Adding antique and rustic décor to your house has never been more affordable with these lamps from JRD Lamp!

You will also find chandeliers that look straight out of an Addam’s Family scene, as well as old-school metallic fans. These vintage items will look great if you have a house with a quirky charm. They add a good touch of nostalgia to your surroundings, especially if you throw some wood elements in the mix!

But what really gets us gushing over at this shop are their whimsical drawer pulls that come in the most uncommon shapes and colours – flowers, footballs, elephants … basically everything funky to stand out from the usual houses!

2. Salty, wavy beach house items – Nuan Pan (JJ Mall)

Thanks to shops like Nuan Pan; they transport you to the tropics and make you feel like you are living under the sun of Bora-Bora (even if you are living that city life)!

A visit to Nuan Pan is definitely for those of you who prefer some unique beach living.

The items are sure to bring you some ocean breeze with best-sellers like turtle-shaped hangers, starfish taps, exotic towel hangers; to name a few.

4. A father to son artistic affair – Kwang Gallery (JJ Mall)

You can’t possibly escape the creative genes when you have an artist as a father…

Kwang Gallery is a father-to-son artistic affair; the father being the artist behind all paintings and the son being the photographer.

They have photographed versions of each painting and these make great additions to your house or simply very unique souvenirs to bring back home for relatives and friends…

You will notice in each piece, a delicate amount of hard work and dedication from the artists – a mixture of pigments and textures that portray the local landscape, scenery and Thai traditions. Looks pretty cool to us.

Need to keep the kids busy at the table? Problem solved with those cute plates and cutleries that will seem pretty mesmerising and catchy enough to them!

There are several themes to be discovered at the departmental store and they’ll be updated from time to time. While we were there, all trends were about marble, rose-gold, tropical and even circus details! Talk about an off-beat house!

We simply love the tropical section; drop by and look out for the ones that are attractive to you and those that match your house theme and colour palette!

We might have gone a little crazy in this shop; and this is why it deserves the first place! J&B Ceramic has the widest range of affordable kitchen and dinnerware you can imagine.

From wooden platters that serve to turn your basic hamburger into a presentable, gourmet one… (unless you prefer to go a little posh with the marble ceramic platter)

To cocktail shakers and even high-tea tiers and cages! These make great gift ideas too!

We love how easy it is to get the ultimate hip coffee-shop vibes to our homes with their eccentric light bulb glasses… and bronze cutlery?!

But be sure to grab some of what they are famous for … their crockery; you will find them in multiple shapes, colours and textures to match your kitchen colour palette or simply to stand out…. (Ooooh and really cute cupcake stands too!)

11. For your every DIY glass project – JJ Glass (JJ Mall Entrance)

JJ Glass offers an array of glass homewares that make pure and fresh additions to any home! Their works of art come in different popping colours too (in case traditional transparent glass isn’t appealing to you!).

To be fair, mason jars are totally in at the moment (it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon) and here is where you can grab some of them at super affordable prices! Besides making any beverage more fun to drink, they also serve as a great make-up brushes’ holder (tested and recommended).

You might also consider upcycling these pitchers with some creativity, turn them into vases or candle holders, with sand and seashells at the bottom – be you and do you when it comes to decorating your house! DIY is so much fun!

The liquid feel and transparency of these glass items will instantly add a dreamlike effect to your house.

While making your way through the shops’ aisles, you will also find more surprisingly useful items that you once thought would be of no use… like special popcorn bowls that serve on fun movie nights at home, as well as stainless steel products!

We can’t stop raving about their miniature deep-fryer baskets that even come in rose gold- these give ultimate American-diners’ feels!

PS: If you’re looking for old-school chicken bowls, they have those here too!

13. For a touch of Moroccan riad – Pienong Benjarong (JJ Mall Entrance)

Looks Moroccan but originates from China and derived from Thai materials. What a combo!

If you do not know, “Benjarong” ware is Thai ceramic porcelain that’s been painted, and it is as pretty as a mosaic piece of art!

These gorgeous pieces are made by local artists who skillfully paint each of them distinctively.

The intricate works at Pienong Benjarong come in the form of teapots, jewelry boxes and other items. They are also available in all sizes and colour mixes, and are certainly great to add that pop of colour and design in your minimalist or bohemian home.

If you like everything Moroccan, you should definitely grab a few of these; look out for different shades of blue and green outlined with shimmering gold for that Mediterranean ambiance…

Adorn your house with rich colours and evoke a warm luxurious style to it!

14. For the love of garden gnomes and statues – Full House Design (JJ Mall)

This shop brings us back to our childhood! These little sculptures are great garden-guardians (or door guardians!), and are sure to make your neighbours and passersby look twice.

They come in the form of gnomes, but untraditional ones include dwarf-sized frogs, cute couples, bunnies and even fairies… In fact, it does remind us of Alice in Wonderland!

Full House Design also offers artificial lawn mats for sale – these have been trendy amongst those of us living in apartments, and looking to bring some green on our balcony. They are neat and need very little maintenance!

The shop also sells flower pots and miniature wishing wells. The whole fairy-garden theme is complete with those must-buys.

Let the gnomes sprinkle their magical powers around your garden!

These lamps completely abide by the “less is more” approach, and that certainly does not mean boring – they create a clutter-free space with the most peaceful and calming vibes you ever wished for.

18. For all things natural, minimalist and bohemian – The Wood’s Tale

The shop has a wide variety of home decor with shimmery gold accents here and there…

From lamps to photo-frames; you will find everything to give style to your new house.

Our crush? The fact that they keep up with the latest interior decoration trends… like those flamingos and tropical printed cushions for instance! Right to the Amazonian forest!

20. Special Mention: Affordable homeware and furniture then meatballs – IKEA Bang Yai Bangkok

Okay, yes we know, everyone’s been to IKEA back in your home country. BUT the largest Ikea of Southeast Asia is opening in Bangkok in March 2018! We repeat… the LARGEST! Obviously this also means a wider range of products.

Besides their scrumptious meatballs; look out for their adapted catalogue specifically for Thailand – you definitely won’t be able to get those back at home.
