Bandhanwars
The sparkling jewels and the colorful threads in your doorway are going to bring a smile on every person’s face who visits you.

Rangoli
We Indians are colorful souls and no amount of color is ever over the top for us. Be it the traditional rangoli or the trendy one, rangolis are another ways you can express your festive vibes. Now you don’t need to be very skilled or artistic to have a rangoli in your lobby. There are a lot of rearrange-able rangolis made with kundan work and pearls which will uplift your decor to another level.

Flowers
The fresh aroma and the beauty of nature holds its special place in our hearts and thus, it has to also be a part of our home as well. No Indian festival is complete without flowers. You may use flowers to make rangolis, to decorate your table tops, to hang up with your lighting, and what not. The possibilities are infinite of decorating with flowers, and it’s special because nothing else can add the freshness that flowers do.

Lanterns
Ever thought of Diwali without imagining a lantern in the scene? No right? That is how important lanterns are in Diwali. Buy it or make it like a family art project, each one of them is special and brings in the Diwali vibes like nothing else. As the festivities are approaching new styles and designs are entering the market. I am sure you’ll be surprised with what’s new.‌

Diyas
From ages diyas are the example of light and the festival of light is so incomplete without them. You can opt for colorful diyas, if you wish for something that really shouts ‘Diwali is here’ go for something with some kundan work and mirrors. It will go really well with the rangoli as well, if you can find these, make them. The decoration material is easily available in stationary stores, just glue them as per your liking and you will have your statement diyas ready.

So my dear festive lover, are you excited to get your home Diwali ready? I know I am, and this year it’s going to be extra fun and extra quirky. Which one among the five got you really excited? For me it would be the lanterns, and diyas; or maybe I am just excited to go shopping.

I am an architecture student and I am strongly drawn to Design, Decor, DIY and Lights. I love experimenting with different styles of designs from Art-deco to Contemporary, from Eclectic to Scandinavian and so many more. If I was to describe my style of design, I like to find a balance between traditional and modern style; Pastels and Neutrals are my favorite colors to play with. I love layering and adding textures through different materials of fabrics, metals, woods and tiles. I feel that’s what gives a design some personality of people staying there and makes it unique.
