There’s endless beauty and charm in wood. In a fully-furnished home, don’t wooden consoles, teakwood tables or even wooden wall murals stand out?
Alankaram, too, rides on the inherent appeal and warmth of this material, offering a variety of utility products finished in it. The brand specialises in the use of different woods, where some are painted in varied bright and appealing colours and some are in their natural state, all seen on a single piece of furniture. Treated and seasoned solid wood is used for producing beds, chairs, cabinets, bookshelves and sofas.
