Luxury in recession land

Do you want to create a warm, inviting and beautiful home? What's On visits two new home stores that are on a roll

Earthy and exciting

If you are the kind of person whose nose travels further than your feet, then this store is sure to attract you.

This design house has a lot to offer than just some organic incense. Good Earth retails a comprehensive range of products designed for the everyday needs of contemporary life.u00a0

For a complete lifestyle experience, they offer woven and hand printed textiles, du00c3u00a9cor accessories, hand decorated bone china, tableware, barware, purity based home spa and aromatherapy, accent furniture and delightful gifts.

What's hot: For those who love eco-friendly products, there is a lot at this store. Good Earth offers a complete range of ayurvedic and herbal products like soaps, shower gels, skin products and a wide range of oils. The soaps are priced at Rs 150 onwards and the skin care products start from Rs 500.

The store showcases a collection of cohesive furniture. There are few antique chairs with woven backrests. They get a new look splashed with bright colours and styles.

We also liked the colourful mugs and glasses, which look very earthy and spread a mood of festivity when you look at them.

What's not: A few products in the textiles section, especially the bed linen, are slightly over priced.
