something that really tied in with my design needs.

Courts Megastore Tampines is located at 50 Tampines North Drive 2, Singapore 528766.

Star Living

Star Living is a long-standing furniture store in Singapore, the brand being active since 1981. They sell a wide range of furniture for all parts of the home.

This is one of the more typical Tampines furniture shops, with classic designs that don’t deviate too much from the norm. If you’re just looking to furnish your home in the most basic way possible and are fine with paying more for quality pieces, this is a decent option.

You’ll find mid-range and higher-end pieces with prices to match. For instance, for a sofa, you can expect to pay about $430 to $3,000, depending on the design and material.

Star Living is located at 18 Tampines Industrial Crescent #01-07/08 Singapore 528605.

Absolute Bedding

Sleep takes centre stage at Absolute Bedding, where you can buy all sorts of mattresses, bed-frames and pillows. They also have a selection of other furniture pieces including dining room and living room furniture, but their real strength is in their range of mattresses from brands such as Dunlopillo and Slumberland.

As is the case with most specialist stores, the products are on the higher end of the scale and pricey. I would shop here if I wanted to invest in a really good mattress. Prices start at around $200 for the cheapest single-sized mattress but can go into the thousands.

Absolute Bedding is located at 1 Tampines North Drive 1 #01-40 T-space Singapore 528559.

They offer a full range of furniture for all areas of the home as well as mattresses. In general, you should budget at least $1,000 for a basic 2-seater sofa.

HomesToLife

Looking for a mid-range to high-end store where you can pick up furniture for most of the spaces in your home? HomesToLife is such a one-stop shop. They even offer free delivery and assembly, as well as a 10-year warranty with an in-house repair and service team.

The starting price for their sofas is about $1,900 in their online store, but you should be able to find a wider range of products in-store. Many of their products are customisable in terms of colour, leather or fabric, configuration and size.

One of their strengths is that they offer a wide range of design styles, so if you’re looking for something very specific this might be a good place to check.

Established in 1984, Novena is a furniture shop offering a selection of customisable, made-to-order sofas and recliners. 

You can choose from a range of colours, configurations and materials, namely fabric, PVC, PU, half-leather or full-leather. Once you’ve selected your parameters and placed your order, your new sofa or recliner will be shipped within 3 to 4 weeks.

If you’re not ready to splash out on custom-made and are looking for a ready-made sofa instead, you can find 2-seater models for $300 or $400 onwards, making this a relatively affordable place to purchase mid-range seating options.

Novena is located at 18 Tampines Industrial Crescent #01-09 Singapore 528605.

You can choose your mattress according to the level of firmness and feel you prefer. Their mattresses are made of latex and/or memory foam, according to your preference.

Viva Nueva

Viva Nueva has been around since 2003, with a full range that includes bathroom and kitchen products, lighting, blinds and curtains.

But their bathroom range is what really stands out, with high-end brands like Grohe, Hatria, and Galassia on offer.

This is where I would shop if were looking to install a luxurious rain shower in a freshly-renovated bathroom.
