Where to Buy Affordable Home Decor in Lahore, Karachi & Islamabad: Complete Shopping Guide

Finding quality home decor and furniture at reasonable prices in Pakistan can feel overwhelming. You’ve got high-end stores with luxury prices, local markets where quality varies wildly, and online options you’re not sure you can trust. Whether you’re furnishing a new home in Lahore, upgrading your Karachi apartment, or looking for specific pieces in Islamabad, this guide shows you exactly where to shop for the best value.

Best Places to Buy Furniture and Home Decor in Pakistan

Hall Road, Lahore

Hall Road remains the largest furniture hub in Lahore and possibly all of Pakistan. This sprawling area contains hundreds of shops selling everything from budget beds to custom-made luxury pieces. You’ll find complete bedroom sets, dining tables, sofas, office furniture, and home accessories all in one location. The advantage here is choice and negotiation power—shop owners expect you to bargain, and prices can drop 15-20% from the initial quote. Quality varies significantly, so inspect joints, finishes, and materials carefully before buying. Best time to visit is weekday mornings when it’s less crowded and vendors are more willing to negotiate.

Tariq Road and Hyderi Market, Karachi

Tariq Road is Karachi’s answer to Hall Road, offering concentrated furniture shopping with multiple stores on a single street. You’ll find modern designs, traditional carved pieces, and everything in between. Nearby Hyderi Market specializes more in home accessories, textiles, curtains, and smaller decor items. Together, these areas cover most of your home furnishing needs. Parking can be challenging, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly or use ride-sharing services.

Jinnah Super and F-10 Markaz, Islamabad

Islamabad’s furniture shopping centers around Jinnah Super and F-10 Markaz, where both branded stores and local shops operate. The advantage here is a mix of organized retail stores with fixed pricing and local shops where negotiation is possible. You’ll find InterWood, Habitt, and other established brands alongside smaller vendors offering competitive prices. The atmosphere is less hectic than Lahore or Karachi markets, making it easier to browse without pressure.

Liberty Market, Lahore

While Liberty Market is famous for fabric and clothing, it’s an excellent source for home textiles and decorative items. Visit here for curtain fabrics, cushion covers, bedding, table runners, embroidered pieces, and traditional Pakistani textiles like ajrak and block prints. Many shops offer stitching services, so you can buy fabric and have curtains or cushion covers made to your exact measurements. Prices are generally reasonable, and the quality of craftsmanship is high. For DIY enthusiasts, Liberty offers raw materials perfect for our wall decor projects under PKR 5,000.

Zainab Market, Karachi

Zainab Market in Saddar is Karachi’s textile hub, similar to Liberty in Lahore. You’ll find beautiful fabrics, readymade curtains, bedding sets, and traditional handicrafts. The market has both wholesale and retail sections, and buying in slightly larger quantities often gets you wholesale pricing. This is your go-to place for refreshing bedroom textiles seasonally without spending too much.

Branded Furniture Stores

InterWood

InterWood operates showrooms across major Pakistani cities and offers consistent quality with fixed pricing. Their range includes bedroom furniture, living room sets, dining tables, office furniture, and modular kitchens. While prices are higher than local markets, you get after-sales service, warranties, and reliable delivery. They frequently run sales, especially around Eid and year-end, when you can get 20-30% discounts. Their online store offers the same products with home delivery, making it convenient if you can’t visit showrooms. Check our sofa buying guide for specific InterWood recommendations.​

Habitt

Habitt focuses on modern, minimalist designs perfect for contemporary Pakistani homes. With stores in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Hyderabad, they offer affordable furniture with free assembly and delivery services. Their online shopping platform is user-friendly, and customer reviews indicate reliable delivery timelines. Habitt’s furniture works particularly well in smaller apartments where space-saving designs matter.​

ChenOne Home

Part of the larger ChenOne retail chain, their home section offers furniture, textiles, decorative accessories, and kitchen items under one roof. Quality is generally good, and sales happen regularly. The advantage is convenience—you can buy your sofa, curtains, bedding, and kitchen accessories in a single shopping trip without bouncing between different markets.

Ideas by Gul Ahmed

Leveraging Gul Ahmed’s textile expertise, Ideas offers furniture with superior upholstery fabrics and a good selection of home accessories. Their stores have a curated feel with complete room setups that help you visualize how pieces work together. Prices sit in the mid to upper-mid range, but fabric quality justifies the cost.​

Online Shopping Options

Daraz.pk

Pakistan’s largest online marketplace offers furniture, home decor, textiles, and accessories from multiple sellers. The advantage is comparison shopping—you can check prices across different vendors instantly. Read seller ratings and customer reviews carefully before ordering. Daraz sales events (11.11, 12.12, Black Friday) offer significant discounts on furniture and decor. Delivery times vary by seller, and assembly is usually not included unless specified.

