The Best Furniture Stores in Melbourne for Design Lovers

Melbourne takes interiors seriously. Here, a sofa is rarely just a sofa, a dining table has opinions, and the right lamp can change the whole mood of a room before anyone has sat down. Across the city, our best furniture stores span sculptural Australian-made pieces, Scandinavian icons, vintage mid-century treasures, maximalist showrooms and outdoor settings built for actual Australian weather.

From design-world heavyweights in Richmond and Fitzroy to colour-drenched Prahran favourites and tightly edited Armadale showrooms, these are the Melbourne furniture stores worth knowing before your next room reset, renovation or once-in-a-decade investment buy.

Zenn Design

Zenn Design’s Caulfield South showroom has entered a striking new era under the eye of celebrated interior designer Tali Roth. Beneath a chartreuse lacquered ceiling, sculptural beds, custom upholstery and tactile Australian-made furniture sit among walnut, mohair, ceramics and brushed steel. The space also introduces Drop 001, Zenn’s first ready-made furniture collection, alongside its bespoke seating, curtains and bedroom pieces. Less conventional retail floor, more fully realised Melbourne home, it is worth visiting for the interiors inspiration alone.

Eva Carlton House

Eva’s Carlton House turns furniture shopping in Melbourne into something far more intimate. Set inside a restored heritage terrace on Faraday Street, Carlton, the flagship showroom was designed with InAddition Studio to feel less like retail and more like a lived-in home. Sofas, beds, dining pieces and homewares sit in rooms you can move through, touch and test, with Eva’s Melbourne-designed, B Corp-certified furniture made for real life, children, pets and decisive design lovers alike.

186 Faraday Street, Carlton

In Good Company

Husband-and-wife duo John and Louise Bastiras have shaped In Good Company as the antithesis of the clinical furniture showroom. Its vaulted, light-filled Armadale rooms bring together sculptural lighting, beautifully made seating and enduring pieces from GUBI, Muuto, Vitra, HAY, De La Espada and Studio Bastiras. Settle into the sofas, inspect the materials and let the in-house design team help compose a room you will still love years from now.

The En Gold Gallery

En Gold’s Armadale gallery trades showroom sterility for creamy tones, organic textures and furniture with a story held inside the material. Founders Matt and Steffanie Ball work with artisans in Cebu to create fossil-stone tables, plinths and sculptural pieces that pair contemporary Melbourne design with traditional Filipino craft. Take time to inspect the natural markings, feel the hand-finished surfaces and browse more than 100 designs within the calm High Street space.

RJ Living 

RJ Living’s Hawthorn flagship is built for the considered room reset, where modular sofas, curved dining chairs, sculptural coffee tables and low-slung beds sit inside a calm, contemporary edit. The palette skews earthy and tonal, with enough texture to keep minimalism from feeling sterile. It’s a smart stop for apartment upgrades, family homes and anyone chasing Australian-designed furniture that feels current without tipping into trend-chasing inside its Burwood Highway showroom.

169 Burwood Highway, Hawthorn

Coco Flip

Coco Flip brings a distinctly Melbourne sense of play to furniture and lighting, balancing rounded forms, rich materiality and modernist restraint. From its Northcote studio, the brand creates pieces that feel collectable without losing their usefulness: sculptural pendants, generous tables, characterful stools and bespoke commissions with a crafted, tactile finish. It’s a favourite for design lovers chasing Australian-made pieces with warmth, wit and an artful point of difference.

161 Heidelberg Road, Northcote 

Casa Blanco

Casa Blanco does not do background furniture. Inside its vast Cremorne showroom, low-slung sofas, monolithic stone tables, curved chairs and chandeliers built for double-height ceilings command the industrial shell. Founded by three siblings, the Australian label works in richly veined marble, reclaimed oak, velvet and antique brass, creating pieces that can carry an entire room. Arrive for a dining table, leave mentally replacing every timid object you own.

56/60 Gwynne Street, Cremorne

MCM House

MCM House has become shorthand for the beautifully relaxed Australian interior. Its Armadale flagship layers cloud-like linen sofas, weighty stone tables, sculptural timber and softly lit objects into rooms that feel ready to move into. Founded by Charles Hinckfuss, the label favours generous proportions and natural materials over anything stiff or overly styled. This is the place to furnish an entire living room without it ever looking as though you bought the set.

