13 Storage Spaces in Singapore To Put All Your Extra Barang So Your Home Stays Aesthetic

Storage spaces in Singapore

We all dream of living in that TikTok house tour-worthy house, filled with pretty furniture and not a shred of clutter to ruin the aesthetic. But when you’re working with 1,300sqft or less and a lifetime’s worth of barang, even the best storage hacks and space-saving furniture can only do so much.

The answer to all your storage needs is to rent a self-storage unit in Singapore. Whether you just need a small locker for documents, a space to keep your furniture during a home reno, or a long-term storage solution while you’re out of the country being a digital nomad, there are plenty of affordable storage spaces in Singapore from as low as $X/month.

Here are 13 of the best storage spaces in Singapore to stash your stuff, so your home stays looking like a Pinterest board.

What is a storage space rental?

Storage space rental has become increasingly popular, especially in Singapore, since most of us have limited space in our homes. You can use these spaces to store almost anything you want – from excess household items to even large pieces of furniture.

Storage spaces can also be used by businesses to keep extra inventory. However, there are some things which aren’t allowed, such as chemicals, radioactive materials, hazardous substances – you get the picture.

The pricing of each storage unit is heavily dependent on various factors – the storage facility, the size that you’re renting, and the duration of your rental. Generally, for most of these facilities, the longer you store your items, the lower the rates. The size of these rental spaces ranges from a box’s worth of storage space to the equivalent of a bedroom.

Although you are paying money for the space, you aren’t allowed to do anything you want with it. This means that you aren’t allowed to live there or set up your office. The space should be used solely for storage purposes only.

15 Best Aircon Servicing Companies In Singapore To Save You From The Tropical Heat

TSL — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 16:08:43 +0000

Best aircon servicing in Singapore

Singapore’s unrelenting humid weather means that for many of us, our aircon units work overtime to make our homes more comfortable. If you’ve noticed that your aircon is in need of a little more loving, these 14 aircon servicing companies will get it up and running in no time.

Why you should service your aircon at least once a year

Other than to ensure consistent, fresh cool air in your home throughout the year, servicing your aircon system regularly helps to prolong the lifespan of your aircon and increase its efficiency as well. Bacteria can build up in your aircon, and servicing helps to improve your air quality, which in turn improves your respiratory health.

Plus, waiting till problems arise before addressing them can also be more costly.

How often you service your aircon depends on the frequency of usage and the climate as well. In hot and humid Singapore, we’re recommended to service our aircon units once every 3 months if we’re frequent users. But if you’re the kind of person who only uses your aircon occasionally, at least once a year would be good enough.

How to tell if your aircon is not working properly

Keep an eye out for these telltale signs and quickly call a serviceman before it gets worse:

Your aircon is leaking water.
Airflow from your aircon is restricted and/or air expelled is not cold.
Your aircon smells musty.

Types of air conditioning services

General servicing is the most common service. It’ll rid your aircon of dust that has accumulated by cleaning it inside out. Your technician will apply grease lubricant if necessary, and also make sure that there aren’t any weird noises or loose wires.

Chemical servicing is similar, with the only difference being that everything is dismantled and washed with a chemical solution. You’re recommended to do chemical servicing at least twice a year.

You’ll typically only engage overhaul services and gas top-ups to repair a malfunctioning aircon. Your aircon will be dismantled and checked thoroughly, and parts that are not working will be repaired or replaced. If your unit is leaking or not producing cold air, the specialist might recommend a gas top-up.

1. Urban Company

Special FoamJet technology to clear dirt & grime comprehensively

Those who’ve ever dealt with an aircon that leaks or straight-up does not cool the room down know that a faulty aircon is a major hassle, and painful on your wallet to fix. Prevention is certainly better than cure when it comes to routine aircon servicing and upkeep, and Urban Company’s FoamJet service is more thorough than traditional servicing, despite costing just $20/unit.

Image credit: Urban Company

Foam is used to break down dust and grime stuck in your aircon, before a jet spray washes it all away. This ensures that both the front and back of the aircon evaporator coils are thoroughly cleaned, as compared to traditional cleaning which only dry-cleans the front portion. The result is up to 2 times stronger airflow, proven by an anemometer reading after your cleaning session.

