Diwali is the festival of lights and marks the victory of good over evil. So lots of lighting and lots of love this year is a great combination.
Here are some amazing ideas to decorate your homes this Diwali
- The first and foremost thing to be done is decluttering. Remove everything that’s old and cannot be reused. Organise your kitchen, living area, prayer room, bedrooms and bathrooms.
- If you are planning on changing the look of your whole house, start with repainting. The popular colour choices are hues of yellows, oranges, Reds, whites, creams and gold.You can also mix and match with an earthy tone and a bright tone to bring some balance and brighten up the festivities.
- But if you want a quick makeover within your budget, decorate a wall with a good wallpaper and some art pieces. That changes the look of a room instantly.
- Lot’s of lighting comes in handy. Like diyas, candles in every shape and size, glittery fairy lights or colorful LED lights. Colourful lampshades and glass jar lanterns can be used to add the extra zing.
- Change the sofa pillow-covers according to your color palette. Or the cushion covers with paintings, embroidery or pom poms look great too.
- Use flower garlands, latkan, torans and flower petals to decorate. A glass bowl with some water, a Diya and a few flower petals placed on your coffee table gives the whole place an aesthetic look.
- Rangoli with vibrant colours and flower petals is a must. You can also enjoy making beautiful Rangoli designs with your partner, kids or neighbours. It could be a great bonding idea.
- Add curtains and rugs to enhance your home decor. Choose them according to your festive decor and color palette.
- Place diyas and lamps in patterns to create aesthetic looks but safety is important too. So make sure to keep them away from curtains and such things that could catch fire easily.
