What you see - Home Town is housed in a not so imposing four-storied building (five if you count the one underground). Well, not so imposing simply because it is right next to the really impressive Central. A bright red racing car to you right will take up your attention as soon as you enter Home Town. Move closer and you'll see it is a bed for children! Snazzy isn't it?
What you get - Each of the four floors caters to a different section of your home. The ground floor has living rooms on exhibition, home decor and services. The first floor caters to dining exhibition, kid's room, bedroom and home furnishings. The second floor exhibits your kitchen services. It also has books, music and gifts there. On the third floor are your bathrooms. There's there plumbing service called Mr. Plumber there too. The fourth floor has basically more of the lighting equipment and Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Painter and Mr. Electrician.

Now back to the ground floor. Here they have different themes (around 20) such as Mustard Harvest, Florida Beach etc. Each theme has its own flooring, carpets, sofas, center tables and lighting.

A (3+2+ a revolving chair) sofa comes up to Rs. 89,000. A garnet center table would cost Rs. 7,700.
The Bali Bang which is more of designer cane furniture is good for those with open living rooms or is ideal for a sit-out. You can get this for Rs. 98,000.

They have Moroccan lanterns too for Rs. 845. The ceramic collection here is vast. You will get vases in different shapes and sizes.
You can escalate your way to the first floor. A few of the bedroom designs have canopies and that is likely to pull the hearts of a few romantic ones.

Well, those who would want to go for the grander look, they also a have a Napoleon themed bedroom set in all red and golden. But, be ready to pay Rs. 1,87,500 for it.

The kids' section is far more interesting as they have those racing car beds, Barbie beds and colorful bunk beds. They have a huge kid's play pool for Rs. 24,997.
