Bangkok Furniture Shops & Home Decor
Bangkok Shopping
The fine craftsmanship and innovative design of the East have long been admired, and Thailand - together with Indonesia and Bali - has taken the lead with beautifully hand-crafted furniture and decorative items. Along with that, décor trends have increasingly been favouring Asian design and products, for their beauty, craftsmanship and because they are made from natural materials.
The wide range of traditional furniture is not where the train stops though, as a new crop of Thai product design brands have helped propel the growth of contemporary design movements. A highlight is the innovative use and transformation of natural materials such as bamboo, rattan, para wood, teakwood, leather and water hyacinth into fabulous and functional contemporary pieces. Crafactor and Yothaka are the two leading brands that set the trend for both materials and designs each year.
And when it comes to shopping for furniture and home accessories, Bangkok’s shopping malls are your best bet. Most of them have an entire floor dedicated to this purpose, notably the likes of The Emporium, Siam Paragon and Siam Discovery. Stand-alone boutique-style furniture and home décor outlets are also easy to find, particularly along Sukhumvit Road (between Phrom Phong and Thong Lo BTS stations) and inside the maze of sois off the main road. Don’t forget Chatuchak Weekend Market, which has a whole street block designated for furniture and is perhaps the best place to get your custom-made pieces. If you are after quality, though, better contact one of the showrooms listed below.
