With Diwali a week away and our house prep in full blast, let's take a look at a few tips to ensure our homes are festival ready! The essence of home décor is to live in the surroundings you love. So keeping that in mind, it is important for one to go ahead with one's ideas and taste than with the current trends.
With our festivities this year being more indoors than outdoors, we've compiled a list of décor ideas that one could incorporate to brighten up the festivities and reflect your personal style!
The Right Lighting:
Diwali, Dussehra and pujas are all following the theme of good over evil and that light defeats the dark. So it becomes important to select and make use of the right lighting in the house. Making innovative use of candle light or hanging lights at either entrance or inside the house will go a long way into making your house festival ready.
These are some hanging lights that can be used at your entrance porch or in the corridors of your house with a small candle lit inside.
Not only will the decor look traditional but if a scented candle is used inside then it will make the house seem more inviting.
These beautiful Indian brass products are available at SoulTribe.
These are created and curated for the Indian households by an up and coming Indian home décor designer brand.
Another kind of lighting that can be used are Tea lights and Candles in Mason Jars.
Small tea lights can be put on the ground depending on what areas of the house you want the light to follow and Mason Jars can be hung in your balconies or common rooms in the house, giving a look of modern minimalistic vibe.
Pops of Colors:
With Indian festivals, one thing is for sure, that we are all about colors. From clothes to home décor, our festivals are incomplete without a flower vase, traditional lampshades and Rangolis.
These quirky lampshades by Soultribe offer to add to one's house with just the right amount of patterns, warmth and light.
These cushion covers, also by SoulTribe, designed in various patterns, prints and colors, gives one abundant choices to pick from for the décor of a room.
Incorporate the shine of your brass elements, polish them nicely to pop out against a bolder color palette, This season you can experiment with bolder colors like deep reds, burnt oranges ambers and sunny mustards. Pair these up with cushions in woven textiles and traditional motifs.
Flower patterns and Rangolis are simple and common but they go a long way into giving your house a happy touch for the festival time. Floating colorful divas can also be used as a decoration item in your entrance porch.
Scented rooms:
Giving the right touch of smell to the room makes the house more inviting and welcoming.
With two weeks of dressing up and wishing, scented candles are a sure shot way to keep the house seeming fresh at anytime of the day.
Room Settings:
Rearrangement of furniture makes your house look new with minimum effort. Changing the direction of sofas or addition of flower vase or lampshade, or dining table decoration with a candle set up in the center makes the room look different yet same.
Using similar patterns to cushion covers and lampshades available at SoulTribe, gives a sense of symmetry and harmony to the room décor.
