The start of a new year means an opportunity for change. And by change, we mean finding time to redecorate and breathe new life into your personal spaces.
Singapore is home to a vibrant design scene with plenty of hidden gems offering stylish and distinctive homeware pieces. You don’t have to look beyond the city’s borders to be treated to artisan items or decorative pieces that bring a little flair into your homes and make fantastic conversation starters.
If you’re looking for handcrafted furniture or modern artisanal designs, these local shops have something special to elevate your space. We’ve curated a list of places where you can find home décor that truly stand out.
Sunday Bedding
This shop was established by Singaporean couple, Alex and Clara, who while shopping for their first home realized how little they knew about buying linens and how these things can affect how we sleep.
Sunday Bedding offers bed sheets that are not only well-made and sustainable but also budget-friendly. One of their most popular products is Bamboo sheets, which are made from 100% Bamboo Rayon, making it more absorbent than cotton. It’s perfect to use when you’re living in a country with a humid climate.
The brand also offers other items such as bath towels and loungewear. You can buy them online or at their physical stores in Raffles City, i12 Katong, and Holland Road shopping center.
Location: Sunday Flagship Store, Raffles City, 252 North Bridge Road, #03-39, S (179103)
Open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM
Marmo
The brand began as a side project because its owners had marble waste and offcuts piling up in their backyards. To address this, Marmo (“Marble” in Italian) was born, offering finely crafted objects and furniture made from 100% recycled premium stone — giving these irregularly shaped marble offcuts a second life.
More than furniture, the brand offers delicate home décor pieces such as candle holders, trays, and a classic Christmas tree set made of green Italian Verde marble. You can view and purchase their products on their official website.

Hikari & Shores
Imagine a lighthouse or the coziest miniature cabin perched on a rock or a grassy hill that you can display on your wall. Hikari & Shores turns these gorgeous views into 3D paintings enclosed in clear glass that makes it seem like they’re floating in the frame.
