Most of the time, my weekends are spent running errands or completing tasks for my blog/ Instagram. A few weeks back, my sister asked me to introduce her to some interesting furniture stores as she wishes to source out some pieces for her clients' homes. Not many people know this, but my sister is actually working as an architectural designer, so she typically designs the layout and sometimes interior of the house. Coincidentally, I had a friend who is familiar with the furniture industry of JB and he introduced me to Best Home Furnishing, so I brought my sis there on one of her working Saturdays.
Best Home Furnishing Sdn Bhd is one of the well-known furniture stores in JB that specialises in high-quality and bespoke pieces. The owner has a furniture factory which caters for local and export markets and thus, the two businesses tie in perfectly together. When walking around the store, you will find that their sofas are actually one of the star items that they carry. Each piece is designed with the utmost passion and creativity. Some of the pieces are really innovative and sensible!
The staff, Elyn, was really friendly and passionate. My sis asked a lot of technical questions pertaining to her clients' specifications and Elyn was quite helpful in answering. I learnt a lot of things in the process as well, didn't know so much thought was put into designing a single piece of furniture!
For instance, we learnt that this sofa is stuffed fully with high density foam. It has no wooden frame in it and that makes this sofa super lightweight and unique. Because of the highly-skilled woodwork masters working with Best Home, they are able to manufacture more unconventionally-shaped pieces like these.
There was a section showcasing the real wood pieces used in Best Home sofas in the store. Unlike many mass-produced sofas out there, their sofas are handcrafted and uses groove joinery to slot or join the pieces, such as the chair legs, together. This actually makes the sofa more stable and durable.
Also, you are able to customise the sofa or any other indoor and outdoor furniture to your style or measurements. Check out the myriad of colours and materials that they offer for sofas - leather, fabric, vinyl, you name it, they have it.
Elyn also gave me a lesson in picking the right marble, in case I want to get for my future home (hahaha, long time more XD). So-called "marble" in the market are actually artificial and has a "perfect" look, but who knows what chemical ingredients they might contain? Real marble would have veins and swirls like these, which occur due to mineral impurities mixed with the original limestone. Instead of viewing it as an imperfection, this is instead a proof of its authenticity. Also, we learnt that you can also customise the size of the marble pieces you want and Best Home Furnishing will try their best to obtain it for you.
Snapped a lot of photos in the store, let me just share them with you guys in case you need some inspiration to decorate your home or maybe these will also entice you to drop by Best Home Furnishing to check out the quality pieces for yourself!
Each floor focuses on different styles and I found that the first floor decor is more industrial, with a more Scandinavian touch.
Second floor showcases more elegant and contemporary styles for living room and dining room, for mid to large size homes.
This was definitely one of my fave designs in the store. So luxurious and I just love the mix of blue and yellow colours to brighten the home!
My sister was especially impressed with this sofa, so she made me take a video of it for her client lol. Elyn mentioned that they understand how sometimes people want a recliner-type sofa, but are afraid that the mechanical parts inside are not durable, so they created a more "manual" one like this that extends to have a neck rest, or can revert to a normal sofa when you want it to. Quite space-saving as well.
The 3rd floor had more extravagant and elegant decor, check out this super luxe living room with the suede-like sofas!
The bedroom section can also be found here. This was one of the bedroom design in a mock studio apartment upstairs. The idea of transparent wardrobe doors is quite unique, but I think only OCD people can implement this cos people like me would have a messy wardrobe XD
Y'all, check out this cupboard design. A master painter painted this and layered gold sheets piece by piece to achieve the colour. So vintage!
I'd say overall it was a fruitful trip to Best Home Furnishing for me and my sis as she now has one more source to go to for her clients' needs. If I were to describe Best Home Furnishing's style, I'd say it is is a mix of modern and luxurious. Anyone looking to upgrade your home should definitely check this place out for unique and multi-functional pieces. I'm writing this post to let everyone know that there's not only IKEA in JB ok, the furniture industry here is actually booming as well! XD
