Colombo is a place for beautiful objets d'art, much to my surprise. The things you can find here are, in my opinion, equal to or surpass in beauty that found in Zara Home or other lifestyle and home decor shops.
Apart from Paradise Road and Barefoot which are the most written about I think everyone should visit the Roux Brothers and Gandhara and just prepare to swept off their feet. The finds here are simply breathtaking. I can't wait to buy something pretty from these places. The Roux Brothers have the antique touch to their furniture pieces and Gandhara has lots of things from all over the world, including lots of Chinese treasure chests, and wardrobes.
