Like shopping for designer clothes, shopping for designer furniture in Singapore can be intimidating stuff! It can be made worse when we feel like we won’t have the funds to support what our heart really desires. But have you thought about investing in just one key piece instead – like a designer chair, a signature sofa or striking console maybe? Often that’s all you need to make a room (or yourself) feel truly special! Here are some stores that have gorgeous pieces, and a great team behind them who can help you find the right piece.
WTP Furniture – flexible designer furniture pieces
MIMI Homes, part of WTP Furniture, has plenty of designer furniture pieces for large and small spaces, including fab designer chairs and sofas. Their pieces are not only stylish, but durable as well. Perfect if you want to splash out on a high-end piece without it getting ruined by children or pets (or adults… who are never blameless!). Styles are on the more contemporary side and the brand uses legally logged woods as well as more sustainable woods such as mango – a hardwood indigenous to this part of the world.
The team’s top tip when investing in designer furniture pieces:
“Think about the flow of the room. If it’s open plan, consider how each area relates to the other in terms of colour and texture palettes. Think about the comfort level of the big pieces such as the sofa, dining table or master bed. Also, how you live determines the pieces you buy; do you love entertaining? If so, think about that beautiful set of designer chairs. Do you need a large comfy designer sofa to cater for children and elderly relatives visiting? Lifestyle will shape your decision.”

The team’s top tip when investing in designer furniture:
“Truth be told, there’s no right answer in choosing your ideal investment designer furniture pieces, but we do recommend you choose designs that you love, and pieces that would complement your home’s decor. A few key investment pieces in your home should include a timeless sofa, a statement designer chair, a classic dining set, and a durable bed and mattress set; these are the pieces you’ll most often use in your home.”
