Top Diwali Decorative Ideas!!

by Poorvi Pasari on October 29, 2018

Diwali is round the corner again and I have been trying to come up with some new Diwali decor ideas for my home this year. Now I do realise that ‘new’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘never done before’. It usually means ‘put together differently’. This one post will give you plenty Diwali decor ideas for your whole home. So let’s get right to … some absolute favourite top Diwali decor ideas .

DESI DECOR

Diwali is also the best time to showcase your rangoli. It is usually done at doorsteps, near the puja or in a corner of the room. Rangoli stencils come really handy to help you make cleaner patterns. Add diyas to your rangoli to make it look spectacular.A lot of homes use floral rangolis which are much easier to do. You can use flowers and petals of different colours to make them.

Draping String lights around door windows

We all usually hang up our string lights outside our windows. That’s great for the outside, but I also like to get Diwali INSIDE my home. So drape them around your doors and windows inside your rooms. The twinkle and soft glow is mesmerizing.

Else, weave your fairy lights through an existing screen you have. It looks stunning!You can also drape them around your bureaus and side units or line them along shelves.

Make a String Light CHANDELIER!!

You can find this really easy DIY to make a chandelier from a hula-hoop right here. Hang this in your foyer, above your dining table or in a decorative corner.

Use "Flower Garlands "Light to make a focal point

You could hang these garlands behind your pooja idol. It could be a corner you want to decorate with your brassware and lamps, or an empty wall you want to make festive. A few strings of flowers can make the area your focal point and the center of your festive room. I love the way different colours of flowers have been used asymmetrically to make the beautiful screen below.

SPANGELD TEALIGHT VOTIVE HOLDER

found the perfect Diwali centrepiece in this beautiful spangled tealight votive holder from my AA Living store. I dressed it up by placing it in a mirror’ed tray and a sprinkle of tiny fairylights (battery operated) that would further reflect the light. It goes well with my modern house but still adds that sparkle element that I love about Diwali! You can also combine different lights to get a similar effect. Combining tealights and fairy lights together is very effective – make sure you use a large number and cluster them together to get a similar effect.

FLOWERS PAIRED WITH CANDLES

Flowers are great for calming an overactive mind and to rejuvenate our souls during the hustle bustle of the festivals hence I place them in every corner of my home.
