Choosing your piece
Start with the room. Then find the piece that belongs in it.
What does Aartaa Decor make?
We create handcrafted lighting and decorative pieces for homes and project spaces: chandeliers, pendant lights, wall lights, lamps, mirrors, consoles and accent furniture. Our work brings classical detail and Indian craftsmanship into interiors that feel personal.
Explore an existing design, discuss an adaptation, or bring us a brief for a bespoke piece.
How do I choose the right size for my room?
Start with your room dimensions, ceiling height and the furniture around the piece. For lighting, include the table or seating arrangement below it; for a mirror or console, share the usable wall width and nearby doors or switches.
Send a photograph and a few measurements through our contact page. We can review proportion and placement with you before you commit.
Which materials and finishes do you use?
Materials vary by design and may include brass, glass, crystal, wood, marble, alabaster and other decorative materials. The product page or quotation should identify the materials and finish for your selected piece.
If a particular material, finish tone or surface treatment matters to your project, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can check it specifically.
Will a handmade piece look exactly like the photographs?
The photographs show the design direction, proportions and finish. Handwork and natural materials can introduce subtle differences in grain, veining, surface tone and small decorative details; screen settings can also affect colour.
Before ordering, ask us to clarify any detail that is essential to you. Handcrafted variation does not mean that damage or a manufacturing concern should be ignored.
Can I see a piece or discuss it in person?
Please contact us before planning a visit so we can confirm the location, availability of the piece and an appropriate time. A listed design may be made to order rather than available for immediate viewing.
You can find our Kolkata address and contact details on the contact page.
Bespoke & project orders
Your dimensions, your setting, a considered design response.
Can you customise a design?
Many designs can be reviewed for changes to size, suspension length, finish, material direction or quantity. What is possible depends on the structure, materials and intended setting.
Share your requirements before placing an order. We will review feasibility and confirm the agreed specification in writing rather than assume that every alteration is possible.
What should I send for a quotation?
A useful brief makes the conversation much more precise. Please include:
- The product link, name or reference image.
- Project city, room type and quantity.
- Room dimensions, ceiling height and required piece size.
- Preferred materials, finish and budget range.
- Your required delivery date, plus photographs or drawings where available.
For a large chandelier, also flag access restrictions and any known ceiling or installation constraints.
What does “made to order” mean?
It means the piece is produced for your order rather than taken from ready stock. Size, finish, materials and any agreed adaptations need to be settled before production.
Please review the specification, payment terms, estimated production and dispatch timing, and return conditions before approving the order. Availability on a product page should not be treated as a promise of immediate dispatch.
How long will my piece take to make?
Production timing depends on the design, materials, finish, quantity and current workshop commitments. We confirm the estimated production and dispatch timeline in writing for each made-to-order purchase.
If you are working towards a housewarming, handover or opening date, share it early. Ask us to distinguish the production estimate from transit time before finalising your schedule.
Do you work with architects, designers and hospitality teams?
Yes. We support architects, interior designers, builders and hospitality teams with ready designs, adaptations and bespoke lighting, mirrors and decorative pieces.
Share a drawing, lighting schedule or project brief so we can discuss scale, finishes, quantities, specification needs and a project quotation. Visit Trade & Architect Partners to start the conversation.
Ordering & payment
Know what is included before you say yes.
Should I buy online or request a quotation?
Use the purchase or enquiry route shown on the product page. For large, fragile, bespoke or made-to-order pieces, speak to us before checkout or quotation approval so we can review suitability, delivery and installation requirements.
An enquiry is especially useful when your order involves a custom finish, multiple pieces or a project deadline.
Why do some products have a price on request?
A project price can depend on size, finish, materials, quantity, protective packing and destination. A quotation lets us price the specification you actually need.
If a listing shows a placeholder, a zero price or asks you to enquire, please request written pricing before making payment. Do not treat a placeholder as the confirmed selling price.
Which payment methods and advance terms apply?
Use the payment options available at checkout, or the written payment instructions issued with your quotation. Advance and balance requirements for a bespoke order should be confirmed before you approve it.
If you need cash-on-delivery or partial-COD arrangements, ask us to confirm eligibility for your product and destination first. Never share card details, passwords or OTPs over a message.
What should I check in the final quotation?
Check the product name, quantity, dimensions, materials, finish and agreed custom details. Then review taxes, packing and freight, payment milestones, estimated production and dispatch timing, installation scope, and applicable warranty and return terms.
Ask whether bulbs, fixing accessories or other components are included. Keep the approved quotation and order confirmation together for reference.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the change you need. What can be changed or cancelled depends on the order stage, materials already arranged, work completed and the approved order terms.