View this post on Instagram

You’ll get before and after servicing shots of your aircon uploaded onto the Urban Company app for you to marvel at the results even after the session. Don’t worry about hardselling or being pressured to buy packages either, as Urban Company technicians are trained to get in, get the job done, and get out. And if you’re in need of urgent repairs, a technician can be sent down as quickly as 30 minutes from the time of your booking!

New Urban Company users can enter the promo code when booking via the app to get $10 off their first FoamJet aircon servicing.

Price: From $20/unit for FoamJet Aircon servicing

End of tenancy house cleaning

Those who have moved houses before know that it can be super stressful, especially if you’re moving out of a rental unit. Most tenancy agreements will state that you have to hand over your room or apartment in good condition – if not, you risk having your security deposit forfeited.

To ensure your handover process goes smoothly, call the team at Auntie Cleaner, who specialise in moving-out cleaning services.

Mattresses in Singapore

If we had to pick our favourite place in the world, the answer for many of us would be our beds. After all, it’s where we spend most of our time recharging, bingeing on Netflix shows, or just being the ultimate potato.

While that’s many hours spent in dreamland, many of us don’t spend enough time or energy selecting a good mattress. So for your next mattress purchase, check out this guide on how to pick a mattress in Singapore, to find the perfect one that’ll suit your needs:

Tips when buying a mattress in Singapore

Check for mattress return policies. Some retailers like Haylee offer up to 100 days of free trials
Read the terms of additional warranty purchase carefully, as they usually only cover manufacturing defects
Ask about extra fees like transport and delivery before purchase. Some vendors charge for things like lifting mattresses up the stairs if it doesn’t fit into the lift
Get a mattress protector to protect the bed from stains; especially useful for ladies during Aunt Flo’s monthly visit

Types of mattresses in Singapore

Those who’ve never bought a mattress likely have them split into 2 categories in their heads: a) foam, b) everything else. But there are several more to choose from, including mattresses filled with air and even water! Here are the mattress types in Singapore you can get:

Mattress Type	Good For	Lifespan	Cost
Memory foam mattress	Side sleepers, soothing “sinking” sensation	6-10 years	$$$
Latex foam mattress	Light sleepers, cooling while sleeping	15-25 years	$$-$$$
Innerspring mattress	Those on a budget	7-10 years	$
Pocket coil innerspring mattress	Ergonomic back support	7-10 years	$$
Hybrid mattress	Customisation	Varies	$$$
Waterbed	Novelty	10-15 years	$$$
Air mattress	Temporary bed	6-8 years	$

Memory foam mattress

If there’s one type you’ve probably heard of, it’s memory foam. Soft, plush, and made with polyurethane that conforms to your body shape, this mattress is the closest thing you’ll get to that childhood dream of sleeping on a cloud.

Fun fact: it was first developed to support NASA astronauts during lift off, so you can be sure that this will provide you with the support you need for your back and pressure points.

However, as the material cocoons around you, it also traps heat. Consider customising the bed with a cooling gel on top of the memory foam mattress, an option available at larger retailers such as King Koil.

Good for: Side sleepers, soothing “sinking” sensation when you lie down
Lifespan: Up to 6-10 years
Price: $$$

Latex foam mattress

There are lots of things that can keep us awake at night, including existential crises and monsters under our beds. But some things can be fixed with a latex mattress – such as the problem of being awakened at ungodly hours by a bedfellow who tosses and turns.

Good news for light sleepers, latex mattresses have zero motion transfer, so you’ll feel little to no movement on your side of the bed, no matter how restless the other person is. It also traps less heat, so you’ll be less likely to wake up drenched in sweat.

To top it all off, it’s also an eco-friendly option for those who prefer something a little more natural as it’s typically made of organic materials such as rubber tree sap.

However, since they are slightly firmer than memory foam, latex mattresses don’t provide as much support for pressure point relief and weight distribution.

Good for: Light sleepers, those who sweat easily or are easily awakened by movements
Lifespan: 15-25 years
Price: $$-$$$

Innerspring mattress

Image credit: Mattress For All

The OG type of mattress, innerspring is what your parents likely used back in the day – you may remember jumping on it as if it were a trampoline.

