We have set an entirely new standard on all aspects of home life, from diversified shopping offers, home design ideas, shopping process, to post-sales service.
In recent years, consumers have developed higher standards for home decor product design and quality. They are no longer looking for "the best deal", but the "best valued product", meaning product price and quality are of equal importance to shoppers. Sophisticated shoppers will do online research, compare brands and products, learn about the product''s design philosophies and product durability, among others. Two areas that consumers have become increasingly interested in are brand heritage and the quality of material used. These concepts are more important to consumers, even ahead of price. Consumers are more willing to buy items from an established, respected brand because they know the item could last them well from 5 years to over a decade, in addition to vintage furniture gaining value in price as time goes on, hence the continual increasing interest in high-end furniture. HomeSquare''s Smart Buys Week focuses on the aforementioned trends, and have collaborated with renowned international brands that are known for their quality and craftsmanship, these include: Denmark''s BoConcept, French mattress brand Treca, Italy''s Cattelan Italia, and Decor Collection, which exclusively handles a myriad of European brands.

Every item is sold at a major discount, from popular brand name goods to award-winning designer pieces, to meet the needs of shoppers with different tastes and needs. To cater to the surging demand for online shopping, HomeSquare has launched a smartphone app exclusively for Smart Buy Weeks offering a quality, easy-to-use and secure online shopping experience. Shoppers can select and pay for furniture all on their smartphones, making online shopping at HomeSquare as easy as a snap of the fingers.
