Online furniture stores are a godsend to us homeowners, as we can browse through a huge catalogue of sofas and dining tables without breaking a sweat. But choosing the right store to shop from is a tougher task than it seems, especially if you’ve already exhausted all the options that FortyTwo and HipVan have to offer.
To help solve the dilemma of where you should start your furniture hunt, here are 13 online furniture stores to check out:
1. Nook & Cranny – Eclectic & industrial designs

Eclectic and industrial designs are all the rage. You can find chic furniture that will fit into those themes at Nook & Cranny. The store is renowned for its sofa collection where there is even a tab on its website dedicated to sofas, whether leather or fabric, recliners or lounge chairs.
All orders above $300 will be entitled to free delivery. And if you’re not happy with what you’ve bought, there’s a 14-day fuss-free return policy.
Should you decide to want to try the furniture out in person, they also have a 2-storey showroom at The Grandstand which is stocked with their online collection.

2. Castlery – In-house designers from Europe & Australia
A furniture store that we’ve seen in plenty of our featured homes is Castlery. The local furniture brand is best known for offering bougie and chic furniture for those on a budget. While most of its furniture falls under the mid-century modern style, there are still plenty of options including rattan, boucle, and tufted pieces for all types of aesthetics.
If you’re deciding between 2 different swatches, you can make use of Castlery’s Free Swatch service where you’ll get up to 3 colours and textures to see and feel before you commit to either one. You can also pay for big-ticket items like beds and sofas with instalment plans through OCBC, UOB, American Express, and GrabPay.

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword these days, as savvy shoppers are more consciously snapping up vintage furniture that has been given a new lease of life courtesy of the team at Originals.

8. Finn Avenue – Luxury art deco & Victorian pieces

The Great Gatsby movie’s premier back in 2013 sent the world into a tizzy for the art deco aesthetic. 10 years on, the opulent style of the Roaring 20s is still popular among homeowners who crave a more flamboyant and glamorous take on interior design. One place to find pieces that fit right in that era is Finn Avenue.
From sideboards with geometric patterns to boucle accent chairs, the e-store has plenty of art deco furniture for your living and dining room. They also carry a selection of home decor and accessories.

They also offer free delivery and assembly for most orders – condo and apartment dwellers would have to pay $15 for the service.

There’s something oh-so-charming about rattan and teak furniture, especially since it’s a style that is so commonplace in Southeast Asian islands like Bali and Singapore. To deck your home in those coastal island vibes, head over to Island Living’s online store where you can shop rattan lounge furniture, wicker baskets, and handcrafted mirrors.

Assembling furniture comes naturally to some, but for others, a service like free installation and assembly is a godsend. Soul & Tables offers not only that, but they’ll also deliver it to your doorstep for free plus give you a lifetime warranty for all the furniture you buy from them.
Some of the furniture that you can find on their web store include solid wood furnishings, teak and oak wood pieces from Ethnicraft, and bean bags from the brands Roolf and Fatboy.

Not all of us can swallow the 4- to 5-figure price tags that are commanded by designer furniture. Thankfully, you can still achieve a similar aesthetic courtesy of Loft Home Furniture as their catalogue of furniture has pieces that bear striking similarities with designer darlings.

Take the Herman Miller Cosm for example. While the original goes for at least $2,389, Loft Home Furniture has a similar ergonomic chair that’s just $199. They also have a $79 version of the Philippe Starck Ghost Chair that normally runs for over $700.

13. Wihardja – Experts in teak and suar wood

One of the hardest hardwoods is teak, and it happens that Wihardja is the local expert in teak furniture. However, sometimes the pieces you have your eye on have long delivery times as they’ll only be made once an order has been placed. Which is why Wihardja’s ready-stock tab on their online store is so handy, as these products are all waiting to leave the warehouse.
If you can’t find something that fits your needs, you can also get them to customise something to your exact requirements, even if it’s just adding another drawer to the cupboard you have bookmarked. They can recreate something from your Pinterest moodboard, too.
