Hong Kong has become a Mecca for home decor shopping: from practical to innovative, frivolous to essential. Shops sell every household item imaginable with top French luxury goods, trendy Italian furniture, glittering European lighting and pared-down Asian tableware and accessories battling for space.

The only problem is: where to start?
