"Imbyou is a curated online design gallery showcasing objects for home and interiors by some of the best contemporary designers & makers in the industry from UK and India.

Founded by homeware designer/maker Vallari Harshwal based in England, Imbyou focuses on relevance of designed object’s longevity in todays hectic living. UK has created some of the most iconic designers of modern times and has left design legacy unchallenged so far, while India is emerging as the new design hub with a fresh take on design, generating a new breed of designers who have a distinct language steeped in culture laced with unique aesthetics as an understanding of their culture.Our collections focus on simplicity, craftsmanship, integrity & timeless design.

Imbyou has a vision to change the way we respond to home and interior related products in today’s fast paced life. We live in a  rampant use and throw culture, and along the way we are accumulating material and visual clutter in our lives.

Imbyou is on a journey of bringing meaningful, timeless designs with soul."

Anek Designs is 6!

Yes you heard it right, I started this brand 6 years ago and it has traveled with me to 4 different cities. Time flies and it always seems amazing on looking back. I have met many wonderful people in these years and I am thankful for having them in my life!

My fellow creatives who I met through my online shops or my blog have made me feel so welcome in these cities and on this journey, without them I would have been lost. All this love that has been showered on me through Anek Designs is the single most powerful factor that has prevented me from shutting shop every time I had my downs. I know so many of you through my blog, even though I have been irregular in reaching out and posting! I am so thankful that you come back to read what I have to say and forgive me when I am absent.

As a small Thank You I would like to extend a 33% Discount to you, your family and your friends.

Use Discount Code VR6! during checkout to avail the discount on all our products on

Thank You!

Beautiful Hand Crafted Furniture by Gulmohar Lane

I was introduced to Shweta (co-founder and creative head, Gulmohar Lane) by my husband Vivek, both their families have known each other for many many years.

Shweta wrote to me about her plans for their furniture brand while it was still in its planning stages and I took an instant liking to the name...Gulmohar Lane. I can see myself going on long walks in Gulmohar Lane, with the sunny skies and cool breeze, perhaps with a comforting book to read.

http://www.gulmoharlane.com/pages/about-us

I love the way the brand has shaped up and their collection of furniture is stunning! Best part though? Gulmohar Lane is online and you can ask for the product to be delivered across India.

I so agree when they say that they found a gap in the furniture market and strive to fill it with quality products that are fairly priced.

Their hand tufted Chesterfield Collection of sofas, ottomans and chairs is a personal favourite, made by 4th generation master sofa makers, the quality shows in every thoughtful detail.

My all time favourite coffee table, I hope they start world shipping soon.

Look out for lighting solutions and a range of scatter pillows launching soon on their website.

This newly launched online furniture studio is sure to win your hearts with its combination of traditional techniques, natural fabrics, smart finishes and super fine aesthetics.

The brand is based out of Jaipur and ships across India.

So so beautiful, sigh.
