Summary:This paper seeks to present the furniture usage in Malay traditional house spatial organization. Data analysis is focused on Anjung/Rumah Tangga, Serambi, and Rumah Ibu area. Qualitative research is analyzed from the literature review and case study at Maliah Idin's Melaka traditional house at Jasin, Melaka.
