The Best Furniture Stores in Adelaide for a Considered Home
Whether you're after a statement sofa or the finishing touches, these are the Adelaide furniture stores worth building a room around.
Adelaide’s best furniture stores are the difference between filling a room and actually building one, whether that’s Jardan’s considered edit in the East End, Transforma’s fifty-year run in Norwood, or Living By Design’s affordable spread across the Hills, Barossa and Fleurieu. Coco Republic and Oscar & Willow round out the mix, one all Burnside Village polish, the other a curated corner of Unley. Here’s where to start.

The Best Furniture Stores in Adelaide: Designer and High-End
Jardan
Jardan’s Adelaide showroom is tucked down a laneway in the East End that feels more discovery than destination. The brand began as an upholstery workshop in 1987 and is still run by the Garnham family today, siblings Nick and Michael alongside creative director Renee, with every piece designed and made from their Melbourne studio and certified carbon neutral since 2014. Expect sofas, lighting and a considered homewares edit, plus design consultations for anyone starting from scratch.

Coco Republic
Coco Republic brings four decades of design pedigree to its Burnside Village showroom. Founded by Paul Spon-Smith in 1984, the brand leans on its award-winning in-house design service to bring plush sofas, handcrafted outdoor settings and full-room styling to South Australia. Trade professionals get their own dedicated program, and L’Americano, the brand’s in-house cafe, sits right alongside the showroom for anyone who needs to sit with a decision over coffee.

Estilo
Estilo has spent more than two decades building South Australia’s largest network of international and local designer furniture, lighting and lifestyle brands, from Herman Miller and Knoll through to GUBI, Muuto and Pedrali. Led by Lucy Visconti and Frank Mantovan, the Waymouth Street showroom serves everything from private homes to hospitality fit-outs and commercial projects, with the team on hand to talk through finishes, lead times and configurations before you commit to a piece.

Transforma
Transforma has spent more than fifty years quietly building Adelaide’s most convincing case for considered furniture, and its 1000-square-metre Norwood showroom is proof. Handcrafted, Adelaide-made pieces sit alongside European names like Bonaldo, Flos, Gubi and Rolf Benz across living, dining, bedroom and outdoor collections, with a personalised interior design service on hand to help translate it all into your own space.

BoConcept
BoConcept has been refining the same idea since 1952, when two Danish cabinetmakers set out to prove that simplicity and craftsmanship don’t have to compete. That founding ethos spans more than 300 stores worldwide, and three consecutive years as ‘Best Luxury Furniture and Homeware’ brand at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. The Norwood showroom lets you customise nearly everything, from modular sofas to extendable tables, with a complimentary design appointment to help make sense of the options.
Suburb: Norwood
Price Guide: Mid to High
Best For: Danish-designed, highly customisable furniture with a complimentary design appointment
FrancoCrea
FrancoCrea doesn’t believe in sales, and once you understand why, the logic is hard to argue with. Every timber table and leather armchair has been designed and made across Adelaide and Melbourne since 2013, name-plated and certified for authenticity, brought to life by founder Franco Crea, trained in interior design and recipient of the Premier’s Design Award, and refined through the brand’s own Design Concierge service. This is furniture built to be handed down, not marked down.

Best For: Made-to-order, name-plated heirloom furniture

Living By Design
What began as Mon Bowring’s small homewares shop in the Adelaide Hills in 2001 has grown into five stores across South Australia, after her son Tim and his wife Bec took over in 2014 and built Living By Design around one simple idea: luxury-look furniture shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag. The in-house design team sources from Europe, Denmark, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and Australia, and every order plants a tree through the brand’s partnership with Ecologi, with more than 150,000 planted to date.
Suburb: Norwood, plus Balhannah, Tanunda, Port Elliot and Victor Harbor
Price Guide: Affordable to Mid
Best For: Budget-friendly, in-house designed furniture sourced from Europe, Asia and Australia
The Best Furniture Stores in Adelaide: Frequently Asked Questions
Several of Adelaide’s leading furniture stores go beyond the showroom floor. Transforma, Oscar & Willow and BoConcept all offer in-house design consultations, pairing their collections with staff who can talk through layout, scale and material choices before you commit. It’s a genuinely useful step if you’re furnishing more than a single room, or simply want a second opinion on a big-ticket piece, and in most cases the initial consultation costs nothing but your time.
Living By Design is Adelaide’s answer to furniture that looks far more expensive than it is, with five stores across Norwood, the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and Fleurieu Peninsula. What started as a small Adelaide Hills homewares shop in 2001 became a family business in 2014, when Tim and Bec Bowring took over and built an in-house design team sourcing from Europe, Asia and Australia. It’s the natural starting point before working your way up to the city’s more premium designer showrooms.
FrancoCrea and Transforma both design and make their furniture locally, though they arrive at heirloom quality from different directions. FrancoCrea’s Adelaide studio name-plates and certifies every piece, and holds firm to a promise never to discount, protecting the value of what you buy. Transforma’s in-house collection is proudly made in the city too, sitting alongside a curated range of imported European brands for anyone wanting to mix local craftsmanship with international style under one roof.
BoConcept in Norwood is Adelaide’s dedicated address for Danish design, tracing back to a pair of cabinetmakers who opened their first workshop in 1952. Its in-store team can walk you through the brand’s customisation options, from modular sofa layouts to extendable dining tables, translating that founding ethos of simplicity and craftsmanship into a piece that actually fits your space. Whether you’re after one statement piece or a full room refresh, book a complimentary design appointment before you commit to anything.
For genuine design pedigree, Jardan, Coco Republic, Transforma and Estilo are the names worth knowing, spanning Melbourne-made craftsmanship in the East End to imported European luxury in Norwood and a multi-brand designer showroom on Waymouth Street. If you’re after something more curated and personal, Oscar & Willow in Unley brings together a considered, independent edit worth spending an afternoon in. And if budget is part of the brief, Living By Design proves affordable doesn’t have to mean anything less than considered, with five stores spanning Adelaide and regional South Australia.
