Light It Up: 3 Tips for Decorating Your Home This Diwali
It’s that time of year again, where we welcome the festival of lights and prepare our houses for the auspicious occasion of Diwali. A celebration signifying the start of a new year on the Hindu calendar, this festivity centres around joyousness, prosperity and love, and what better way to celebrate than to decorate, host parties and spend time with loved ones?
This Diwali, why not decorate like a pro and make sure you have everything you need to make it an unforgettable one. We’ve come up with the ultimate guide to ready your homes for this upcoming festive season.
1. Decor Galore:
Diwali is not only about the festival of lights; it’s one of the most auspicious occasions as it signifies a new year for those who celebrate. There is no better special occasion than this to break out all the glitz and glam decor you’ve been saving up. From the gorgeous decorative round plates
to the beautiful vases to hold the various bunches of flowers you’ll be receiving, go all out this Diwali. A special candle tip is to light your tea candles, place them atop of coasters
and place a glass
on top of it, trapping the candle inside to give it a fancier look.
2. Bright and Colourful:
The festival of lights is quite a colourful affair with the main colour palette being: red, gold, orange and yellow, as these are usually associated with fire and light. You can also mix and match with complementary colours such as silver, white and cream. Don’t be afraid to also throw in some bright colours too like pink or purple to break the monotony of the oranges and yellows; a gold mirror
and decorative centrepiece would contrast excellently with a pink
or purple cushion cover
.
3. Lights, Camera, Action!
This is, after all, the festival of lights, so make sure you have plenty of diyas
, candles and lights this Diwali. Don’t forget to also consider getting candle holders
so you don’t have candle wax all over your surfaces to deal with after. Some candle alternatives could be string lights in candle holders
, or for those who enjoy scented candles but not the mess that comes with it, should consider scented diffusers
– same scent with zero clean-up.
