Where To Furniture Shop In Penang, Other Than IKEA
We all are aware that furnishing a whole home or an apartment - even just one room - can be quite costly. And while we love scoring modern, affordable furniture from the popular direct-to-consumer, furniture brands such as 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 affordable 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!
