Home Furniture, where to buy, costs?? - Details needed, Help!!!!

Hello,

Hi Poorni,

Over here we have COURTS, GAIN CITY ( FOR ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ITEMS), MUSTAFA ( you get everything under one roof), IKEA, NOVENA ( for furniture) etc. Once you come over here, Look in to the newspaper & you can find many good deals ( shopping mall/centre offering at good price ) check it out!

Hi AnuShiv,

Thanks for the info. I was just a little curious to know the rough estimation for the things mentioned, in indian currency. Just the bare minimum and simple stuff, something close to indian style. I will be glad if you can throw some light on this.

Thanks

Hi again poorni,

well, Products are available in different variety & in brands. If you look for Japanese or European ones..they are slightly expensive (but good quality) wheares Chinese & korean brands are available in pleanty at a lesser price.It's all up to individual choice & preferance ( according to budget) for example washing machine can cost from $250-$1000/- ( $1 SGD = Rs 27/-) similarly TV, Fridge etc. The price ranges from $300-$1200/-) For furniture & other home appaliance look into the following websites for a better picture. www.coats.com.sg

By the way, you've mention 'new house', have you bought an apartment or you are shifting to new rented place? in case if you're going for a rented one...first go for for a fully furnished apartment & later on slowly you can buy your appliances.Thats what many of us do over here..

I think the range in Courts is getting more trendier this days. IKEA Is alright in terms of bedding and other electronic stuff. But if you are looking into more beautiful furniture..you may want to try places like Barang Barang, wooden furnitures,, in Tanglin Mall,

Or even Wihardja ,they have Indonesian Furnitures..very authentic and reasonable priced.

anyways have you found a place to stay ??

Hello AnuShiv,

Thanks for the input. We've purchased a resale 4 room hdb. Since we would need the basic furniture and applicances I thought I do a little search so that we wont have to be without it for long.

Thanks again
