Where To Furniture Shop In Penang, Other Than IKEA

April 14, 2026

Stores worth saving for your next furniture hunt.

We all are aware that furnishing a whole home or a condominium – even just one room – can be quite costly. And while we love scoring modern, affordable furniture from the popular furniture brand IKEA, sometimes you want something that can't be found in almost everyone’s home or office.

To help expand your horizons beyond IKEA, we have rounded up 8 home decor and furniture stores in Penang for you to explore. Whether you’re moving into a new home or just planning to update your house’s interior with new furniture, we think this list will come in handy for every style and budget. Let’s get started!

1. Recafi Furniture | Huge warehouse with over 3000 items

With its HQ, warehouse and showroom in Penang, Recafi Furniture houses over 3,000 pieces in a massive multi-storey building, making it a great one-stop destination for all your home needs.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a bedframe, bedding essentials, console tables, sofas, workstations or even bar stools, you can find plenty of options to suit your design style preference. On top of that, their furniture is priced reasonably thanks to direct-from-factory sourcing that cuts out the middleman.

For those who want something a little bespoke, Recafi Furniture also offers customisation options on selected furniture, like sliding doors and open-door wardrobes. You can tweak colours, sizes and compartments to better fit your space and lifestyle. Plus, with their in-house delivery and assembly team, getting your new furniture set up is quick and fuss-free, often within two weeks.

2. Ruma | Modern and contemporary designed furniture

Known for its mid-century, modern, and slightly earthy design aesthetic, homegrown brand Ruma has expanded up north in recent years, so Penangites can now experience and shop their pieces in person at their George Town showroom.

Their furniture leans away from the generic, mass-produced look, focusing instead on character-driven designs with soft curves, rich textures, warm tones, and natural materials. It’s ideal for homeowners who want something more “IG-worthy” than purely practical pieces.

When shopping at Ruma, you can also opt for home delivery (fees apply, capped at RM250), while assembly is included, so you can sit back and let them handle the setup.

Aside from furniture, you’ll also find hotel-style bedding including pillows, comforters, and bedsheets, along with kitchen accessories, as well as both ready-made and custom curtains available in a variety of colours and designs.

Shopping there is pretty convenient and affordable too, where you can opt for a 0% installment plan (with minimum spend) or choose to buy online and pick up in store if that’s easier. For bigger items, delivery fees start from RM100 (up to 99kg), while delivery with assembly is RM129, making setup hassle-free.