Incorporating coil-shaped metal springs, these beds are typically very bouncy, basically a dream-turned-reality for active kiddos. The downside? Motion transfer is often very high, so you’ll feel any wave of movement rippling through the bed.

Support is typically decent, but firmness varies across brands and models. If you’re just looking for something fuss-free to crash on, this will be one of the cheapest mattress options that can easily be purchased from most furniture stores in Singapore.

Good for: Those on a budget
Lifespan: 7-10 years
Price: $

Pocket coil innerspring mattress

Image credit: Boutique Opulence

Essentially an innerspring mattress 2.0, the pocket coil innerspring mattress is an improved version of conventional innerspring mattresses that provide better weight support and consistent firmness throughout the bed.

Also known as pocketed spring mattresses or pocketed innersprings, its defining trait is its coiled springs that are grouped in clusters called “pockets”, so each part of the bed holds its own in terms of firmness and support.

Good for: Those who need more ergonomic back support, such as older folks suffering from backaches
Lifespan: 7-10 years
Price: $$

Hybrid mattress

Many spring mattresses sold these days are also hybrid, meaning they come with a layer of another material to add more cushioning and make the bed feel snuggier for a good night’s rest. Common combinations include memory foam-innerspring and latex-innerspring mattresses to give you the best of both worlds.

Good for: Those who want to customise their beds to the perfect firmness
Lifespan: Varies
Price: $$$

Waterbed

Image credit: Mattress Review

Instead of the typical foam or innerspring, what you’ll get with a waterbed mattress is about 300-900 litres of water. You’ll actually be sleeping on water – that’s not something everyone can say they’ve tried!

Waterbeds are said to conform to your body shape, provide that dreamy sensation of floating on water, and help with health problems such as arthritis, backaches and insomnia.

But like having a pool or bathtub, maintenance for one won’t be easy. You’ll have to call for regular maintenance to avoid having any leaks. Choices are also pretty limited in Singapore, with no dedicated physical retailers at the moment, so you’ll likely have to order one online from platforms like Amazon.

Good for: A novelty experience
Lifespan: 10-15 years
Price: $$$

Air mattress

Image credit: Choose Mattress

Unlike the other types of mattresses in this list, air mattresses are more for temporary sleeping arrangements – such as when you’ve got guests over and don’t want to just offer the ol’ couch. Great for those living in constricted BTOs, these are a handy option to have tucked away in the storeroom, ready to be inflated whenever needed.

Good for: Use as a temporary guest bed
Lifespan: 6-8 years

Singapore mattress size guide

Bed frames and mattresses in Singapore follow the European size chart below:

If you’re ordering a bed frame or mattress from overseas, such as from the U.S., make sure to check the dimensions, as Singapore mattress sizes tend to follow a different size chart from one we typically use here.

Pro-tip: When planning the design of your bedroom, remember to match your mattress size to the dimensions of the bed – it’s a common blind spot for most new homeowners!

Which mattress is best for back support?

Some of us would love to come home and fall right into the embrace of the softest bed possible. Others prefer something a little firmer for a little more support. If you’re uncertain about which mattress to select, we’ve outlined the advantages of both firm and soft mattresses to pick the best mattress for your back and sleeping position.

Firm mattresses provide better support for your back and help prevent your body from sinking too much into the bed. This makes it a popular mattress for back sleepers, as the firmness helps with spine alignment, reducing the risk of back pain. They also provide a more even weight distribution, lowering the chances of developing pressure sores as you sleep.

That being said, not everyone may appreciate the feeling of sleeping on a firmer surface. Softer mattresses, due to their comfort, are often easier to adapt to. They are particularly forgiving for side sleepers, as they provide better cushioning that alleviates pressure on the neck and shoulders. However, they may not necessarily provide the best support for the spine, especially for back or stomach sleepers.

In short, picking the right mattress all boils down to your personal preference at the end of the day. Look out for the mattress firmness scale, rated from 1 to 10, with 6.5 being the middle ground that would work for most people.

One way to pick the best mattress for you is to match it to the level of support needed for different sleeping positions:

Soft (3-5): side-sleepers
Medium (6-7): back sleepers
Firm (8-9): stomach sleepers

Other things to look out for include your weight – consider getting something firmer for more support if you’re on the heavier side. Personal preference plays a part as well, and if you’re getting a new mattress for granny, remember that older folks tend to require a firmer mattress for better back support!

