If you’re looking to furnish (or refurnish) your home, these furniture markets in Mumbai will let you pick quirky, fun stuff on a budget!
Renting or buying space in Mumbai can be tough. Small, cramped rooms, tinier bathrooms and no open spaces make up for homes with exorbitant rent, especially when you compare it with other cities. And when it comes to decking up your home, turning to shops can be an expensive affair. So, if you’re in the mood to buy some furniture pieces (and not renting them online), these furniture markets in Mumbai will come to your rescue. What’s more, you may be able to pick up some antique-style pieces and little table decorations and hangings that you never imagined you’d find in the city.

Colaba Causeway is not a place you will go to pick furniture for your home since it’s mostly a one-stop shopping destination for beautiful junk jewellery and thrifty clothes. However, the lane has several stalls and shops selling beautiful pieces you can deck up your homes with, such as vintage-style clocks, planters, dreamcatchers, and more. Be sure to keep an eye out for things that will look pretty hanging on the walls or your tabletops!
Getting There: From Churchgate Station (Western Line) or CSMT (Central Line), the market is about 20 minutes on foot, so if the weather allows.
