Furniture That Feels Like the Centrepiece of Home Décor
Every home tells a story. At The Bombay Store, we believe your furniture should be the most eloquent narrator — a home decor item that transcends function to become a legacy.
For over a century, we’ve celebrated India’s artistry, crafting pieces that don’t just fill spaces but soulfully anchor them. Our furniture collection embodies this philosophy, where each hand-carved cabinet, solid wood table, or embroidered upholstered chair is designed to feel like the centrepiece of your home.
These are not mere objects. They are conversation starters, memory keepers, and heirlooms in the making.
The Craftsmanship Behind Every Centrepiece
What transforms furniture into a room’s focal point? It begins with the hands that shape it. At The Bombay Store, we collaborate with rural artisans from across India — from Agra’s marble inlay to Jaipur’s block printing virtuosos and Odisha’s Dokra metalwork. This isn’t mass production. It’s a dialogue between tradition and individuality.
Consider a rosewood console table adorned with brass inlay. The wood’s grain tells of monsoon-fed forests, while the metalwork whispers of generations honing a craft born in Mughal workshops. Or a reclaimed-mango wood bookshelf, its surface etched with floral motifs inspired by temple architecture. Such pieces showcase how Indian artistry merges with practical design.
Designing Around Your Anchor Piece
A true home decorative centrepiece deserves thoughtful staging. Here are ways to let it shine:
1. Lighting as an Accessory
Position a handcrafted jute-wrapped floor lamp beside a carved armchair. The interplay of shadows and texture highlights the chair’s intricacies while creating a reading nook that feels sacred.
2. Textiles That Harmonize
Drape a block-printed cotton throw over a solid teak bench. Choose patterns that echo the wood’s carvings — floral paisleys or geometric Ajrakh prints — tying the space together without competing.
3. Negative Space Is Your Ally
Avoid clutter. A rosewood coffee table with marble inlay demands breathing room. Let its elegance command attention, flanked only by minimalist brass bookends or a single terracotta vase.
4. Layer Eras, Not Just Objects
Pair an heirloom-style rosewood chest with a contemporary abstract painting. The contrast underscores the chest’s timelessness while keeping the aesthetic dynamic.
Why Centrepiece Furniture Matters
In today’s transient world, anchor pieces ground us. A dining table isn’t just where meals are served — it’s where birthdays are celebrated, homework is tackled, and midnight confidences are shared. Our teakwood desks witness ideas taking shape. Our upholstered chairs become sanctuaries for solitude. This emotional resonance is woven into every piece through:
1. Sustainable Choices
We prioritize reclaimed wood and natural dyes, ensuring your centrepiece honours both artisans and the earth.
2. Cultural Continuity
Designs draw from India’s diverse heritage — Konkan carvings, Mughal geometry, or Tamil floral motifs — making history a living part of your home.
3. Uncompromised Resilience
Joints are dovetailed, not glued. Upholstery uses double-stitched, hand-loomed fabric. These details ensure your investment endures for decades.

Your home’s soul lies in the pieces that echo who you are and aspire to be. We offer more than furniture — we provide legacy. From hand-turned wooden side tables that become bedside guardians to expansive dining sets that host generations, every creation is a home decorative testament to India’s living craft traditions.
