The festive season is around the corner, and it is again that time of the year when you can flaunt those aromatic candles and those colourful murals to give your house a festive vibe.
And when it comes to decorating the house for an Indian festival, there is a multitude of ideas to keep your space looking warm and beautiful every day while providing a joyous ambience for your guests.
This Diwali, we provide you with a list of our most simple festive home décor tips that can make it easy to create a magical vibe indoors:
Make the most of the festive sales
Come October and it rains sales across all the e-commerce stores in India.
Make the most of this opportunity and buy those home accessories you have eyeing all long. From designer showpieces to that corner decorative, adding some trendy accessories will certainly add life to an otherwise dull room.
Buy a combination of a few small accessories that can be scattered around, along with one or two dramatic pieces that can work as a focal point.
Add colours
Diwali is all about colours and light. To bring in the festive mood, up the colour quotient in most of your dreams. From colourful bedding to decorative cushions, from royal curtains to rugs, replace the neutrals with bright, glittery reds, blues, and greens.
Bring out the old photos and get them nicely framed and place them on empty walls.
And don’t forget the rangoli for some beautiful blend of colours that will brighten up your doorway.
Create dramatic visual impact with designer ceilings
A designer ceiling can create a dramatic visual impact. From an array of designer ceilings to crazy chandeliers, you can have a festive makeover for your ceiling. If a chandelier seems like an expensive option, you can go for affordable choices like a paper lamp or Chinese lantern.
Go Indian with the curtains
Celebrate the finesse of Indian fabric and change your curtains for an immediate lift. A mix of Chanderi curtains with a decoration of raw silk can light up even the most boring houses. And the fact that they allow a whole more light is like a bonus.
Light up traditions
Ditch the modern-day scented candles and opt for traditional diyas instead for a different experience. Decorate the diyas on your own, and if you are missing the scent, add some scented oils to the diyas. Complete the look with LED string lights, and some bold-coloured statement lanterns. A mix of traditional and modern can make your house look wow and guests go aww.
Flowers and more
Marigolds are perfect for festive home decoration. The more the merrier! Use them to decorate the doors, staircases, balconies, and of course, the entryways. Add some rose, lotus and ‘bandanwar’ made up of mango leaves, and the house will speak of the festive spirit around.
A traditional bowl with few jasmines and rose petals floating around near the doorway – pure heaven!
Unwrap those gifts from last year
Do you still have gifts from last year’s festive season lying around unwrapped? Perhaps, now is the time to unwrap and see what can be done with them. From finally using that dinner set that has been lying around for eternity to wrapping some of the gifts for recycling this year, nothing screams festival as much as an array of wrapped gifts lying around.
Remember, whatever you do to decorate your home for the festive season should reflect your taste and style. Festivals are all about celebrations. Don’t get too stressed about decorating your home.
Just enjoy the whole process and make sure you are enjoying every bit of the festive season.
