HomeTrends

HomeTrends, trading as Hometrends Home & Garden, is a furniture and homewares showroom in San Ġwann, with an online shop alongside. It is part of Rausi Co Ltd, a Maltese family firm whose roots go back to 1885, and it sells indoor and outdoor furniture, décor, lighting, kitchenware and garden products from one site.

For a UK buyer furnishing a holiday-season rental of their own, a new Maltese home or just a terrace, it is a one-stop address. You will find it listed on VisitMalta.co.uk among furniture shops in Malta, and you can contact the team through the enquiry form on this page.

A Maltese family business since 1885

The Rausi name has been in Maltese retail for more than four generations, built on a motto that appears throughout the firm's material: people will remember quality. Today the company is led by the fourth and fifth generations, with John Rausi and his wife Bernadette working alongside their sons Karl, Julian and Sebastian.

Hometrends Home & Garden is the arm of the business devoted to the house and garden. It aims to offer pieces that balance style, practicality and durability, and it refreshes its collections as tastes change so that there is something for different homes and budgets.

More than 40 people work for the business, and the purpose-built premises include an in-house technical department. That team supports the journey from buying to delivery and installation, which matters for bulky or technical items such as barbecues, fireplaces and outdoor structures. If you are new to the island, our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK explains what to expect when setting up a home.

Indoor ranges

The living and dining collections include sofas, sofa beds, recliners and design chairs, coffee, side and console tables, TV units, sideboards, dining tables and chairs, and dinner sets and tableware. Bedroom ranges cover beds and bedroom furniture as well as bedding, and the office section has desks and chairs.

Decorative items fill out the rest of the showroom: mirrors, wall décor, vases, clocks, frames, cushions, throwovers, curtains, carpets and artificial plants, plus lighting from chandeliers to lampshades. Kitchen products include coffee makers, kettles, pots and pans, cutlery and countertop appliances.

There is a bar section with stools, bar tables, glasses, cocktail sets and accessories, and a gift section sorted by occasion, including ideas for her, for him and for a new home. Fireplaces and heating are another strength, with electric, gas and bio-ethanol fireplaces, heaters and stoves. Shoppers curious about the practical side of Maltese winters can check our Malta weather guide.

Outdoor living and garden

Malta's climate makes the terrace a second living room for much of the year, and the outdoor range reflects that. It includes patio and dining sets, sofa sets, outdoor chairs and tables, sun loungers, cushions, umbrellas and shading, awnings, outdoor lighting, fountains, decking and flooring tiles, and outdoor heaters for cooler evenings.

Barbecues and pizza ovens have their own section with accessories, and there are kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and spa products for those with a pool or a sea-facing home. Visitors who want to see where such a set-up pays off can read our best beaches in Malta guide or the page on things to do in Malta.

The showroom is also useful for holiday-home owners. Our guide to where to stay in Malta shows how each area differs, which helps when choosing furniture to suit an apartment, a townhouse or a farmhouse.

Visiting and ordering

The showroom is at the JPR Buildings on Triq taż-Żwejt in San Ġwann. Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm and Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The online store extends the showroom, with pricing in euros and a choice of English, French or German on the site.

San Ġwann sits between Sliema, St Julian's and Mosta, which makes the showroom easy to combine with a day out. Our Valletta guide and Mdina guide are worth a look if you are planning a wider trip.
