Originals Recognised Across Three Categories in Expat Living Best in Category 2025 Awards

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, September 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Singapore furniture retailer Originals has been recognised across three categories in the Expat Living Best in Category 2025 awards, receiving recognition for Living Room Furniture, Bedroom Furniture, and Antique & Asian Furniture. The acknowledgement highlights three distinct areas of Originals’ collection and reflects its approach to bringing together design, craftsmanship and functionality across different styles of furniture.

Being recognised in multiple categories is particularly meaningful for Originals as its collection extends across different rooms, design influences, and furniture styles. From pieces intended for everyday living to distinctive antique and Asian-inspired furniture, the recognition reflects the breadth of its offering while reinforcing the importance of considered design in creating personal, functional homes.

Recognition Across Three Furniture Categories
The Expat Living Best in Category 2025 recognition covers three key areas of Originals’ collection:
Living Room Furniture – pieces designed to support comfortable and functional living spaces
Bedroom Furniture – furniture intended to create practical and considered private spaces
Antique & Asian Furniture – distinctive pieces that bring character, craftsmanship, and cultural influences into the home
Each category represents a different aspect of how people furnish and experience their homes. Living rooms often serve as spaces for gathering and everyday activities, while bedrooms require a balance between comfort, functionality, and personal style. Antique and Asian furniture, meanwhile, can introduce a stronger sense of individuality through distinctive forms, materials, and design influences.

For Originals, being recognised across all three categories provides an opportunity to acknowledge the different ways customers approach furnishing their homes.

Furniture Designed to Have a Place in the Home

Rather than focusing on a single interior style, Originals’ collection brings together furniture with different aesthetics and personalities. This allows customers to select pieces according to their existing interiors, preferences, and the way they use their spaces.
A living room may combine a substantial sofa with natural materials and carefully selected accent pieces, while a bedroom may call for furniture with a quieter presence. Elsewhere, an antique or Asian-inspired piece can provide a visual focal point or introduce a contrasting material, shape, or finish.
This variety is central to the way Originals approaches its collection. Furniture is not selected simply to fill a room but to contribute to how the space looks, feels and functions over time.


Balancing Design, Craftsmanship, and Functionality
The recognition also reflects qualities that Originals considers when selecting furniture for its collection. Design is considered alongside craftsmanship and functionality, with an emphasis on pieces that can remain relevant within a home beyond changing interior trends.
This approach is particularly relevant when choosing larger furniture pieces. A dining table, bed, sofa, or cabinet can become part of a home for many years, making factors such as construction, materials, and versatility important considerations.

Originals therefore takes a considered approach to the furniture it carries, selecting pieces that align with its criteria rather than attempting to follow every emerging design trend.

A Focus on Responsible Sourcing
The company’s approach extends beyond the appearance and function of individual products. Originals works with manufacturers that follow responsible practices and strict protocols, with suppliers selected based on shared values and standards.

When considering products for its collection, Originals places importance on areas including:
Sustainable materials where suitable
Responsible manufacturing processes
Products intended for long-term use
Manufacturers whose practices align with its own criteria
This means that sourcing is part of the selection process, rather than an afterthought. The objective is to offer furniture and home pieces that customers can live with for years while being more conscious of the materials and processes behind them.
Bringing Different Styles Together
One of the challenges of furnishing a home is finding pieces that feel individual without making the overall space feel disconnected. Originals’ broad collection gives customers the flexibility to combine different furniture styles, materials, and finishes.
The recognition for both mainstream furniture categories and Antique & Asian Furniture reflects this breadth. Contemporary pieces can sit alongside more distinctive designs, while natural materials and traditional influences can be incorporated into interiors without requiring an entire room to follow one particular aesthetic.

For homeowners and those furnishing new spaces in Singapore, this flexibility can make it easier to develop an interior gradually. Individual furniture pieces can be selected based on their function and character, allowing a home to evolve rather than being completed all at once.
Continuing to Expand the Collection

While the Expat Living recognition celebrates Originals’ furniture collection, the company continues to develop its wider range of products for the home. Its selection includes furniture, rugs, lighting, and decorative home accessories, offering additional ways for customers to shape their interiors.

The company has also recently introduced a new selection of :
Rugs
Lamps
Vases, pots, dishes, and other home accessories
The range includes different materials, finishes, and forms, from understated pieces to more sculptural designs.
These additions provide further options for customers who want to complement existing furniture with smaller details and layers of texture, without suggesting that a complete interior redesign is necessary.
Looking Ahead
The Expat Living Best in Category 2025 recognition across living room furniture, bedroom furniture, and antique & Asian furniture marks a significant acknowledgement of three areas that form an important part of Originals’ collection.
For the company, the recognition is an opportunity to reflect on its approach to selecting furniture: bringing together different aesthetics while maintaining attention to craftsmanship, functionality, materials and responsible manufacturing.

As Originals continues to evolve its collection, its focus remains on providing furniture and home pieces that can have a lasting place within the spaces people live in.
