Tan Boon Liat Building

Didn’t even know this building exist till recently I was trying to look for furniture for my new house thanks for my interior designer.
It is for sure a good place for you to source for furniture because in this building have few interesting furniture shop.
A simple review for 6 shops,
Pomelo — Not a very big store and the furniture here are contemporary style, I do like some of the furniture.
Make Room — This store is more focusing on soft furnishing, got lots of cute and nice deco.
shop house — a very big store, and with lots of choices, but I do find most of their furniture size are big, don’t think it is suitable for mall HDB unit.
Mountain Teak — as what the name stated the store is full of teak furniture.
Journey East — Lots of industry inspired furniture, if you like or your house are going for the theme, I do think it is worth to check it out.

Very interesting mixed-​use building. I used to pass by the back side of the building when I took the bus home from Tiong Bahru, and noticed some interesting signage along the building for shops. Initially I thought it was just a warehouse/​industrial area, but I’ve since learned that this building is home to both offices and really neat retail furniture stores!
So far, my husband and I love Journey East on the 3^rd floor. They specialise in eco-​friendly furniture and source their materials from Java, Indonesia. The Shophouse on the 7^th floor has some beautiful furniture and modern accent pieces, while Red House on the first floor is more Asian-​styled accents (with a cute dog wandering around the premises! I think he was a terrier.) If you’re a bit hungry and down with western food, check out The Providore on the 5^th floor. You can buy ice cream sandwiches and they have a café. They’re also great if you’re looking for some hostess gifts or gourmet food!
There were so many other furniture shops to check out; I reckon you should set aside at least 2 hours if you want to see all of them! Some are pricey, but I doubt they’re more expensive than what you’d see at Park Mall. Although this building is located in Tiong Bahru, it’s not near the MRT station so taking the bus or cabbing it is the easiest way to get here.
