Navaratri is already here and decorating your home with carefully curated 9-color pallets is a powerful way to refresh and elevate your space. However, if you have not started your preparation and aren’t sure of how to start, we have got you covered. As Durga Puja begins tomorrow (Shashti), redefine your home and set the mood for the festival with some thoughtful changes. Whether you are aiming for a calm and comforting, a bold and energizing space, or something in between, a well-chosen palette can bring harmony and personality to your abode. Here are some last-minute practical tips to change the look of your home and ensure seamless transformation.
Create apujaspace
First thing first! Choose a corner of your house where you can set up a small puja space or pandal for the goddess Durga. To decorate your little pandal use vibrant fabrics and colours like red, and yellow as the backdrop. Add marigold garlands and fairy lights to elevate the spiritual vibe. Don’t forget to add incense for a calming and energizing atmosphere at home.
Opt for traditional decorations.
Torans, rangoli, urli with flowers and diyas can never go out of style. Hand flower or bead torans at the entrance and doorways for prosperity and to give your home a festive touch. A simple rangoli with bright colors and flower petals at the entrance will elevate the look of your home. Use floating diyas with flowers in a large decorative bowl filled with water. Keep this in your living area for a calming effect.
Set the ambience with lighting
