Located in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar, Freedom Tree is a design and colour strategy studio, that takes a departure from traditional retail stores. The studio exudes a welcoming, homely warmth, with every corner thoughtfully designed to reflect different parts of a home. Housed in a refurbished 1960s family residence, this sprawling 2500 sq ft layout has been remodeled to embrace warm red brick walls, greenery, and glass roofs that allow ample light to flood the space. A soft, understated backdrop graces the store, serving as the perfect background for its colourful selections. These collections—a refreshing contrast from the store’s serenading atmosphere—include a curation of everything you might need to create a welcoming and well-appointed home, all in one place. Think modern handcrafted furniture pieces that are quirky and cheerful ceramic dining sets that spruce up your home. Exploring its various corners will reveal nature-inspired wall art, illustrated textiles for curtains, accent chairs, and understated wallpapers. As you head to the upper floor, a range of handpainted and woven textiles inspire a deeper, more thoughtful process of designing a home. However, animal figurines from Freedom Tree— in renditions of vases and planters are something to look out for. With the brand’s reputation for designing decor and furniture that evoke a ‘happy home’, its ambience throughout the store feels fitting. Freedom Tree is also a welcoming destination for those curating their homes for the first time, with interactive displays allowing customers to mix and match tableware, fabric swatches, and more. In the lively neighbourhood frequented by an eclectic crowd, Freedom Tree is a respite from the street’s thriving pubs and bustling cafes. With locations in distinctive settings across Hyderabad, Goa, Mumbai, and Pune—some in unconventional or repurposed spaces—each store is deeply inspired by its surrounding neighbourhood and the spirit of its free people.
