Furniture shopping has not escaped the online revolution with many buying their furniture at the click of a button. But convenience aside, there is so much one misses out on. Curato by Aruna Tara is South Mumbai's newest luxury home décor and furniture boutique and promises to bring back the joy of going furniture shopping - offline. Located at Worli's Shiv Sagar Industrial Estate, this lavish 4500 sq ft gallery houses some of the world's finest transitional collection of home adornments. Personally handpicked by Aruna Tara herself, the founder and curator in chief.

"It's the same with all of us - isn't it? When we travel the world, we just have to bring the best back home with us," says Aruna Tara, widely known in the luxury circles of South Mumbai for her exquisite taste in home décor. She has over two decades of expertise in curation, with her previously successful venture Hurtado - located at the same address. Over the years, she has pioneered the entry into India of leading international luxury furniture brands. But this time, there is a marked difference in her collection at Curato by Aruna Tara, she has transformed from classical forms into transitional lines to match the needs of contemporary architects and interior designers who lean towards a more modern design aesthetic. The collection includes 950 pieces of personally handpicked furniture, home décor and collectibles from the US.

Why this bias towards the US, one may ask? This is where Aruna Tara's attention to detail and amazing expertise takes over, "The vast size of the country, the availability of quality wood and the fact that the American dream attracts some of the best designers from all over the world. More importantly, the US always designs in the right proportions and height while paying special attention to luxury and comfort. For example, their higher seat heights and lower depths as compared to Italian and French brands make the furniture perfect for everyone at home, especially the older generation."

Truth is, the collection is simply fabulous. You have a wide choice of transitional furniture both luxurious and tasteful in design including living and bedroom sets, artifacts and so much more. Easily accessible both from South Mumbai and Western and Central Mumbai across the sea link and expressways, this is definitely a must visit. "Curato by Aruna Tara is my home of luxury furniture where you can pick the best for your fabulous home," smiles the effervescent Aruna Tara.
