Good quality living room furniture in Singapore to suit all budgets

Finding the perfect living room furniture that not only looks and feels great, but that also suits your budget, can be a challenge. We turned to the experts at furniture stores, Originals, Kuhl Home and Danish Designs to suggest the best combination of sofas, coffee tables, sideboards and accessories for four different shopper profiles.

#1 Shopper profile

This young couple have just arrived in Singapore with their one year-old baby. They’re not sure how long they’ll be here, so they’ve left the majority of their furniture in their home country. They have just moved into an apartment with a fairly neutral/blank canvas and are looking for key items: sofa, coffee table, side tables and accessories.

Their own style is warm and homely, and they need pieces that are baby-friendly.

Budget: $7,500

* All purchases above $5,000 are entitled to a ten percent discount at Originals.

Living room furniture Singapore - originals sofa — The Beccy three seater natural sofa has removable covers for easy cleaning, $2,400. Throw cushions are also a great way of adding a splash of colour, from $90 to $150

Living room furniture Singapore - originals — The Bamileke side table’s style matches the coffee table, and its round corners are, again, great for kids, $650.

Living room furniture Singapore - originals rug — A good rug anchors a space and brings it all together, and this piece is also available in wool, making it a soft surface for kids to play on, $650.

#2 Shopper profile

This family of four have just moved to a landed house, traditional in style, and are looking for a new sofa and some storage for their accessories and books, as well as a console table if possible. Their two children are aged 8 and 10, so childproof furniture is no longer a necessity.

They love a bit of colour in their home, and are also keen on using accessories to style the house.

Budget: $10,000

Originals furniture — Charlie three-seater sofa, $2,800. “This is probably the most comfortable sofa we sell,” says Original’s Jasdep Singh. “It’s popular for the luxurious linen it comes draped in, and the fact the covers are easily removable.” The India recycled coffee table, pictured in front, keeps everything light and fresh, $800.

Originals furniture cabinet — India buffet, $1,580.

This large India bookcase anchors the area, $3,800

Originals furniture mirror — Mirror, $995.

#3 Shopper Profile

This is the second stint in Singapore for this older couple, whose children are at university. They’re looking for a coffee table, storage unit and rug (if possible).

They have just moved into an ultra-contemporary apartment, bringing along their large L-shaped sofa in grey linen, and their silver side tables. They like clean lines and simplicity, and dislike clutter.

Budget: $12,500

Living room furniture Singapore - Danish design tables — The TS coffee table creates a sculptural aesthetic in a room, with its slender legs, crossing details and contrasting solid marble or dyed glass table top.

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl rug — The Bolia Velluto rug adds texture and elevates the look of the sofa and side tables. It completes the overall contemporary and luxurious style of the home.

Living room furniture Singapore - Danish design shelves — The versatile String System storage unit is modular and can be configured to look simple and help organise clutter.

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl shelves — The rods in this Bolia ROD shelving system complement those of the coffee table. The wooden shelving and black powder-coated steel (or plated brass) give sufficient contrast against the monochrome palette.

living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl — The Piero coffee table doubles up as magazine holder. It’s a contemporary piece that will stand out against the grey and silver colour palette.

#4 Shopper Profile

This family has lived in Singapore for ten years and have two teenage children studying here. Their current sofa and coffee table need replacing as their original pieces from home are now breaking down. They live in a black-and-white house, and their living room, in particular, is fairly neutral in colour, with muted tones. There’s a large round jute rug in the middle of the room and an old brown leather armchair that need to be worked around.

Budget: $15,000

* Prices for both Danish Design and Kuhl Home’s products fit within the shoppers’ budgets and are available upon request.

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl borwn sofa — The Hannah sofa is flexible and contemporary with soft lines and curves, which will soften the look of the jute rug. The legs of the sofa can come in a traditional-looking wooden peg, or a modern lacquered runner, which can either complement the rug and coffee table, or provide contrast to them.

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl throw rug — The Charleston throw would work well against the family’s dated armchair

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl living room black — The Bowl coffee table is a statement piece that will draw some attention away from the age of the armchair. The table also doubles up as a great storage solution for magazines and coffee table books.

Living room furniture Singapore - Kuhl rainbow pillows — These Blue Garden cushions provide a pop of colour, while helping the interior flow to the nature outdoors.

Living room furniture Singapore - Danish design sofa — The DK3 Plateau coffee table is a timeless piece that comes in a solid wooden top and steel base – a combination of classic Danish heritage and modern, natural elements. Its simple design, inspired by a tree trunk, can be blended into a room setting, including the natural aesthetic of a black-and-white house.

Living room furniture Singapore - Danish design living room — The modularity of the Krypton sofa from Eilersen gives flexibility, without losing the formality of a living room. The slanted arms add to the modern interpretation, but don’t go overboard.