8 Ways To Make Your Home Appliances Last Longer So You Don’t Have To Spend Money On New Ones

Michelle P — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 03:44:49 +0000

Ways to reduce e-waste at home

The truth about modern appliances is that they are not made to last very long, and it’s often more cost efficient to replace, rather than repair, them. However, this gives rise to a bigger problem: e-waste – one of the fastest-growing streams of solid waste in the world according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), containing toxic materials and producing toxic chemicals if improperly recycled.

Set aside factors beyond the consumer’s control, such as planned obsolescence and increasingly complex technology, and you’ll have to admit: we put our appliances through very hard use. But as with all things, we can take steps to make our home appliances last longer, so we don’t have to spend money on new ones, and to do our part to reduce e-waste.

1. Turn off your electronic gadgets when not in use

Leaving them on 24/7 reduces their lifespans

Image credit: Canva Pro

Hands up if you’re guilty of leaving your computer or TV on standby mode in between uses. News flash: not only does this consume what’s known as phantom power, it also impacts the longevity of your appliances.

Even in standby mode, the appliances are still running, which means that they’re still susceptible to electrical stress, and heat is still being generated within the appliances. This continued heat and stress load on the machine eats away at its parts, albeit at a slower pace, leading to accelerated degradation. Turning your appliances off when they’re not in use allows them to completely cool down in between uses, and catch a break.

2. Avoid overpacking your appliances

Stuffing your washing machine or fridge puts unnecessary strain on the motors

Image credit: Canva Pro

Overload any machine, and it’s bound to break down. This goes for the appliances we use at home too – in particular, the washing machine, fridge, and if you have one, the dryer too. It’s more straightforward to see why the washing machine and dryer would meet an early demise; their motors have to work harder to spin the drums, and the extra weight and agitation causes strain on the machines.

Image credit: Canva Pro

Then, you have your household refrigerator and freezers. It’s tempting to maximise the space on every shelf, but stuffing your fridge full to the brim blocks the air vents at the back of this appliance, and gets in the way of the airflow within. In case you didn’t know, this circulation of air is what keeps your fridge at a constant temperature, so when it’s too crowded inside, the compressors have to work harder.

However, do note that just as a too-full fridge can overwork its motors, a fridge that’s left empty is also not recommended. Air, as opposed to solid items, loses its cold much faster, so it’s extra sensitive to changes in temperature, for example when you open the fridge. With every temperature fluctuation, its internal thermostat is reactivated, putting the compressors to work. It’s recommended that you put jugs or bottles of water in the fridge at the very least, rather than have it empty.

3. Regularly clean your appliances

Dirt & dust can cause blockages & build-up

Image credit: Canva Pro

When we say “regularly clean your appliances” we don’t just mean their exteriors. This goes beyond the aesthetics, instead referring to their insides. The accumulation of dust, dirt, and debris over time can clog up parts of your appliances, such as the air vents and filters, causing them to work harder.

Where cooking or food is involved, in appliances like your stove, oven, microwave, cooker hood, and dishwasher, the build-up of grease and bits of food does the same. It also extends to your washing machine and dryer, where drainage ports and drums will be put under pressure when you don’t clear them of lint and soap scum regularly.

Not only do some of these blockages cause premature wear and tear, but they also become fire hazards, and lead to increased energy consumption.

4. Service your appliances routinely

Worn-out gaskets & parts cause appliances to break down sooner

Image credit: Canva Pro

Just as a fraying bag strap snaps sooner than an undamaged one, worn-out parts cause your home appliances to reach end-of-life with more haste. With routine servicing of your appliances, you’ll be notified of gaskets and parts that are wearing out, and need to be replaced. It also ensures that your appliance is running optimally, which all in all, will help to extend its shelf life.

It may seem like a small fix to replace just one part of your appliance, but it stops the problem from snowballing into a larger one, or in the worst case, a complete breakdown, which then means you’ll have to buy a replacement.

5. Use the correct detergent & quantity

Residue can reduce efficacy & spoil the appliance

Image credit: Canva Pro

Your washing machine may be the first thing that comes to mind, but there are other household appliances that also require the use of detergent, such as electric mops dishwashers. It’s very important to adhere to the recommended amounts of detergent you should add to these appliances, because using more detergent doesn’t mean your appliance is cleaner.

