Interior superstores at the new Noida mall

Trendy is taking a three-day summer break starting tomorrow. See you back Monday May 28!

The driving license was the first step. Closing the deal on that sweet studio apartment announces you’ve really come of age.

Break out the bubbly and start dreaming. Walk-in closet. A plush leather recliner. Limed wood floors.

Get the headache out of doing up your home. Make a beeline for Great India Place, to over 1,50,000 square feet of covetable interiors.

Two of India’s retail giants have opened shop in the basement of what is being touted as India’s biggest mall yet. Sprawling Home Town has 170 room-by-room displays. Point, and they’ll have it packed, moved and set up — free. There’s hardware at unbelievable discounts, and the convenience of in-house financiers, architects, plumbers, and painters.

At half that size, Home Centre doesn’t have a service brigade or as many rooms, but the selection is more eclectic. Green Spanish recycled glassware. Baskets begging for picnics. Framed canvases for every room — just add nails.

Rome may not have been built in a day. Your home can be.
