How to amp up your home decor this festive season
Festivals are a perfect occasion to give your home interiors a fresh vibe that mirrors the spirit of celebration and togetherness. Amping up your interiors can transform your living spaces into a welcoming and visually captivating haven. As festivities such as Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali approach, NewsBytes consulted experts for creative ways to revitalize home decor during the festive season.
Classic fragrances
"Create a tidy corner by the window sill where you can relax and unwind. Assemble some scented candles in classic fragrances like lavender, and lemongrass," recommends Ridhima Kansal, Director, Rosemoore. Indians often burn incense sticks in the evenings, a tradition believed to bring household benefits. Embrace this age-old practice with aromatic incense coils or sticks, infusing a nostalgic festive aroma indoors.
Traditional decorative items
Traditional homes frequently include trinkets, wall art, sculptures, figurines, and other decorative items, in contrast to modern design, which is based on minimalism. "Traditional design favors intricately framed decorative mirrors as a terrific way to enlarge any area," says Ashish Aggarwal, MD of Indo Innovations. Aggarwal suggests adding large area rugs and pieces of wall art to amp up your home during festivities.
Elaborate furniture designs
Traditional design emphasizes soft edges over sharp angles. "This applies to the intricate carvings found on traditional wooden furniture and the ample, round cushions adorning classic sofas. This not only creates a warm, inviting ambiance but also enhances the comfort of different furniture pieces," explains Aggarwal. Consider opting for such traditional, elaborate wooden furniture during the festival season to elevate your home's festive charm.
Opulent wood tones
Raghunandan Saraf, CEO of Saraf Furniture, highlights the essence of traditional interior design- a focus on serene, consistent, and tidy furniture for a cozy, homely ambiance. In traditional design, rich wood tones are often favored for bedroom, living room, and dining room furniture, as well as flooring and kitchen cabinetry. Consider incorporating these wood tones for a festive and warm home decor this season.
Patterned upholstery
Patterned upholstery can be a terrific way to add a touch of traditional charm, especially when decorating a living room, opines Saraf. "Whether you prefer stripes, plaid, or floral prints, there's always room for playful patterns in a conventional living room. These designs can act as a focal point in addition to adding texture to the space," he says.
