I stumbled upon Paris Home one day as I was on the lookout for a baroque style sofa to replace my old, worn-out sofa set. What started off as a chance encounter eventually wound up to be a blessing for me. I fell in love immediately with the pictures of their sofa sets online and deeper research revealed that the furniture are all made of mahogany or teak wood which are prized for their durability.   

More importantly,
the company also has its own factory in Indonesia and is able to
custom-make practically anything in your wildest dreams without you
having to bear any middle-man costs. With Paris Home, you can now get
quality, well-designed furniture without breaking the bank.   

Sounds too good
to be true? I decided to make an appointment with the lady boss,
Michelle, at their Binjai Park shopfront to check it out for myself.
Located beside popular Peranakan restaurant Ivins, the shop is pretty
easy to find and relatively accessible, especially if you live in the
West. Michelle was very friendly and patient, as she took pains to
answer all my questions about the sofa frame and foam density. I would highly recommend that you contact Michelle if you have any queries. Also, it’s best to visit the shop on weekdays as it can get pretty crowded on weekends. 

Here’s what I chose eventually:

Some of you may have already seen my new sofa set on my social media platforms. I changed the frame of the Rococo Luxury Sofa to glossy black and swopped the PU leather fabric for a luxurious black velvet material instead. You can also customize the size of the sofa to suit your living room.

Besides sofa sets, Paris Home also offers a wide selection of bespoke furniture ranging from beds, cupboards, shelves to coffee tables and chairs. Given that the furniture is custom made, don’t be surprised if you can’t find most of the items on the website on display at their shopfront. There are a few pieces of furniture on display for customers to get a better look and feel of what to expect. The quality of the furniture speaks for itself and is very evident, even from the small collection on display. 

Should you be unsure of the
measurements or installation process required,  I would also suggest
that you consult your interior designer or contractor before heading
down as that would save you some time.

I am so pleased with my purchase that I wish I had found out about Paris Home 4 years ago when I first started renovating my house! For those of you who have done your research,
you would know that it is difficult to come across affordable baroque
and french style furniture with quality workmanship. 

It is a little too late to turn back the clock now, but here are a couple of my choice picks if I were to redecorate the rest of my home:

1) Regency Collection Dining Set

2) Antique Library Bed

3) Le Rochelle Vanity Set

 

4) Victorian Belle 4-Doors Armoire

 Aren’t they beautiful?

To say that the products are gorgeous is a huge understatement. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you some of my favourites:

Meet Oscar, the cute little dog that sits, stands and begs just like a real dog. This one however, is lovingly handcrafted in solid beechwood with leather, maple wood and wenge wood accents.

Designed in 1953
by renowned Danish architect Hans Bolling, this beauty has evidently
withstood the test of time and is a Scandinavian design classic.

Place Oscar on your workstation at home or your office, and let this playful dog light up your day!

BIRD, designed by famous architect Kristian Vedel in 1959, is yet another Scandinavian design classic.

One of the most
successful wooden designs in the 50s, BIRD is the perfect companion for
your side table, or better yet, get a family of BIRDs to perk up your
coffee table!

Keep those unsightly cables neat and tangle free with wrapqarw! Not only do they look elegant, these cable organizers are eco-friendly too as they are made of quality scrap wood from the furniture industry in Japan.  

You can always trust the Japanese to come up with innovative, functional designs. 🙂 These are great as gifts too!

These wooden cups are wonderful additions to your kitchen or work desk as each cup is individually handcrafted by master-craftsman Hidetoshi Takahashi. Gosh, such dedication is hard to come by these days!

I love the simple and clean design of these cups. And the best part? They’ll never go out of style.

These porcelain discs on a deerskin lace cord are designed to clink gently in the breeze. Handcrafted in Portland, USA, by Pigeon Toe Ceramics, the beauty of this wind chime lies in its simplicity. 

“Founded in 2009, Pigeon Toe’s aspiration is to provide mankind with
everyday beauty. Each piece is handcrafted, taking an average of three
weeks to complete the transformation from clay to finished work. With a
