Set in a charming old house with red-oxide floors and grilled windows, the store is just as lovely as we’d hoped. With plenty of Channapatna goodies on offer, from toys to kitchen essentials, and a room dedicated to their line of clothing from shirts to sarees, Varnam's Jayanagar branch has oodles of charm, just like their Indiranagar outlet. With a larger inventory, what we’re loving most about the store is the quirky home accents and decor elements on offer. Our favourite finds include the hot favourite with its patrons, the Goobe Night Lamp is modelled after a friendly owl with big orange eyes and a pointy little beak. Mini bulbs in the body of the owl serve up soft lighting that should make for a cute and cosy night lamp on your bed stand. It comes in a couple of colours too.
You’ll love The Oinkston Four-Coaster Set, a charming little set of coasters that make up a little wooden piggy’s body. Pull the piggy apart to take out four different coloured coasters for your dining table. As soon as you’re done, put the piggyback together, which makes for a nice decor piece by itself. There’s an owl-inspired coaster set too.
Perhaps our favourite lighting element at the store, the drop pendant ceiling lamps are simply lovely. With plenty of colour in the mix, and little birds hanging along with the lights, these are quite the conversation-starter. In fact, these lights are also given a place of prominence at the new store, as they hang above a cheerful cart full of wooden board games that you can spot as soon as you make your way into the store.
