TREASURE TROVE: Your One Stop Décor Store

Indiranagar’s tree-lined lanes hide secrets if you know where to look. This particular bungalow, tucked discreetly off the main road, stopped being someone’s home and became something rather more useful: Treasure Trove, where three enterprising partners – Anita, Shobha, and Tejaswini – decided Bangalore desperately needed what it clearly lacked. Jacob came aboard with resources and connections but left the vision to those three. A place where you could walk in wanting a chandelier and leave having reconsidered your entire domestic situation.

I arrived on a sunny afternoon, the kind where clouds threaten but never quite commit, and spent two hours wandering spaces that demonstrated what homes could become if people stopped accepting mediocrity. The old bungalow retains its original structure – living room, dining area, bedrooms – but now each room shows possibilities rather than limitations. Crystal chandeliers catch light at angles that make you question everything you thought about illumination. Wall paints in hues of gold and ivory shift to pink and blue depending on where you stand, the sort of detail that separates amateurs from people who genuinely understand surfaces.

The handcrafted woodwork comes from W & W India, a legacy operation helmed by Mr Wills, whose experience in artisan crafts shows in every joint and finish. Humera Ali customized the wall art to coordinate precisely with linens and room aesthetics, because randomly assembling beautiful objects is what shopping malls do. This is decidedly not that. Comparing Treasure Trove to standard décor establishments is like comparing tailoring to ready-made garments.

Everything here, from premium bed and bath linens to bespoke furniture, from carpets to throws, from lighting fixtures to Lina Murthy‘s preserved flower arrangements using dehydrated natural blooms imported from the Netherlands, exists as part of a cohesive vision. The flowers alone deserve pause: natural, carefully preserved, adding chic glamour to every corner they occupy.

This is A-to-Z home curation done with love, emotion, and affection. Every piece is selected to spark feeling, not just fill space.

The first floor houses Adaia Diamonds, a collaboration so unexpected it works brilliantly: home décor meeting fashion jewellery, casual elegance graduating to bridal pieces. Walking from your conceptual bedroom into what feels like a royal showroom makes absolute sense here. Founder Darshana welcomed me warmly. Jacob graciously took me around before we settled in for a conversation over a beautifully arranged grazing counter – cheese, crackers, nuts, and coffee – because hospitality always sets the tone when you’re talking about how people want to live.

Bangalore’s affluent had been travelling to other cities for décor matching their ambitions. The founders had a feeling the city was missing a space that brought everything together – from concept to final flourish – guided by genuine understanding rather than convenience. When research backed that instinct, they set out to make it real. Now over coffee, we talked about how it came to life.

Rajeev Mokashi: Three founders with backgrounds in engineering, finance, art, civil construction, real estate, and F&B. On paper, it sounds like a networking event gone rogue. In reality, it’s Treasure Trove. So, what happened?

Treasure Trove is a unique concept and a conglomeration of minds and brands that offer a beautiful and exquisite range to adorn your homes and yourself. This called for some of the most wonderful people with varied backgrounds and vast experience to come together. What you see at our flagship studio and experience centre is a result of this effort.

RM: From bed linens to bridal diamonds, wall paint to custom furniture, Treasure Trove isn’t filling gaps; it’s rewriting premium home décor entirely. What will customers find here that nowhere else offers, and how do you keep that ‘wow’ factor alive as you grow?

All our guests will get to have a wide range of exquisite products like handcrafted furniture, fine bed/ bath/ table linen, preserved flowers from the Netherlands and discover wonderful Treasures for themselves in different nooks at Treasure Trove.

OVER to SHOBHA:

RM: Engineering grad, homemaker, finance whiz. What was the spark that made you channel all that into Treasure Trove?

Shobha: I’ve always had three sides to me—my engineering background gave me a problem-solving mindset, being a homemaker nurtured my eye for comfort and aesthetics, and my financial acumen kept me focused on building value. The spark for Treasure Trove came when I realised our homes are more than just spaces—they’re reflections of who we are. I wanted to bring together quality, design, and affordability in a way that wasn’t easily available in the market. That blend of personal passion and professional discipline became the foundation for Treasure Trove.

OVER to ANITA:

RM: Finance manager to entrepreneur, what made premium home décor worth the leap? And in this team of four, what’s your edge – taming the chaos or knowing which risks pay off?

