Another reason to say “East side, best side”.
Fun as it may be, multiple homeowners we’ve spoken to share that shopping for your new home gets exhausting after a while – particularly if you end up burning consecutive weekends searching for furnishings, fittings and appliances.
Because of this, we often recommend starting with areas that have a higher concentration of home and living stores/showrooms, like Ubi, Tan Boon Liat and TradeHub21.
But there’s another that you may have frequently passed by without even knowing: Tampines T-Space, located just across the road from IKEA Tampines! Here are some shops to check out while you’re there:

Looking to spruce up your space in a way that’s affordable while making a statement? From contemporary fluted panels to faux marble panels, Vwalla carries over 400 design and colour combinations of wall and ceiling coverings to choose from – which means there’s definitely one that will tickle your fancy.
And if you love karaoke or jamming at home, you’ll also be able to find acoustic panels that contain sound within the room for a more immersive audio experience without disturbing your neighbours!
P.S. They also have collections for aluminium fluted panels and aluminium ceiling trellis.

Terra Plush in Woosa’s new PLUSH line, with extra-firmness
Quality mattresses are essential for quality sleep. And at Woosa, all mattresses are assembled entirely in Belgium, adhering to strict European standards as well as CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX Class 1 certifications for safety and quality control. Industry standards aside, they’ve also got a 4.9-star Google Review rating* to back them up.
*Average rating across over a thousand reviews, as at time of writing
For a medium-plush feel, opt for Mysa Plush
Of note is Woosa’s newest PLUSH line. Each mattress in this line comes with a PLUSH TOP that gives the feeling like you’re being cradled by a cloud, while its PLUSH CORE adapts to your every sleeping position, with 3 firmness levels to choose from (Mysa, Original and Terra). Luxe comfort and spinal support? Check and check.
For medium-firmness that provides incredible cradling comfort, opt for Original Plush
And while it’s essential to try them out at the T-Space showroom for yourself, the reality is that lying on a mattress for a few minutes in the showroom may not be indicative of the full sleep experience you’ll get.
For added peace of mind regarding your purchase, Woosa offers a 30-day free trial as well as a 10-year warranty for manufacturing and workmanship defects. So, what have you got to lose?
Exclusive Qanvast Promo: Quote ‘QANVAST’ on their e-store or in-store for $150 any mattress. Valid till 30 April 2025, and not valid with other promotions.

Smart home devices/appliances have become ubiquitous, but having to toggle through multiple (or worse, the wrong) apps on your smartphone for different uses can sometimes feel… not so smart.
Examples of devices Home-A-Genius can integrate, with no need for Google Assistant as a secondary hub
Enter Home-A-Genius, a smart hub that’s able to integrate 99% of smart devices on the market into a single hub so you won’t be constrained by brand/ecosystem compatibility. This includes anything from your robot vacuum to air con, all controlled via a single app, so you won’t need to clutter your smart phone with apps from every brand.

Then, create scenes without any programming language, like dimming the lights and turning on your speakers for movie nights with a touch or a button. Alternatively, pre-set routines, like drawing your curtains open and having an alarm ring at an appointed time every morning.
Home-A-Genius runs on a local server, which means that it’ll remain operational even when you lose internet connectivity
If you’re new to the smart home game, well, don’t worry. Their team of consultants are more than happy to assist you in getting started. And did we mention that Home-A-Genius was designed and built locally? After all, who better to know the needs of Singapore’s homeowners than a group that’s based in Singapore!

Bruno Electric Slide Sofa with water-repellent fabric upholstery
Okay, this last shop on our list may not be within T-Space per se, but it’s in the vicinity. More importantly, it’s been a go-to furniture store among Singapore’s homeowners due to its affordability and reliability for over 40 years, so we thought we should include it.
In fact, as at time of writing, some of their bestselling sofas are currently on sale for under $2,000:
… so you should definitely check them out while the deal is hot!
Ouran 3 Seater Electric Recliner Sofa (Fabric), with a hidden console box and reading light
P.S. Most of their sofas are also made-to-order, which means you’ll get to customise everything from colours to upholstery to seating configuration – so that you’ll get one that suits your home’s layout and interior decor!
Julie Sofa Bed
Lastly, as a local brand, Novena Furniture understands that space is a major constraint for most households in Singapore, which is why many of their pieces pull double duty. Think sofas with an electric reclining function or sofa beds that can be used when you wish to lounge around or have guests over, reducing the need for a separate recliner and bed – without compromising on comfort.
