10 Amazing Ideas to Decorate Your House for Navratri

A perfect start to Navratri is decking up the nooks and corners of your house. Let your house be adorned with glittering lights and colours. If you are wondering how to decorate your home for Navratri, here are some tips to enhance the festive mood.

1. Lighting

Without lighting, any festival is less on enthusiasm. Lighting brings warmth to your place. You can pick up pattern lights as your Navratri light decoration for your home. Bright colours would definitely dazzle the outer part of your home. But don’t forget to pick up some cool shade for indoors, like blue or purple. And to top it all, get yourself clicked with lights in the background.

2. Flower Vase

It may happen that the corners are looking empty, even after you have finished giving your home a complete makeover. Keep some vases handy and place some nice orchids or decorative flowers just to enhance the mood. As a plus, these flowers are easy to change on a daily basis and would fill the room with a nice fragrance throughout the day.

3. Carpets

It is time for hosting great gatherings. Friends and relatives would come over and one of the best ways to grab attention is by placing rugs and carpets strategically. Their exquisite design would charm your guests. In a subtle way, carpets outline furniture in the room and accentuate the beauty of your lovely living space.

4. Wall Decor

Stylishly-framed wall art or a beautiful painting can always give your living room a touch of your taste. Nice paintings or cultural artwork, murals, and wall decor can enthral your guests the moment they cast a glance at it. At the same time, a wall with artwork creates a definitive contrast and increases the beauty of the space in an unimaginable way.

5. Wind Chime

Mostly overlooked, a simple wind chime like that made by bells or shells can make your house look beautiful. At the same time, decorative wind chimes can redefine the look of the room. And with the slightest wind, it will fill the room with a sweet jingling sound.

6. Artificial Flowers

The door frames, windows and other places can be decorated with some artificial flowers to enhance the festive mood. Natural flowers are always better, but you may find it a hassle to change them every day.

7. Garbo

Keeping earthen pots or garbo with lamps inside is a Navratri tradition. It gives the room a more traditional look. Choose some pots with exciting designs that suit your personal taste and go with the festive spirit. You can place dry coconut on top of the pots.

8. Alpana or Rangoli

Rangoli or alpana is to usher in the festive spirit. They are symbols of good fortune. You can create designs both inside and outside the house to enrich the traditional feel of your home. You can use coloured rice or flowers or both to create these lovely looking designs. You can also start Durga Puja decoration with alpana.

9. Traditional Diyas

Normally, it is the altar or the room that has the deity in it, where we place diyas. But diyas can be a very good way to decorate your house. So without limiting it to just the Puja room, light up diyas in every nook and corner of the house. This would increase the beauty of your house.

10. Toran

Toran bears the mark of auspiciousness and it is nice to have one on your entrance door. You can design it yourself. All you need are some colourful pieces of cloth, small mirrors and mango or coconut leaves as they are considered auspicious.

Festival time is all about sharing happiness and in the process, watching it grow multifold. Share your happiness this time with your home and feel the difference.
