The Homestead Story
Our Past, Present and Future
Our History


The Homestead Group traces its beginnings to 1984, when Founder LOW Siew Thiam started Homestead Furniture, one of Singapore’s first Big-Box retailers catering to the country’s growing middle-class. By the 1990s, Homestead achieved household name status and was the No.3 ranked furniture retailer in Singapore next to IKEA and Courts. In the mid-1990s, Homestead expanded into Interior Design and was the showhome designer for private development projects by major property developers like Capitaland, Keppel Land, MCL Land, and others.
