5 Easy Tips to make your home decor ready for the Festive Season

Festivals are synonymous with love, laughter and timeless memories. However, all these elements can be cherished even more with a gorgeous backdrop of décor trends that complement the livelihood of the season. Read on for the top home décor ideas you can incorporate in your home to embrace the spirit of the festivities.

Follow the light
Indulging in luxurious lighting solutions is the best way to bring in the festive season. Spruce up the interiors of your home with bright lights to welcome guests and well-wishers. Lights provide the dual benefit of uplifting the spirit of the season and instantly enhancing the look of your home. However, the sky's the limit when it comes to decorating your home with festive lights. Opt for trendy lampshades that can be placed either on the floor or a decorative shelf if you want to maintain the tone of your existing décor. You can also play around with string lights and even tiny diyas to add that much-needed twinkle to your space.

Placement is everything
While decorating your home for the festive season, it is important to focus on key areas that will instantly attract your guests and make your space lively and inviting. It is best to start from the entrance of your home. You can either decorate your entrance with quirky wall hangings mounted on the main door or border it with dainty streamers that strike the perfect balance of sophistication and fun. It is also a good idea to decorate the pooja room and common sit-out area with basic elements of the festive season like lamps. If you are living in a gated community, don’t forget to decorate your balcony with lights to stand out in the building, or better yet, decorate the corridor with your neighbours and light up the entire floor!

It is also a great idea to welcome your guests with traditional kolam designs drawn at the entrance with rice flour or chalk powder. You can also add an element of glamour by using colour powder to fill up the designs and placing miniature diyas in the corners.

DIY interiors
DIY interior design projects are the best way to express your excitement for the festive season with a personalised touch. There are a variety of DIY projects you can indulge in to enhance your home décor as per your personality and style. For example, you can create a string of lights with colourful paper cups or make eye-catching thread lanterns and keep the compliments coming! You can also bring out the artist in you and hang up a gorgeous oil-painting that goes with the vibe of the festive season. From wall hangings to string lights in a glass bottle and floating candles, the world is your oyster when it comes to DIY festive home décor.
 

Indulge in aromatherapy
Take your home interiors game up a notch by indulging in décor that caters to all the senses of your body. While making your home visually appealing, it is equally important to enhance it with a refreshing scent, lingering through the rooms and corridors. You can either opt for pretty potpourri bowls placed strategically in every room or use scented candles with a gorgeous candle stand to add an element of drama. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of fragrances – from aqua scents to floral perfumes – to refresh your mind, body and soul.

Scented candles and potpourri can be placed in any room of your house, creating an aromatic envelope of love and warmth wherever you are. They also add to the look and feel of your home because of their elegant packaging and spectrum of colours. You can also try placing flat candles in a shallow bowl of water and watch the reflections dance with the flames.

Bright festive colours
Vibrant colours and festive seasons have always gone hand-in-hand. Make your home Pinterest-worthy with colours that complement the spirit of the festival. Get out of your comfort zone with bright colours like red and purple or go subtle and contemporary with earthy tones that reflect your personal sense of style. You can either paint one wall of the room or change your upholstery to add a dash of bold colours. If you are looking for a budget-friendly tip that doesn’t cause a drastic change to your interiors, you can accessorise your place as per your preferences. From lush carpets and throws to quirky cushion covers and centrepieces, tweak your interiors just enough to begin the festivities!
