The Best Shops in Johor Bahru for Aesthetic and Affordable Home Decor

So good you’ll be back for more.

If there’s one thing Singaporeans love to do, it’s crossing the Causeway to find great food and deals. You probably know at least one person who’s in JB every weekend you call them – or you might be that person yourself.

Well, on your next trip to JB, make sure to visit these home and decor stores – whether to populate your brand new BTO or refresh your living spaces – for some eye-catching finds at a steal.

Extensive homeware ranges that don’t break the bank | Objet

With a hard-to-miss storefront that houses rows of home decor ranging from Insta-worthy minimalist designs to bold patterns, Objet is a must-visit. There’s gorgeous dinnerware, a huge variety of storage boxes/baskets handmade in Indonesia and even beddings, to name a few.

While Objet has a number of locations in Malaysia, the closest is at Mid Valley SouthKey, which is just a short drive from the Causeway – AKA Singapore’s new favourite shopping spot in JB.

The best part? All the wallet-friendly prices for these chic pieces.

One-stop-shop for home decor and furniture | SSFHOME

Founded in 1989, SSFHOME operates 43 retail outlets nationwide, five of which are in JB! Its newest JB outlet is at Danga Utama, which is a stone’s throw from well-known malls like Paradigm Mall and Sutera Mall.

Here, you can explore sixteen home furnishings categories (including furniture and kitchenware) in the huge multi-storey building.

Grab a couple of bathroom organisers, spruce up your walls with framed art and keep your home smelling impeccable with a collection of home fragrances. These are just a fraction of the store’s offerings, so give yourself enough time to explore.

As for what you can find, they range from faux plants and cosy printed quilts to serveware and pretty vases that you’ll have a hard time choosing from. And did we mention the gorgeous table runners at just RM 19.90 (~S$6)?
