Diwali is around the corner and everyone is busy decorating their homes. The festival of lights focuses more on making the house look great. And there are a few ways you can do that without spending a fortune.
A festive makeover is necessary during Diwali. And paint is on the top of the to-do list of festive makeover. There are a lot of inexpensive paint options in the market which you can use. Make sure you choose a colour theme that goes along with your furniture.
Other than paint, you can use wallpapers and acrylic stickers. Wallpapers are the cheap way to decorate walls. And there are festive stickers available that you can apply on walls and remove it later, without chipping the paint off.
The next best thing is curtains. These complete the look of your home. And curtains that complement your paint theme are a big yes. If you paint your home with light colours like white and beige then go for vibrant colours like green, royal blue and fiery orange. These colours scream festival and will amp up your decor.
Decorate the entrance in a grand way. It is the first thing a guest sees when he walks into your house. Use traditional decor like rangoli, curtains made of sea shells, or traditional handlooms. It definitely adds a traditional touch to the entrance.
For that extra oomph in your decor you can add extra lights. After all Diwali is all about lights. You can create corner in your home where you focus on lights. Like use wine bottles or sauce bottles and add rice lights to the bottle and put them near the windows.
Using the traditional diya is great for festival day. But on the other days you can hand craft decorations or use metal lamps – silver or brass to light up the house. With all the lights, do not forget with the flowers. For festivals, flowers are a must, specially Marigold.
