Royal Interiors charts a new chapter with a showroom concept that displays furnishings from leading European brands
It took a fateful trip to Italy to cement Suresh Nandwani’s decision to kickstart his journey into furniture retail. The founder of Royal Interiors had visited the famed Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan, and instantly fell in love with the collections that were on show; he saw an opportunity to introduce European brands to Singapore, which were then still lesser known in the local market.
The enterprising founder, who is also the third-generation successor to luxury upholstery textile business Royal Fabrics, took the chance to provide furnishing and interior design services to existing customers of the family business from 2009 to 2013. Another milestone was achieved in 2014 when the entrepreneur opened the brand’s first Royal Interiors showroom at Tan Boon Liat Building.

Since then, the business has grown from strength to strength. In April 2021, it opened a street-facing showroom, thus expanding its total footprint in the building to 21,000sqft, spread across four levels. Here, Nandwani tells us more about the next steps for the company and the notable brands in its portfolio.
