Custom furniture and bespoke pieces
Sometimes an off-the-shelf piece just won’t work for your home. Don’t settle for something that isn’t right; get custom-made furniture instead! It could be a regular item made to fit your room, for exaxple, or something unique. There’s also no need to keep wondering where to buy custom furniture in Singapore – the fab furniture stores we’ve listed here can make all types of bespoke furniture for you. Whether it’s custom-made dining tables, customised sofas, beds or other pieces, they can all be crafted to suit a specific size, style, material, shape or colour.
Arete Culture for beautiful bespoke furniture
The in-house line of custom furniture by Arete Culture Outdoors & Bespoke is made or finished in Singapore by the company’s dedicated carpenters. Frustrated by traditional lead times of six to eight weeks, they have put together a collection of pieces aimed at delivering quality pieces within just four weeks of order confirmation.
Materials and finish can range from solid teak, oak and walnut wood to powder-coated stainless steel, glass, tile, and marble. All designs can be made-to-order to your colour and size choices. The extensive selection includes custom-made dining tables and chairs, sideboards and bar cabinets, armchairs, coffee tables and more.
Using customised furniture helps you make full use of your space. Turn an irregularly shaped corner into a fully functional storage area with a tailored unit, accommodate an extended family with customised tables, or maximise your storage with standalone pieces that you can move with.

Woody Antique House for custom-made furniture
This store is a must-see at Tan Boon Liat Building. The lovely team at Woody Antique House can make custom furniture from a variety of different timbers such as elm and teak. Just bring a drawing or picture of what you’d like (a perfect custom-made dining table, for instance!). You can even choose to alter an existing piece from their showroom.
Over the past 23 years, this furniture store has had a number of unusual requests. A solid teak plaque for the Singapore Army, for example; a pair of sword stands for a private collector; cabinets to conceal a washing machine and a safe; and matching cabinets for dolls!
One happy customer ordered two customised daybeds with a unique lattice design and later, a customised table for their lobby, a made-to-order shoe cupboard and a customised sofa. Looking for a familiar piece of furniture but can’t find it anymore? You can call on Woody Antique House to customise a similar piece. Head to the Tan Boon Liat Building showroom for that dreamy customised furniture piece!

WTP – The Furniture Company for cool custom furniture
WTP can make a range of items to suit your needs, including customised furniture with upholstery, such as customised sofas, armchairs, upholstered dining chairs and beds. Choose from an extensive fabric library that includes stain-resistant fabrics as well as embroidered fabrics in a range of colours. Fun curtains and padded walls are also proving popular with clients.
They’re also the exclusive carrier of Lotus Homes fabrics in Singapore. Tie these into your choice of curtains, cushions and other soft furnishings to complete the look. WTP can also work with metal and marble or marble and wood combinations for pieces like coffee tables and side tables. Upholstered bedframes have also become a frequently requested item of the store.
The customisation process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours; it just depends on the scope of the design, as well as your decision-making prowess. The most unusual piece of customised furniture the WTP team has been asked to create? A cat house that doubled as a shoe cabinet! So, they really can make customised furniture for anyone.
