Hong Kong is home to numerous different furniture stores that suit all tastes and budgets. Hong Kongers are extremely fond of renovating their homes and do so whenever they can afford to. Antique Chinese teak and rosewood furniture continue to be desired in traditional Hong Kong homes though many younger people seem to veer towards the more minimalist, modern designs that are sold in the various furniture outlets in Hong Kong. Custom made furniture is also popular in Hong Kong as is traditional Asian furniture which is imported from neighboring countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and Burma.
The Swedish well priced furniture brand Ikea has become extremely popular here in recent years so much so that the furniture chain now has three stores in Hong Kong that are perennially packed with shoppers as they typically offer products and displays that are tailored to the small-sized apartment living of Hong Kong.
One of the best places to purchase furniture in Hong Kong is at the Horizon Plaza in Ap Leu Chau. Horizon Plaza is a mall that is dedicated to furniture stores which offer a wide array of local and western styled furniture accents. The stores at Horizon Plaza offer bespoke furniture as well though it tends to be quite pricey.
