Easy Diwali Décor Super Tips!
It is that time of the year when festivities all over the country bring in great zeal and passion
into the lives of the people. Here are some tips on Diwali Decor to enliven
your house without changing its complete interiors.
LIGHTING
- As we all know Diwali is the festival of lights. Lamps
are an indispensible part of decorating a space.
- Decor elements like fairy lights, seashell
candles, glass bottle lights, etc., add to the perfect festive look.
- Floor lamps brighten up a seating area, low lamps
hung from a rope for a reading space and even carved table lamps complement
your bed or sofa side providing a sense of tranquillity.
- Yellow lights with a mellow glow are recommended
as they complement the glow from the diyas and votives.
COLOURS
- If you are unwilling to repaint the entire house,
concentrate on a key wall, maybe in the living room or in the foyer, to create
an accent wall.
- Repainting a wall in a striking red or orange
(again, traditional Diwali colours; red represents shakti (power or energy),
orange symbolises positivity) and setting it off with a gold-trimmed mirror or
painting can accentuate a space immensely.
CUSHIONS
- This is an easy and quick hack to make your home look like
it’s been revamped, without spending a lot of money.
- Nothing can vivify the space like a set of attractive cushion
covers.
- These can be the ones you use on chairs and sofas, and also
floor cushions that can serve as extra seating.
- Cushions embellished with sequins,
mirror-work, zardozi and zari with traditional motifs and bold colours can
brighten up an otherwise dull room and compliment the festive spirit.
CURTAINS
- When it comes to doing up the house,
curtains pretty much pop-up on every home decor list.
- It’s not just about privacy, window
drapes are a great way to add an artistic element to your decor.
- Unlined decorative curtains let the warm
glow of lights filter through them and give your home a cosy feel.
- Sequins, small pieces of mirror and string
lights on bright coloured curtains give them a gorgeous look.
RUGS
- A carpet or a rug is one of
the most vital elements of your festive home decor.
- A
handmade soft, warm textured or hand-woven carpet in cotton, wool or silk gives
definition to a space and makes it look more exclusive and attractive.

it is the weather to welcome guests at
home, the carpet induces a warm touch under the foot.

nostalgic of the art and the culture of our festivals

are the basic decors of any house which welcomes the festival of lights into a new
space.

mix of bright colours of rangoli and flowers add a striking contrast
instantly and gets you in the festive
mood .

chain of decorative diyas and lamps can style up the rangoli pattern.
- Rangolis
are the eye candy of the house for whoever visits the house during the festival
of Diwali.

décor which can articulate a space.

copper artefacts reflect more light. It adds charm and serenity to a space.

your interiors.
