Capital Calling

Delhi opens its doors to the first IKEA showroom, a smaller size format but still packing quite a punch

Known for its sprawling warehouse-style stores, IKEA's latest move in Delhi raised a few eyebrows. Instead of another mega-format outlet, the Swedish giant has opened a compact 15,000 sq ft store at Pacific Mall, West Delhi. But that's where the surprise ends. Step inside and you'll find everything you'd expect from IKEA and then some. Dreamy bedrooms, organised kitchens, practical home offices, and aisles of standalone products. Choice isn't a problem, narrowing it down is.
