26th October 2022 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

Find living room furniture in Singapore from sofas and coffee tables to soft furnishings and rugs in this roundup of furniture stores. Make your living room into the perfect space!

Modular and Standard Sofas

One of the first items of living room furniture most people buy when moving to Singapore is a sofa. The choice depends so much on the shape and size of your current living room, but you also have to think about how versatile it will be in your next home. The type of fabric and colour can depend on the age of your children or if you have pets! Leather is great for kids – easy to clean and it lasts forever – but it can get hot if you don’t have air-con. Are the covers removable? Colour-wise, you might want to buy the rug for your living room first and then choose the sofa. So we’ve included a few carpets here too!