Please obtain written confirmation from our team before assuming a change, cancellation or refund has been accepted.
Shipping & delivery
Careful planning for pieces that need careful handling.
Do you deliver across India?
We arrange shipping across India, subject to product and destination requirements. Share your complete delivery address and PIN code so we can review delivery feasibility, packing and freight for the piece.
For large items, tell us about lift dimensions, stairs, narrow entrances or restricted delivery access before approving the order.
Is shipping included in the price?
Check the shipping charge or inclusion shown at checkout or in your written quotation. Fragile, oversized, bespoke and international orders may need packing and freight reviewed separately.
If a promotion mentions free shipping, confirm that it applies to your selected product and destination. Any site handling or installation requirements should also be clarified in advance.
Can you ship internationally?
Selected products can be considered for international delivery after reviewing suitability, protective packing, destination and freight feasibility.
Our published policy generally places customs duties, import taxes, local clearance charges and destination compliance with the buyer unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please request a destination-specific quotation before ordering.
How are fragile pieces packed?
Packing is selected for the piece and may include protective wrapping, cushioning, reinforced boxes or crates, fragile marking and pre-dispatch checks.
For a high-value or bespoke order, you may request packing photographs or dispatch confirmation where operationally possible. Please also read our shipping and packaging information.
How can I check the progress of my order?
Contact us with your order or quotation number, the purchaser’s name and the delivery city. Let us know whether you are asking about production, dispatch or delivery so we can check the right stage.
For a dispatched order, ask for the available carrier or freight details and the current delivery estimate.
Installation & care
Help your piece settle in beautifully and stay that way.
Do you provide installation?
Installation arrangements depend on the product and project location. We can provide guidance and confirm whether support or a suitable specialist can be arranged.
Please confirm the scope, responsibility and any installation charges before ordering. Hardwired lighting and heavy mirrors or fixtures need appropriately qualified installers and suitable structural support.
What should I check before choosing a chandelier?
Share the room dimensions, ceiling height, position of the fitting and the furniture below it. Confirm the overall fixture dimensions, suspension drop, required clearance and access for delivery and assembly.
Your installer should verify ceiling support, fixings, wiring and electrical compatibility. Do not assume that an existing ceiling point can support a heavier fixture.
Are bulbs included, and can I use a dimmer?
Bulb inclusion, lamp-holder type, wattage guidance and dimming compatibility vary by product. Check the listing or ask us to state these in your quotation.
A dimmable bulb alone does not establish that the complete fitting and control are compatible. Confirm the bulb or driver, fixture specification and dimmer combination before purchase or installation.
How should I plan for a large mirror or console?
Measure the available wall and floor space, plus access through doors, lifts and stairs. For a mirror, check the overall dimensions including projecting decorative details, not only the central reflective area.
Confirm finished weight and mounting requirements before installation. A qualified installer should assess the wall and suitable fixings; never lift a decorative mirror by its floral or projecting ornaments.
How do I care for brass, glass, crystal and natural stone?
Follow the care instructions supplied for your particular piece and finish. As a starting point, use a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasives, harsh chemicals and excess moisture.
Switch off and isolate lighting before cleaning. Do not apply metal polish or a cleaning solution to a coated finish, stone, decorative glass or assembled fitting unless the product-specific instructions permit it. Ask us if you are unsure.
Returns & support
Clear next steps when you need a hand.
What should I do if an item arrives damaged?
Inspect the delivery carefully and contact us immediately if you notice damage. Share your order details, clear photographs or video of the affected area, and images of the packaging.
Keep the packaging and affected components while the case is reviewed, and avoid installing a damaged electrical fitting. Our team will review the concern under the order terms and published policy.
Can I return or exchange a made-to-order piece?
Our published policy generally excludes general returns or exchanges for custom-made, made-to-order, installed, altered or specially sourced products. Verified manufacturing concerns and transit-damage cases are reviewed under the applicable terms.
Ready-to-ship items are reviewed according to their product and order terms. Please read Warranty, Shipping & Returns before purchase and ask us to clarify anything important to your decision.
What warranty does my piece have?
Coverage depends on the product, material, electrical components and project scope. Confirm the applicable period, coverage and exclusions on the product page, quotation, invoice or written order confirmation.
Our published policy describes manufacturing-defect coverage where applicable and usual exclusions such as incorrect installation, misuse, unauthorised alteration, later breakage and normal finish ageing. Read the full policy.
Can I ask about a repair or replacement component?
Yes—send the product name, order details, photographs and a description of the component or concern. For a glass or decorative part, include a measurement and show where it belongs on the fitting.
We will review what can be supplied or repaired. Availability, colour or finish matching, cost and timing need to be confirmed for the specific piece.
