About Us
Who We Are?
The Yellow Dwelling’s humble journey began in early 2018 with a search for the finest quality home furnishings that were unique, eco-friendly yet affordable. Over the past few years, it has grown not only as a business but has craved a niche for itself in bringing the best of cotton and natural fibre home furnishings at reasonable prices. We believe sustainability need not be boring and eco-friendliness need not be expensive.
Today the brand has eight retail stores in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Pune, Chennai and Secunderabad. We ship across the country as well as internationally via our website.
The dream continues to grow strongly, as the brand strives to bring its customers quality contemporary home furnishing across categories like curtains and blinds, cushions, dining linen, bed linen, wall decor and more.
The Yellow Dwelling promises to help you turn your house into a home and create that happy and cheerful space while following sustainable, eco-friendly and ethical manufacturing practices.

Our Belief
Our brand is a reflection of us, we are ardent advocates of following sustainable practice. We believe sustainability is the future and is no longer going to be an option, but a necessity. While building our brand we knew that it was crucial for us to produce and package our products in a sustainable manner. 100% of our products are locally made and with all natural fibers. Extra care is taken to ensure that our beliefs are adhered to; responsible sourcing, sustainable and fair trade practices throughout our manufacturing processes. Previously, the term sustainability has been synonymous with luxury products. We strive to break that myth and create sustainable products accessible to all.
Our Products
All our products are made from a 100% natural material such as cotton (BCI certified), jute, river grass and water reed grass. The colours we use for printing also meet the highest safety standards (OEKO TEX standard 100). Our mission is to ensure we provide our customers with quality and eco-friendly furnishings that help turn their houses in homes. While ensuring the products are aesthetically pleasing it’s very important for us to guarantee functional products that are also easy to maintain. We sell a wide range of products such as curtains which can be customized to your needs, throw cushions, dining (table cloths, runners, placemats and napkins) , bedding (fitted or flat sheets, throws and quilts) and home decor options like woven baskets, terracotta and banana fibre lighting.
