Sofa sets Buy the set of your choice that fits in to your budget and keeping in mind the area in your home where it will occupy. Nowadays, the texture, look etc. are classy and look great, but buy the ones that are easy to clean and maintain. A decent sized sofa set costs anywhere from 29,000 - 40,000 rupees.

Bedroom furniture Beds with headboard storage are very useful. Sleek and modern, they also have options for storage. Look for deals for beds and mattresses. Bedroom sets include beds, wardrobes and side tables. Here look for offers for the entire bedroom furniture sets.

Dining room furniture Custom sizes and shapes are the norm now. If you do not have a dining room as such, the new designs should be able to make up for that. They look very classy and create a virtual dining area.
Also buffet areas and showcases to display crystal ware look good too.

Entertainment centre The size of your television (Plasma/LCD) should determine the entertainment centre. Area for the Music system, storage for DVD's and CD's and a small display area for showcasing some fancy items.
