Becoming Hub of Home Deco

This is a common phenomena in Ipoh where similar business always concentrated in a particular area, such as travel agencies, banks, courier services, wedding studios & even "dim sum" restaurants. Now we find a new gathering spot for home deco appear in the neighbourhood of Tasek Square. Beside the few furniture shops, there is also lighting & textile outlets. Recently adding in another lighting showroom on top of its existing showroom at Kampar Road. It is a good trend where it could make Tasek a hub for home deco.
