The festival certainly brings a lot of joy and excitement but let us not forget the stress that it creates in the family. Preparation for the festival starts with cleaning and re-decorating your homes. Flowers, rangolis, and lights are used to decorate houses. Getting your home Diwali ready is none other than a major task that requires a lot of time, and energy as well as a few ideas for decorating.
Before you start decorating, make sure you have cleaned and dusted every corner of the house. This will make it easier for you to start the fun process of decorating. Here are a few tips and ideas which could be used or kept in mind while getting your home ready for the festival of lights.
Pooja Room
With blessings from the almighty, let us start at the pooja room. Go all out while decorating this room. This is the best way to create a positive vibe during the auspicious festival. Brighten up the room by using a few antique brass lamps on either side of the room. If possible, also hang some traditional oil lamps on the sides. Complement light with colors by placing flowers around. You can always use a brass bowl or a plate and arrange flowers in them. Adding an authentic Pooja thali will complete the entire look.
Living Room
The room which sees the most festive spirit is the common family room. The living room needs to look lively during every festival and Diwali is no exception. Flower arrangements, diyas, candles, decor, and furnishings, collectively will create an inspiring space. Use a nice traditional bowl to place your flower arrangements. Light up the entire space with a lot of diyas, lamps, and scented candles.
Creative use of tea light candles will also create an eye-catching experience. Adding furnishings on your sofa could be a highlight. A nice and elegant chandelier could go a long way. Make sure not to overdo the decorations. Having decorations you build make your room look smaller. Remember to use bright colors and ample amounts of light to seal the entire space.
Dining Room
Diwali is incomplete if no special food is served. Decide the type of table seating you would wish to follow. You can lay out some beautiful cutlery for your guests. Serve your food from mesmerizing brass bowls and plates. These would provide a very authentic yet modern setting for your guests.