HomeShopping.pk

This online-focused furniture retailer ships nationwide and often has better prices than physical stores because they don’t maintain expensive showrooms. Their customer service is responsive, and product photos tend to be accurate. Assembly instructions come with deliveries, though you may need to hire someone locally for complex pieces. Their range includes budget to mid-range furniture suitable for most Pakistani homes.​

Brand Websites

InterWood, Habitt, and other established brands have their own e-commerce platforms with exclusive online discounts. Buying directly from brand websites often includes better warranties and clearer return policies than third-party marketplaces.

Budget Home Decor Stores

Miniso

Japanese-inspired Miniso stores in major Pakistani cities offer affordable home accessories, storage solutions, small furniture items, and decorative pieces. While not everything is high quality, items like picture frames, vases, organizers, and small plants are good value. Prices range from PKR 300 to PKR 5,000 for most items.

Al-Fatah Home Sections

Al-Fatah shopping malls have dedicated home sections selling furniture, decor, kitchen items, and storage solutions. Their house brand offers surprisingly good value on basics like side tables, storage units, and simple seating. Quality isn’t luxury level, but for temporary solutions or guest room furniture, it works well.

Local Hardware Stores

Don’t overlook hardware stores for certain items. You’ll find affordable mirrors, shelving units, storage solutions, basic lighting, and DIY materials at better prices than dedicated home stores. This is where you should shop for materials if you’re following our bedroom decorating ideas on a budget.

Shopping Tips for Pakistani Markets

Know When to Negotiate

In local markets like Hall Road, Tariq Road, and smaller shops, always negotiate. Start by asking for the “best price” rather than accepting the first quote. Expect to settle around 10-20% below the initial asking price. In branded stores with fixed pricing (InterWood, ChenOne, Habitt), negotiation won’t work, but ask about upcoming sales or clearance sections.

Inspect Before You Buy

Check furniture joints—they should be sturdy without wobbling. Look at wood finishes for evenness and smoothness. Test drawers and doors to ensure they open smoothly. For upholstered items, check stitching quality and fabric type. Press down on cushions to test foam density. If shopping online, read return policies carefully and keep all packaging until you’ve thoroughly inspected delivered items.

Measure Everything Twice

Before shopping, measure your rooms, doorways, stairwells, and elevators. Many furniture pieces purchased in showrooms don’t fit through apartment doors or narrow staircases. Bring a measuring tape when shopping and verify dimensions of any piece you’re considering. According to The Spruce’s furniture buying guide, proper measurements prevent 80% of furniture delivery problems.

Ask About Delivery and Assembly

Confirm delivery charges before finalizing purchases. Some stores include delivery and assembly, others charge extra, and many local market vendors only provide delivery without assembly help. For complex items like storage beds or modular wardrobes, professional assembly is worth paying for. Get delivery timelines in writing—promised “2 weeks” often becomes 4-6 weeks in reality.

Shop During Sale Seasons

Major sales happen around Eid (both Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha), Pakistan Day (March 23), Independence Day (August 14), Black Friday (November), and year-end clearances (December). Discounts can reach 30-50% off regular prices. However, popular items sell out quickly during sales, so shop early in the sale period.

Consider Custom-Made Options

For odd-sized spaces or specific design requirements, local carpenters can create custom furniture at competitive prices. Visit Hall Road or Tariq Road and ask for recommendations to trusted carpenters. Bring exact measurements, inspiration photos, and a clear budget. Custom pieces take longer (4-8 weeks typically) but fit perfectly and often cost less than branded alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy furniture in Pakistan?

Local furniture markets like Hall Road in Lahore or Tariq Road in Karachi offer the lowest prices, especially if you negotiate well. Online platform HomeShopping.pk also offers competitive pricing. However, always balance price with quality—very cheap furniture often doesn’t last.

Is it better to buy furniture online or from showrooms in Pakistan?

Showrooms let you see quality, test comfort, and verify colors in person. Online shopping offers better prices and convenience but comes with delivery uncertainty. For large items like sofas and beds, visiting showrooms is safer. For accessories and small furniture, online works well.

Which city has the best furniture markets in Pakistan?

Lahore’s Hall Road is the largest and most diverse furniture market. Karachi’s Tariq Road and Hyderi area offer similar variety with coastal design influences. Islamabad has fewer options but better organization and less chaotic shopping environments.

How much should I budget for furnishing a two-bedroom apartment in Pakistan?

Budget PKR 200,000-400,000 for basic quality furniture (beds, sofas, dining table, wardrobes, basics). Mid-range quality runs PKR 400,000-700,000. Premium furnishing can exceed PKR 1,000,000. Prices vary significantly based on city, brand choices, and whether you buy custom or readymade pieces.
