Best Home Decoration Markets in Guangzhou: Top Places to Buy Decor & Furniture

Guangzhou is one of those cities where you can buy a single candle holder… or accidentally source an entire hotel lobby’s worth of decor before lunch. If you’re serious about home products, it’s also a major stop on the industry calendar: CIFF (China International Furniture Fair) in Guangzhou covers everything from home furniture to home decor, home textiles, and more. A lot of this sourcing energy clusters around Pazhou, because the Canton Fair Complex is there (official address: No. 382, Yuejiang Middle Road, Haizhu District). Right next door, Poly World Trade Expo Centre (PWTC) is another major venue used for trade events, and it’s literally connected to Metro Line 8 (Pazhou).

For day-to-day buying though, most foreigners aren’t going to an expo hall. They’re going to the markets that actually sell the stuff. For small decor, the easiest “start here” is Wanling / Onelink Plaza, a big wholesale building in the Yide Road area (address: No. 39 Jiefang South Road, Yuexiu District).

Below is my directory-style breakdown: what each place is best for, where it is, and how I shop it without wasting a whole day.

Quick picker: what are you buying?

If you want the fast answer, pick your category:

• Small decor, gifts, kitchenware, cheap “nice-looking” items → Wanling / Onelink Plaza (一德路商圈)
• Furniture + serious home building materials (tiles, sanitary, doors, lighting) → Wuzhou Decoration World (番禺迎宾路)
• Renovation materials near the city center (lighting, tiles, hardware) → Tianpingjia Decoration Materials City (天平架)
• High-end branded showrooms (more like a home mall) → Meiju Center (珠江新城)
• Professional sourcing timing (new collections, supplier meetings) → CIFF / Pazhou venues

1) Wanling / Onelink Plaza (万菱广场): the “small decor in bulk” king

This is where I send people who want to furnish an apartment cheaply, style a shop, or buy a bunch of small “looks expensive in photos” items without dealing with factory MOQs.

What you’ll find:

• Home decor ornaments (vases, frames, artificial flowers, wall decor)
• Kitchenware (glassware, utensils, storage, small tools)
• Gifts + seasonal items (dangerous for your suitcase weight)

My way of shopping it (so it’s not chaos):

• I do one “scouting lap” first. No buying. Just photos + stall numbers.
• Then I come back and negotiate only on the finalists.
• If you’re buying quantity, ask tiered pricing: 10 pcs / 50 pcs / 100 pcs.

2) Wuzhou Decoration World (五洲城装饰世界): the “I’m renovating or sourcing seriously” zone

Wuzhou is not cute, and it’s not meant to be. It’s big, practical, and organized around categories like tiles, sanitary ware, doors, flooring, lighting, and building materials. This is where you go when you need real home stuff, not just decor trinkets.

What you’ll find:

• Flooring, doors, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, tiles
• Furniture options (varies by section)
• Lighting and renovation hardware

My survival tips here:

• Bring measurements. Sellers will ask. If you don’t have them, you’ll guess. Guessing is how people buy the wrong things.
• Confirm what’s included: installation, accessories, warranty, packaging.
• If you’re exporting: confirm carton size and total weight early. Shipping cost is where “cheap” becomes “not cheap.”

3) Tianpingjia Decoration Materials City (天平装饰材料城): city-center renovation materials

If you want building materials without traveling far out, Tianpingjia is a common go-to area. It’s especially useful when you need to compare brands and options quickly for renovation basics.

Good for:

• Lighting, tiles, bathroom fixtures, hardware
• “I need it this week” renovation shopping

How I shop it:

• I focus on 2–3 categories per visit. Doing everything in one run turns into a full-day blur and you buy badly.

4) Meiju Center (美居中心): branded showrooms and higher-end choices

This is more “home mall” than “wholesale market.” It’s useful when you want branded options, better display showrooms, and less bargaining drama.

Good for:

• Higher-end furniture and home brands
• Seeing finished setups and materials in proper lighting

Reality check:

• Prices can be higher than wholesale zones, but the shopping experience is less painful.

5) Bonus: Pazhou trade venues for home products (CIFF / Canton Fair Complex / PWTC)

If you’re buying for a business, fairs are where you meet suppliers fast, compare new lines, and stop relying on random platform photos. I treat fairs as “shortlist builders,” then I follow up with samples and factory checks.

What to buy where (simple decision table)

What you need	Go here first	Why
Small decor, ornaments, gifts, cheap furnishings	Wanling / Onelink Plaza	huge variety, fast browsing, wholesale-friendly
Tiles, bathroom, doors, flooring, renovation materials	Wuzhou Decoration World	category zoning, serious home materials
Renovation basics without leaving central Guangzhou	Tianpingjia	practical and metro-accessible
Branded home shopping + showrooms	Meiju Center	cleaner experience, better displays
Supplier sourcing for business	CIFF / Pazhou	best for meeting suppliers and comparing lines

My “don’t waste money” buyer checklist

• Always ask: material, size, weight, packaging method (especially if shipping).
• If you’re exporting: get carton dimensions before you negotiate price.
• Buy samples for anything that depends on color/texture. Lighting lies.
• Take photos of stall name + location. “It was somewhere on that floor” is not a strategy.
• Don’t get hypnotized by “factory price” talk. If it’s retail packaging with no MOQ, it’s not factory pricing.
