India is a land of diversity and this is
apparent in every feature extrinsic or intrinsic. Furniture stores in India
are eclectic and the aesthetics lull our senses to a state of absolute
harmony. The art, the carving, the designs and the wood all these factors
indigenously combine to ingeniously present pieces, which are marvels
beyond, compare. Allow me to take you through these rich corridors where
time seems to stand still.
The metamorphosis that the simple wooden sofa has undergone has to be seen
to be believed. Made from teak, walnut, shesham, cedar and sometimes
rosewood, the sofa enhances the act of being seated. The intricate carvings,
the straight elegant lines, the veneer, the finish, the furnishing and its
versatility have made it an essential part of every home, every office all
over India. Chairs, tables, sideboards, wall units adorn the furniture
stores and are integral units, which have also evolved with the passage of
time.
Taking into account that human beings need to get away from the confines of
the home, furniture stores have come up with an array of outdoor furniture
often classified under the nomenclature of Garden furniture. Chairs, tables,
stools made from special wood or wrought iron, are light, fashionable and at
the same time can withstand changes in temperature and climate. Jhoolas,
which form the essence of the Indian household, are available in different
forms. Basket chairs, wooden swings suspended from the top, name it and you
have it. The designs are exotic and the elegance remarkable.
The decor of the bedroom depends on the kind of furniture used and the
furniture stores have come up with an amazing array of beds and side tables,
cupboards and dressing tables, which vie with each other for attention. The
options available are plenty. These stores can cater to any taste retaining
richness and simplicity in design. With wardrobes and separate units for the
TV, computer and music systems, decorating homes have become more
delightful.
Bamboo and cane furniture are equally popular, because of its economic
viability and its versatility. Anything you can make with wood can be made
from bamboo and cane. Cane is durable, stronger than bamboo and easy to
maintain. Of course, the list would be incomplete if we failed to make a
mention of wrought iron furniture, which is either powder coated or black
antique.
Chrome or nickel-plated furniture is sleek, durable and easy to
maintain.. Some stores found in nooks and corners actually take you back
quite a while with their antique collections. Cabinets, old armoires,
chairs, almirahs, settees and furniture typical of the mughal era, the
princely states and the feudal chiefs allow us to relive history for at
least a while.
