Ok folks, i guess this is the few occasion where i can put my shopaholic skills to good use. After much research, trial and errors, and hard work, here are some of #MyGoTo #taobao keywords when shopping amongst the home category. Trust me, you’ll NOT regret saving this post, especially if you’re a new home owner trying to save on this adulting home journey!
Ps: if you’re too lazy and impatient to taobao, you could also check out this post of a SG shop with similar items!!
**as requested, copy and paste the text here:

Some important points to note:
– not every keyword is a direct translation of the english term, i.e wall mounted is not 墙壁丁式 but rather 壁挂式，so you may need some trial and error when looking for something new!
– taobao uses simplified chinese and not traditional chinese like taiwan
– “ins/网红款” is like a very general term for all things trendy so they need to be combined with other descriptive terms like the objects/material
Anyways dont be shy to drop me a comment if you’d need more help with taobao, or if you would like to know my search terms for clothing (ladies included)!
