Soul & Tables – timeless décor designs
This Soul & Tables team is continuously sourcing furniture and décor from all around the world, but every piece has to be high-quality, affordable and sustainable – and, we think, cool! Design is important too; the products here meld looks with practicality; so, you might find a bed with a slightly reclined headboard so it’s perfect for reading on.

The designs of the Soul & Tables Signature collection are inspired by customers’ needs, coming from feedback gathered through their daily interactions.

China Collection – for antique home pieces
This antiques store is found in a delightful shophouse in Joo Chiat, with two storeys of beautiful Chinese antique and vintage furniture. The shop also carries a colourful array of Asian-inspired home décor accessories. Alongside original elm cabinets, painted sideboards, trunks, consoles and altar tables, you’ll find lamps, porcelain ginger jars and vases, bronze rain drums, ornaments, and signature jade and silk tassels.
What’s trending?
Restored pieces are always popular and offer a practical alternative to originals in that the finishes are often made more durable, and pieces can be slightly altered to be more practical in a modern home. They offer the look and collectability of an original piece while giving the piece a durable finish that will preserve its look for many decades.
Top tip from the store
Look underneath a piece to check for any wear and tear, and inside for any use of modern materials. Lastly, if it looks too new, it probably is! “Often our gut instincts are right when it comes to these things,” says owner Doug Lockett.

Just Anthony – for antique & reproduction pieces
This specialist Chinese furniture shop carries both antique furniture and reproductions, and a wide range of oriental home accessories like table lamps, garden stools and ceramic figurines. The store’s selection of modern Chinese furniture and home accessories is expanding every year – there’s always something new and different. You can also see a range of hand-painted silk wall coverings that can be customised to any size.
What’s trending at this home décor store?
Yellow accessories, including vases, jars and table lamps, are proving really popular. Owner Danielle points out that adding yellow to the house gives a warm and cheerful effect; this is needed as we spend more time at home. “It’s also easier to add a yellow accessory rather than a piece of yellow furniture.”
Besides furniture for the home office, another new trend this year is bar cabinets. Just Anthony has a huge range in store, which can be modified to any specification.
Top tip from this furniture shop
Use contrasting colours and textures. Small accessories like rugs, lamps, stools and cushions add pops of colour and give visual interest to a space. They can be added gradually and you can also move them around easily.

Arete Culture – one-stop shop for home décor in Singapore
A one-stop shop for home interior (and exterior) needs, Arete Culture has it all. From made-to-order and customised furniture and accessories, an extensive selection of both indoor and outdoor pieces, to home styling and design expertise, all led by owner and interior stylist Caroline Chin-Geyler. But don’t just take our word for it! Our readers have also voted Arete Culture as four-times gold winner of Expat Living’s Readers’ Choice Awards in the category of interior design and home styling.
What’s trending at Arete Culture?
With so much more time spent at home, customers are increasingly looking to maximise their space, and home décor in Singapore has evolved to meet this new demand. Arete Culture has seen an increased demand for outdoor living spaces, whether for a large backyard or small balcony. This extends to both furniture as well as décor such as outdoor-friendly cushions, rugs, and hurricane lanterns.
Top tip from the store
To seamlessly integrate your indoor/outdoor spaces, work with the same colour palette in areas that share the same sightlines, advises Caroline. “For example, if your balcony is visible from the living room, use the same colour palette to unify these traditionally separate spaces.” Arete Culture’s stylists also recommend furnishing your outdoor space with the same attention you would to an indoor space; lighting and textiles are crucial for warming up an outdoor area.
