WHAT's ON checked out Be: Home, which is high on quality, but then so are the price tags Be Home at Yerwada
If you are looking to redesign your home, Be: Home is the perfect place to head for expensive, but elegant decorative items.
Ambience: You can catch a peek of the products through the glass windows. The store is done in wood and the walls are painted white. But the congested look of the store might put you off as you are unable to focus on a particular item and your fleeting glance can't help but scan through all the items.
Range: Be: Home displays products in six categories u00e2u0080u0094 bedroom sets, bathroom sets, kitchen and dinning sets, bar accessories, easy wear for women and aromatic products. A bedroom set includes silk and cotton cushion covers (with beads and sequins), bed cover, bed sheets and quilts in a range of shades and prints. The bathroom set includes a towel, a bathrobe, soap dispenser, soap dish and tooth-brush holder.
The dinner sets have been picked up from various parts of the world and include tableware, cups and saucers, glasses, plates and serving bowls (glass and bone-china both). The easy wear includes home, yoga and night wear. The herbal and aromatic spa products are from Thailand and France.
We liked: The variety of candles, including aromatic, floating and hand-made textured ones, in different colours and shapes. The bar glasses are imported from Germany and Austria. The hand-made, recycled glassware (plates and bowls) in different shapes are appealing. The dinner sets stood out from the crowd and were costly but elegant. The home-wear fabrics seemed soft and comfortable. The cushions and bedcovers came in different shades, which can easily find a place in most homes.
