Swap out your regular cushions and throws for colorful fabrics that reflect the festive spirit. Choose vibrant colors like red, gold or orange. Additionally consider using traditional textiles like silk for table runners and curtains.

5.Create a puja corner:
If you have a designated puja (prayer) area, enhance its beauty with decoration. Use a beautiful cloth as a backdrop, arrange flowers and light candles or diya. This will create a serene atmosphere for prayer and reflection.

6.Add artistic touches:
Consider incorporating art pieces such as painting or sculptures that reflect Indian culture and heritage. These can serve as focal points in your décor. Handmade crafts, such as terracotta or bras items can also add character to your space.

7.Scent of your room:
To create an inviting atmosphere, use incense sticks, essential oil diffusers, or scented candles. Fragrances like sandalwood, Jasmine and rose can enhance the festive vibe and create a calming environment.
