Lifestyle stores in the NCR: One stop shops

Redecorating your house or setting up your own pad always is an exciting, if not a daunting, prospect. However, no longer does one have to shop-hop anymore, as lifestyle stores with their one-stop-solution now cater to all your needs under one roof. These new shopping destinations have become extremely popular, and testament to this fact, is the growing number of lifestyle stores all across the city.

One of the earliest such store, Apartment 9 offers complete lifestyle solutions, with most of their products following a stylish-yet-understated theme. Their signature animal leather series covers products like mirrors, photo-frames, lampshades and the like, and give a distinct international touch. It revamps its collection every three months and with a high wallet factor primarily caters to a high-end clientele.

While Apartment 9 may be for the rich and the famous, The Good Earth, with its affordable pricing truly answers the need of people with lesser means. It offers everything from coffee-brewing kits to designer and ethnic-looking cutlery, from bedspreads to curtains, to other linen and curios. At The Good Earth, one is truly spoilt for choice.

Yet another place that is reasonably-priced is The Next Shop . Candles, cushions, essential oils, furniture, crockery, incense, coloured glass bottles and the like don the shelves. Besides these, office and stationery products can be found here as well.

Oma is the latest entrant, and is the complete opposite from what one would expect out of a lifestyle store. Distinctively European in look and feel, Oma is well-suited for those with deep pockets, and is the perfect place to pick up something unusual like an antique-looking Buddha bust or a candlestand in the shape of a birdcage.

Lifestyle stores, indeed, appeal to window and non-window shoppers alike. All you have to do is to walk in with an open mind, and you could walk out with a lifestyle!
