I know affordable means different things to people – but it definitely doesn’t have to mean cheap furniture of poor quality. It just means finding reasonably priced pieces that last the distance. Here are some great places for finding good quality, affordable furniture in Singapore.
Soul & Tables for affordability and style
Good furniture shouldn’t cost a fortune or need replacing after a few years. Soul & Tables believes affordability is measured by how long your furniture stays with you, not just the price tag. The best value isn’t buying furniture twice, it’s buying furniture you’ll still love years down the road.
Crafted from quality solid wood, the Straight dining table (1.8m, $1,375), Sofia dining chair ($275) and Vintage console ($795) prove that timeless design and lasting craftsmanship don’t have to break the bank. They’re made for everyday living, from weeknight dinners to festive gatherings. Every solid wood piece comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and complimentary lifetime maintenance. Delivery is also complimentary, with no minimum purchase required.

Just Anthony recycled and affordable furniture
Just Anthony is among the most affordable furniture stores in Singapore, and it has regular sales for even better value! Specialising in Chinese antique furniture, the store stocks an impressive selection of both reproduction and antique pieces. You’ll also find oriental-style accessories include lamps and lights, art, wall hangings, screens and room dividers. We always love popping in to see what’s new.
We also love some of their smaller décor items like tissue boxes ($29), table lamps (starting from $150) and the ever-popular ceramic drum stools ($120-$350). They come in a variety of colours and designs, and are ideal décor pieces or as a side table in your living or bedroom.
Owner Danielle recommends keeping an eye online for other offers. “We have sales twice a year to mark down prices on old stock that have been in the showroom for a while. If you want to grab a bargain, keep a lookout on our social media or sales page online.”

Originals’ cool warehouse range
Originals is one of those furniture stores that bears in mind the different needs and budgets of customers and curates its range accordingly. On top of this, it extends a 10 percent VIP discount to any customer who spends $5,000 in single or multiple receipts.
You can get your hands on a gorgeous Copal fabric sofa for $1,280, solid oak Torsion dining table for $1,240, or solid oak Air bedframe for $2,025. There’s also the Rose outdoor lounge chair for $580. All these products are beautifully crafted and designed to last.
Originals’ Geri Murphy points out that affordable furniture shopping doesn’t mean skimping on quality and heading to cheap furniture stores. “A cheap item will only need replacing in a short space of time,” she says. “If you’re on a tight budget, buy fewer quality pieces rather than filling your space with cheaper products. Also, the accent items don’t need to be expensive. We often help customers to make the most of their homes by working with the items they already have and treasure, adding either a statement piece or necessary items (beds, sofas, dining table and chairs) that will stand the test of time.”
