This place has adorable, kitchy items for the home/kitchen (think Fred and Friends type stuff)…read more Only con is that there is SO much stuff packed in here, so watch your bag and make sure you don't hit anything!!

There are 5 Homeless stores in the city but if you live in Kowloon, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is the…read moreone to go as it is the flagship branch. It is also less crowded than the branches on Hong Kong Island, so that's a plus. I consider it as in alternative to IKEA and Pricerite, especially when I want more quirkier home goods. Homeless has been going at it since 2003 when they had their first store. Two years later, they established their foothold in Hong Kong Island by opening a flagship store in Central. The most significant thing that I found out about furniture stores is the difference of how they make you feel at home. Homeless provides this atmosphere the most, with dim lighting and and a rustic feel. IKEA has it but mostly it feels like you are in a warehouse, while Pricerite is neat and clean that feels prefabricated. Aside from the furniture, my favorite thing about Homeless is the numerous choices of accessories. I have found pen stands, magnets, clothes hangers, and other cool bric-a-brac. The huge catalog that Homeless sells consists of lighting fixtures, various clocks, chairs and tables, art sculptures and kitchenware. They also carry niche furniture brands from Europe and Asia as well as other hard-to-find and obscure brands. I will be moving house late next year and plan to redecorate our flat with lots more of Homeless goodies this time around. Orders are also available through their official website but I recommend going to the various branches in town (especially the flagship stores) to get a feel of the product and how it may fit into your home.

We saw that there was an art installation of Grand So at this store, so we wandered to OVO and…read morecheck it out. This review is based on our experience at OVO Studio. Although it took us asking some questions of the nice staff person, we figured out the OVO brand in Hong Kong. So under the OVO umbrella, there is 1) OVO Home (modern, high end, custom made, oriental based furniture - located at 16 Queen's Road) 2) OVO Garden (floral design - located at 1 Wanchai Road) 3) OVO Cafe (vegetarian cuisine and coffee cafe - located at 1 Wanchai Road and also at 173 Des Voeux Road Central) 4) OVO W Hotels (OVO has a partnership with and operates the gift shop at the W Hotel in Hong Kong) 5) OVO Studio (some furniture, lighting, art, jewelry, pillows, gift ideas, etc. - located at 1 Wanchai Road OVO Studio carries a variety of simple chic and cutting edge contemporary collections designed for home or gifts. We thought this store was amazing, current, up to date and was up our alley on all things home decor, contemporary and cool. From hand made throw pillows of the animals of the zodiac to unique jewelry to funky cake plates and urban lighting and fun furniture....they have two floors of all sorts of fun things for the home. They also had an exhibition of the local artist Grand So, which we thought was a cool use of the space to add to their product line. The building where OVO is located was once a local market, so we enjoyed showing patronage to any company that embraced urban renewal and reuse of an old building.

From the owner: Profoundly influenced by his love of antiques, his father's military background, and an inherent…read moreaffection for British heritage, Tim created an authentic, visionary brand with the deepest integrity and a passion to deliver the extraordinary. Handcrafted with only the best traditional techniques and fabrications, each Timothy Oulton piece is inspired by the past, but reconceived from a modern perspective, producing uniquely authentic collections which push the boundaries of furniture design.

I'm not quite sure why this Homeless has "sidekick" at the end, but either way it's such a lovely…read morelittle shop in CWB. You can find some furniture pieces here (think sideboards, shelves, and small desks), but this store focuses mostly on home decor. There was so much here that I loved, but if I had to narrow it down I was a fan of their lamps, mugs, and leather stuffed animals. I would certainly buy a ton of shit here, but unfortunately I have no space for such luxuries! :( Definitely a great spot to visit if you're looking for contemporary design, quirky decor, or a nice gift for someone.
