Walking through the cobbled lanes and quaint streets of Khan Market, a magnificent wrought iron Parisian-inspired doorway beckoned me. Illuminated with signature French country outdoor lighting fixtures, I walked into OMA’s newest home decor address Casa OMA – a luxury living destination housing over 90 brands under the vision of Charu Munjal. The façade is a nod to the distinctive architectural style of 19th century Paris, Haussmannian architecture, with its pristine white exterior, wrought-iron balconies, and Mansard roofs.
"Craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do. We celebrate the hands that shape, the minds that imagine, and the hearts that create," said Ms Charu Munjal, Founder, of OMA Pvt. Ltd.
Walking in, a sweeping white staircase with intricate wrought iron railings and polished wooden accents welcomed me. The Baroque and Rococo-style detailing on the walls and ceilings added an air of regal charm, while grand crystal chandeliers bathed the space in a warm glow. As I climbed to the first floor, I found myself in a home décor paradise. Inside, the options are endless, with beautiful photo frames by Vera Wang by Wedgwood to delicate glass vases from Venini, Lalique, and Kosta Boda, the store was brimming with exquisite finds. The hand-cut crystal from Arnstadt Krystall seemed like the perfect centrepiece for a sophisticated living space.
Spread across an expansive 6,000 sq. ft. on two floors, the most iconic architectural marvel unwraps as you make your way to floor two, which is connected by a spiral staircase. As you walk up, a glass ceiling bathes the interiors with natural light during the day and gives way to a glowing chandelier by night. Adding to the aura is the railing and a large artwork that almost seems like a gorgeous carpet that doubles up as wall art.
Being passionate about table styling, I was immediately drawn to the crockery and cutlery section. I imagined hosting a lavish dinner with Gaetano Broggi cutlery, Chilewich placemats, and embroidered linen napkins from Jim Thompson. Italian porcelain serving platters from Raynaud and Ginori, brass trays from Plumeria Home. To serve my guests, I couldn’t look beyond fine Italian porcelain serving platters from Raynaud and Ginori. But the real showstopper? Vista Alegre’s floral-motif crockery, which would make any meal a feast for the eyes.
While the store‘s area dedicated to crockery and cutlery won me over in a jiffy, the area behind the wall, with glassware that catered to all demands, had me longing to redo my bar cabinet. I imagined redoing my bar cabinet with stunning pieces like a statement cigar set from Lorenzi Milano, perfect for a lounge, and the Massimo Lunardon parrotfish decanter, an artful way to aerate fine spirits.
The second floor greeted me with silk flowers, statement seating under a grand chandelier, and an array of designer lamps. Further ahead, Casa OMA’s in-house range of scented candles, soaps, and international brands of luxurious bed and bath linens awaited.
Every corner of Casa OMA was thoughtfully curated, featuring the finest brands from France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and the USA. From elegant glass sculptures by Alfier to Assouline’s stylish coffee table books, Bernardaud’s designer lamps, and Ginger Brown’s seashell-accented furnishings, every piece is a work of art. The store also features handcrafted lacquer vases from Hanoia, Jonathan Adler’s iconic home décor and Swedish crystal by Kosta Boda adds a vibrant touch. While colourful designs from Cinabre and Ombres & Facettes bring artistic flair to any space. A personal favourite? A handcrafted Backgammon set in Alcantara and Italian leather by Hector.
I was captivated by the distinctive home décor selections, where every piece seemed to tell its own story. Being surrounded by over 90 of the world’s finest brands felt like a dream—some were longtime favourites, while others instantly stole my heart. The artistic statement pieces in glass and ceramics, the plush and inviting statement sofas, and the grand paintings elegantly displayed in glass cabinets transported me beyond India. However, the intricately carved pillar, inspired by Rococo and Art Nouveau styles, left a lasting impression on me proving that luxury isn’t just material but an experience.
