Get floored!

A floor mat with a zari border, cushions to match, scented designer candles and your drawing room gets a new, ethnic look. The Design Store now presents a collection of natural fibre products in myriad hues to suit contemporary tastes.

What makes the collection unique is the zari embellishment, to add that hint of grandeur.

Bags, baskets, floor mats, table mats and runners vie for attention while cushion covers in lemon yellow, mithai pink, saffron, emerald green and brilliant blue take your breath away.

The weaves are intricate, a tribute to the country's rich crafts heritage. Woven in fine grass with beautiful muted gold flower borders, each mat spells elegance.

Also available are two-tone tie and dye power loom mats.

Other attractions at The Design Store are earth-toned lacquerware from Chennapatna, nut bowls and kitchenware, vases, candle stands, key rings and pen stands. The laundry bins and baskets complement the floor mats.

Along with home accessories, the store showcases contemporary furniture designed and manufactured by Tessaract, Bangalore.

Classy teak and dark metal bedroom, living and dining room furniture go hand in hand with the lightwood and silver collections, to lend an aesthetic touch to your home.

Check out the home accessories at the store's outlet at 79, C.P. Ramaswamy Road, Alwarpet (Ph:4997157/4997260).