Anita: The shift from finance to premium home décor wasn’t impulsive but intentional. Numbers taught me discipline, but design gave me vision. What kept pulling at me was the idea of building something beautiful and lasting, not just on spreadsheets, but in people’s homes.

Premium home décor stood out because it blended emotional resonance with smart business. In a world of fast interiors and disposable style, there was a clear gap: thoughtful, elevated pieces that tell a story and hold value. That’s where I knew we could do something different, not mass-produced, but meaningful.

My edge: Knowing which risks pay off. Every startup has its chaos. But where others might hesitate, I lean into calculated risk. As an artist at heart, I see the beauty in details, in textures, in how a space feels. But as a finance professional, I also see the importance of margins, cash flow, and long-term value. That balance is what I contribute to Treasure Trove.

OVER to TEJASWINI:

RM: An artist turning entrepreneur is an interesting pivot, so what made Treasure Trove worth the bet, and what’s your edge here beyond the creative eye?

Tejaswini: Treasure Trove was born out of a simple belief that a home should feel like an extension of one’s personality. As an artist, I always saw beauty in details, textures, and the way a space can tell a story. The entrepreneur in me wanted to take that sensibility and make it accessible in a curated, boutique format. Turning Entrepreneur wasn’t about leaving creativity behind; it was about expanding it.

What makes Treasure Trove worth the bet is not just the products, but the experience. Every piece is thoughtfully sourced, with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. I saw a gap between mass-produced decor and inaccessible luxury, and Treasure Trove became a way to offer timeless, soulful pieces that feel both personal and attainable. Beyond the creative eye, my edge lies in building an ecosystem, understanding customer lifestyles, blending functionality with artistry, and creating a space where people don’t just shop, but find inspiration for the way they live.

In short, Treasure Trove is about turning everyday living into something special and meaningful.

OVER to JACOB:

RM: Civil engineering, real estate, thriving F&B, and now premium luxury home décor. What made this venture worth adding to the roster?

Jacob: Treasure Trove is a brand that has been built with a lot of love, hard work, and dedication by the three wonderful founders. Its uniqueness in bringing everything that a designer or an interior enthusiast would want under one roof filled the vacuum that the growing market for unique and quality home decor products for one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, Bangalore.

I always believed that there are discerning customers scouting for unique products and with a story to narrate. Anyone who appreciates quality and design will come looking for such products. The founders had nailed this aspect by carefully curating beautiful products with high-quality standards from different parts of India and other parts of the world, too. The exquisite brand collaborations we have for linen, preserved flowers, furniture, and rugs made the proposition better.

In all our other ventures, the essence of success has been good quality, design, and customer satisfaction. Treasure Trove fits perfectly with its offerings.  This inspired me to be part of this venture. It is another beautiful flower in the bouquet for us.

OVER to DARSHANA:

RM: Lab-grown diamonds in a home décor store is an unconventional move. What made Treasure Trove the right partner for Adaia Diamond’s first outpost beyond Chennai, and what do you bring here beyond the jewellery itself?

Darshana: (Smiles)… Think of it as the perfect quartet of answers.

1. Because beauty doesn’t belong in a vault, it belongs in life.

Adaia believes diamonds are not just for occasions but for everyday living to be experienced, not locked away. By placing fine, lab-grown diamonds alongside art, silverware, and interior objects, we blur the line between adornment and environment, bringing luxury into the rhythm of daily life.

2. Because ethical luxury should live where values meet aesthetics.

The home is the truest reflection of who we are. Introducing lab-grown diamonds, the most sustainable form of luxury into home décor, allows people to surround themselves with conscious beauty, not just wear it. It’s a quiet revolution in how luxury is experienced: refined, responsible, and deeply personal.

3. Because storytelling is richer when it’s multidimensional.

Adaia isn’t just a jewellery brand, it’s a world. A world where light, design, and emotion meet. The home space allows Adaia to express its philosophy of living with intention, turning décor, art, and jewels into interconnected forms of self-expression.

4. Because the modern consumer desires meaning, not just material.

Today’s audience values experience over possession. By expanding into décor, Adaia invites them to live the brand, to have diamonds in their rings and in the candlelight, in their homes and hearts. End of the day, as consumer perspective and segment are the same.
