Ikea brings Planning Studio offering to Singapore
Ikea has opened a “first of its kind” Planning Studio in Singapore.
This is a smaller store where shoppers can find home furnishing advice and expertise to help design their ideal spaces.
“In partnership with LivSpace, we are first in the world to offer our customers complete renovation and interior design services – from planning a space with 3D simulation technology to providing plumbing, electrical, flooring and anything else needed to make home furnishing dreams come true,” the retailer said in a LInkedIn post.
It added: “We livestreamed the celebration to co-workers as the project team opened this new business with a ceremonial rolling of pineapples – a local housewarming tradition that is akin to rolling good luck and prosperity into our new business venture.”
“There will be more to come as we meet new homeowners and take position in the country’s multi-million-dollar home renovation market.”
UK stores
Along with all its UK stores, Ikea’s London Tottenham Court Road Planning Studio is currently closed due to the latest UK coronavirus lockdown.
Customers can still, however, shop online for home delivery.