Washing your clothes with too much detergent can lead to residue on the washed clothes that feels sticky, and might irritate your skin. P.S.: On the contrary, using too much soap reduces its efficacy, so your clothes don’t actually end up fresher.

Similarly, the excessive soap suds during the wash cycle, as well as the remaining residue, will collect and clog up the machine. This can also happen when you use the wrong detergent – ICYMI, front-loading and top-loading washing machines use different detergents.

For those of us who have dishwashers, this means that you can’t put your liquid dish soap into the machine, because it suds up differently as compared to a dishwasher-specific soap. And as for electric mops, it’s necessary to rinse out the parts between use, since the soap residue will clog them up – even if you did use the right amount.

6. Treat appliances with care

Rough use can lead to premature wear & tear

Image credit: Kitchenaid

A most fundamental way to ensure your home appliances don’t meet a premature end is to use them with care. Just as regular maintenance, as stated above, can keep them in good condition, the way you use them does help them to serve you for longer.

Slamming your refrigerator and washing machine doors, frequently using your stand mixer or food processor till they overheat, or violently yanking the plugs out of the sockets can all cause premature wear and tear, and shorten the lifespans of your appliances. This isn’t to say you should treat them like they’ll break at any moment, but they would definitely thank you for not smacking them around, and give you the value you paid for.

7. Turn on your oven at least once a week

Prevent moisture collecting on heating elements

Image credit: Canva Pro

Moving on to more appliance-specific measures, we start with the oven, which might come already built-in with your flat. Even if it is a white elephant in your kitchen, eclipsed by the convenience of an air fryer, you ought to turn it on at least once weekly – especially in Singapore.

Our humid climate causes moisture to accumulate on the heating elements in the oven. After long periods of unuse, this moisture will inevitably cause the oven – and maybe even the house – to trip. By turning on the oven regularly, the heating element will be able to evaporate off any moisture that has collected. This protects the oven from constantly tripping, which in turn saves it from an early end, since every time it trips, it’s an electrical overload on the appliance.

If you’re just turning the oven on without cooking in it, switch it on, and set it to a low temperature of about 50°C for 15 minutes, before gradually turning up the heat to 150°C for another 5 minutes or so, just to allow more moisture to evaporate.

8. Defrost your freezer regularly

Frost build-up causes increased power consumption & shortens its lifespan

Image credit: Canva Pro

Then, there’s the freezer, which we’ll admit is very shiok to stand in front of with the door open. Unfortunately, that’s one sure way to contribute to the frost build-up in that compartment of your fridge. When there’s warm, moist air in the freezer, it turns into cold water droplets which freeze on the walls, shelves, air vents, and even in the evaporator coils that you can’t see. In our climate, this would definitely happen every time you open the freezer.

Firstly, the frost build-up causes increased electrical consumption as the freezer works harder to maintain the temperature in spite of the blocked air vents. If left untreated, the cooling fan and coils might get damaged, perhaps even beyond repair. More immediately, there’s also the reduction of storage space, potential of freezer burn on your food, and even a foul smell.

Other than positioning your freezer away from heat sources and not stuffing it too full, you should consider defrosting it at least once a year, unless there’s a build-up of frost that’s more than 7mm thick.

Recycle your e-waste responsibly

Think about it: prolonging the lifespan of your electronic appliances means less need to shop for new ones, and less hassle when it comes to disposing of and installing new ones. Not only do you save money, you will also find yourself saving on time, effort, and headaches just by taking better care of your appliances. Plus, you’ll also be doing your part to reduce the environmental impacts of electronic waste.

Of course, there will come a time when you have to replace your old appliances, and that’s where you can also play an important role in protecting our world – schedule an appointment with ALBA, NEA’s appointed e-waste operator, to pick up your bulky e-waste like refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and TVs from your home. Otherwise, drop off your unwanted electronics such as household batteries, power banks, mobile phones and light bulbs in the e-waste bins located across Singapore.

Download the ALBA STEP UP app to find your nearest e-bin and e-drives, and drop your e-waste off to earn points and redeem vouchers too.

