The days leading up to Diwali are all about decluttering and dusting every corner of your home, preparing sweets and feasts, and updating our festive wardrobes. Whether you’re hosting friends and family at home during the occasions or simply getting in the festive spirit of things, it’s important to pay attention to the little details when it comes to decorating. While making drastic changes may not be possible at the last moment, there are still many ways you can dress up your space so that it looks good as new.
A simple change of lighting and upholstery or adding a few accessories can refresh decor in no time. From adding accents to your puja room to brighten up the living area, we have handpicked the must-haves from our Home store that are both charming and welcoming.
Light Up Your Space
The festive season is incomplete without love and light, so warming up your space with a mix of lamps and candles should be your first step. While fairy lights are the go-to solution, we recommend bringing in a unique hand-etched table lamp or glass lantern in jewel tones this year. Don’t forget to add in a multi-wick natural candle that also fills up the room with a calming scent.
Traditional Treats
Your pooja room is essentially the centre of all the activity during Diwali season and needs special attention this time of your. Whether it’s an elaborate or compact space, don’t hold back with traditional accessories and decorations. While an antique brass lamp with diya stand or a silver tray are puja must-haves, you can add more life to the space with a set of brass urlis around the figurines with fresh flowers.
Accessories That Stand Out
If you’re planning to host an intimate dinner or cards party, then your space is going to need some talking points. Tall standing planters in rose gold tones will elevate the look of your room instantly, while a hand tufted wool rug in ceremonial colours will bring the space together beautifully. Add plenty of colours and textures with mixed-and-matched cushions, rugs and trinkets.
Gift Guide
While you’re drawing up your Diwali shopping list, don’t forget to plan your gifts in advance. Pieces like decorative dinner plates and silverware always make for memorable and utilitarian gifts. A multi-purpose trunk is ideal for the quirky friend, while classics like carved lanterns and candle holders are elegant gifting options on any occasion.