1066-1076 High Street, Armadale

Huset

Ready to graduate from IKEA flatpacks? Huset is a Melbourne furniture store bringing Scandinavian design into sharper focus, with original pieces sourced from Europe and a strong lean towards clean timber lines, clever proportions and enduring craftsmanship. Its Cheltenham showroom covers the full interior sweep, from dining tables, sofas and storage to flooring, pendant lighting, art and home décor. Go here for furniture that feels calm, practical and beautifully made, without veering into cold minimalism or catalogue-room sameness.

236 Centre Dandenong Road, Cheltenham

Cult Design

Cult Design is a serious name in contemporary furniture, with an Abbotsford showroom that reads like a roll call of design-world heavyweights. You’ll find Danish icons from Fritz Hansen and Louis Poulsen, Italian classics by Poltrona Frau, Zanotta and Cappellini, and a strong edit of Australian talent. With sustainability, authenticity and craftsmanship at its core, Cult is made for anyone chasing investment pieces with pedigree, presence and a lasting place at home.

16/28 Duke Street, Abbotsford

James Said

James Said is Armadale at its most theatrical, a two-level High Street showroom devoted to furniture with scale, sheen and full drama. Founder Bethany James’ Hollywood Regency lens runs through the edit, from chandeliers, bar cabinets and carved coffee tables to beds, casegoods, wall art and custom pieces. It’s the stop for interiors that refuse beige restraint, with an in-house design service to pull the whole room together beautifully without ever going timid or bland.

926-930 High Street, Armadale

Grandfather’s Axe

Grandfather’s Axe is Collingwood’s temple to mid-century furniture, with one of Australia’s largest collections of vintage modernist design. Owner Ed Klein sources pieces from Denmark, Scandinavia, Europe and closer to home, then restores them in the Smith Street workshop with a light, respectful touch. Expect teak sideboards, Danish dining chairs, leather lounges, and pieces with provenance, patina, and stories worth taking home, alongside the furniture.

360-364 Smith Street, Collingwood 

Jardan

Jardan is a Richmond design heavyweight, shaping Melbourne-made furniture around generous proportions, modernist lines and real-life ease. Its two-storey Church Street flagship feels closer to a lived-in design residence than a standard showroom, moving through sofas, dining settings, beds, rugs, lighting and homewares with a distinctly Australian rhythm. Guided by considered materials and local manufacturing, Jardan is where to go for pieces with longevity, softness and substance.

522 Church Street, Richmond

Fenton & Fenton

Fenton & Fenton has never mistaken restraint for good taste. Lucy Fenton’s Prahran showroom is a vivid collision of sculptural furniture, handwoven rugs, ceramics, mirrors, original Australian art and singular pieces gathered with a traveller’s eye. Colours arrive saturated, silhouettes skew unexpected and nothing has been chosen to disappear into the background. Visit when a room needs a sharper point of view, or when another cream armchair simply will not do. It’s south of the river’s antidote to beige, and we whole-heartedly approve the message.

471 High Street, Prahran

Great Dane

Great Dane is Fitzroy’s shrine to Scandinavian design, where clean lines, natural materials and serious craftsmanship do all the talking. The Johnston Street showroom brings together handpicked pieces from some of Denmark’s most revered design houses, including work by Hans Wegner, Nanna Ditzel and Børge Mogensen. From string shelving and marble coffee tables to sculptural sofas and dining chairs, every piece feels spare, tactile and made to outlast the trend cycle.

175 Johnston Street, Fitzroy 

Living Edge

Living Edge is where Melbourne’s architects, interior designers and detail-obsessed renovators go for furniture with international pedigree. Its Richmond showroom brings together design icons and future classics from leading global brands, spanning sofas, dining tables, lighting, workstations, storage and outdoor pieces. The edit is sleek, architectural, and highly considered, equally suited to a single-hero chair, a full-home refresh, or a large-scale commercial project with serious design intent.

650 Church Street, Richmond 

Tait

Tait gives outdoor furniture the same design weight as the rest of the home. Founded by Susan and Gordon Tait, the Fitzroy brand creates Australian-made pieces built for sun, rain, salt air and long lunches outside. You’ll find dining tables, lounge chairs, benches, stools, drinks trolleys and fire pits, all shaped by clean lines, durable materials and a mid-century sensibility.

209 – 211 Smith Street, Fitzroy