International E-waste Day 2025

Money-saving tips

Despite being an important component of a dream home for many of us, home karaokes are certainly not the cheapest entertainment option to have. For those looking for wallet-friendly alternatives that don’t stretch into the 4 digits, consider just purchasing specific components.

Song libraries are the priciest component of each set and you can cut down the price tag significantly by looking for free alternatives like karaoke playlists on Youtube. For instance, Powerhouse Karaoke sells the sound system for just $699 – much cheaper than the full set at $999.

Those with an Apple Music subscription also have access to its new Sing feature that boasts their full catalogue of tracks; we’re talking about millions of chart-topping hits. The feature lets you adjust the artist’s vocals to your liking whilst real-time lyrics play on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV.

For the bare minimum to create KTV feels, you can get just a microphone from $14.50 on Shopee. Also check out our guide on how to have a pseudo KTV experience at home, complete with apps and online resources.

Things to consider before setting up a KTV at home

Some of us prefer to belt our hearts out to Adele’s melodious tracks, while others prefer to flex our rapping skills with a dose of Eminem. But one thing’s for sure – we often get carried away, and things can get pretty loud. This is perfectly fine until you realise you’re at home and there’s this thing called neighbours.

As much as possible, none of us want to be that neighbour. HDB guidelines stipulate that noise levels have to be kept down between 10.30pm to 7am; for condominiums, the hours depend on the individual management. If you’re living on private property, it’ll be up to your neighbourly discretion.

Hours aside, the right thing to do is to keep volumes at a reasonable level, but no one wants to whisper their favourite songs into the mic, even if the song’s Careless Whisper. For those who’re installing the system in a designated room, there are ways to keep the music in, such as with soundproofing panels ($41) and noise-reduction door seals ($22.55), easily purchasable online.

How to have a home karaoke Singapore

Karaoke is the answer to many problems – especially the perpetual question, “what should we do today”, that plagues most get-togethers. For those who need karaoke sessions on demand, these home karaoke sets and alternatives are at the tips of your fingers, anytime you want.

10 Best Toaster Ovens In Singapore For Piping Hot Bread, Pizza Or Sandwiches

Sheann Neo — Tue, 13 May 2025 05:00:06 +0000

Best toaster oven in Singapore

There are a few essential appliances that every kitchen should have, but humble and unassuming toaster ovens are an often-overlooked tool that have their fair share of perks. Be it to toast bread in the morning or to heat up frozen nuggets, this small but mighty metal box is sure to get the job done for you.

If you’ve been stuck deciding what kind of oven toaster would best suit you, here options to help you find the best toaster oven in Singapore that you can get without burning a hole in your wallet.

Fun fact: Consuming up to 1400 watts of energy, toaster ovens let you save on power as compared to electric ovens that can use as much as 5000 watts.

What to look for in a toaster oven?

To find the best toaster oven in Singapore for your needs, here are some factors to consider:

Heat settings

Opt for a toaster oven with multiple heating settings to adjust how light or dark you want your toast to be and prevent uneven cooking. Ideally, it should have both top and bottom heating with air circulation so that all sides of your bread are properly toasted.

Size capacity

This depends on your counter space and the amount of food you need to cook. Most toaster ovens are about 14″ x 11″ x 8″, with a 10L-15L capacity. If you have limited counter space and only need basic functions, a smaller model with a 5L capacity should be adequate. For larger families, some of the biggest toaster ovens have a capacity of 38L-42L.

Functions & Accessories

Toaster ovens typically include a baking pan, oven rack, and crumb tray. However, if you prefer cooking various dishes, then you’ll want to look for something with multiple accessories and functions, like an air fryer basket for crispy food or a rotisserie spit and fork for roasting.

Should I get a toaster oven or an air fryer?

Toaster ovens excel at baking, broiling, and toasting, making them ideal for preparing dishes like pizza, pastries, and baked meat or vegetables. Meanwhile, an air fryer is a better option for fried food, as it produces a crispy outer layer without the excess oil and grease.

As stated earlier, you can find some advanced toaster ovens that include a convection fan or air fryer function, combining two appliances in one. However, most reviews indicate that air fryers are still superior for frying and roasting due to their smaller food basket, which allows for better air circulation and faster cooking.
