Wall clocks don't have to be boring...


There was a time when wall clocks were a standard fixture in all households. Every room had one! Clocks are perceived as boring but we have a range of quirky, fun clocks for you! Take a look here:

Sunday Lunch at Sanctum

Last Sunday, Sanctum hosted an Assamese meal by chef Gitika Saikia. Thirty two people came & had an delicious meal served in a traditional style. The event was organised by Small Fry Co (Secret Ingredient)... We had so much fun hosting! Watch the space for more such events at the store.

Crockery Cabinet

Are you a collector of mugs, cups, tea sets, milk jugs, vases? There are many people who love these items, and seem to be on the lookout when they are travelling or visiting a new place. It would be a shame to hide these away in your kitchen shelves. So how does one display them? A crockery cabinet! Our pick would be the painted cabinets with wallpaper lined on the background. If space is an issue, invest in a cabinet that is wide enough for your plates. The rest of the stuff would fit in easily. The cups can even be stacked on each other for an interesting visual display.

Suzani Crush


Do you have a crush on suzanis like we do? Suzani is a type of embroidered / decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan & other central Asian countries. It is usually made on a cotton base with silk or cotton thread.
Suzanis have taken the world of interior decor by storm. You can see them adorning walls, on sofas, stools, cushions, as bedsheets & a lot more.

Mats do Matter


We strongly advocate the use of coir mats vis a vis PVC or rubber door mats. They are eco friendly, easy to clean and so much more effective than the PVC mats. They are no longer restricted to dull brown colours, they are bright, colourful and funky. You just need to shake it for the dust to fall off.

At Sanctum, we have a variety of coir mats ranging from funky, quirky, classic, floral & more.
