Whether you’re hosting a get-together or simply want to create a festive atmosphere, here are some trending home decor ideas to brighten up your space this Navratri.
During Navratri, bright colors represent happiness and positivity. Use bold colors like red, yellow, orange, and green for decoration. Brighten up your home with colorful cushions, throws, rugs, and curtains. Add a festive touch to your walls with colorful wall art that incorporates traditional motifs and images of goddesses.
2. Create a rangoli display.
Rangolis are a major part of Navratri decorations representing prosperity and auspiciousness. Create imaginative and colorful rangoli patterns using flower petals, colored powder, and rice flour. Placing diyas or LED lights around the rangoli will make the rangoli more beautiful and brighten up the space. Try different designs and traditional motifs to give your rangoli a unique touch.
3. Light diyas and candles:
Lighting plays an important role in Navratri decorations as it represents the victory of light over darkness. Decorate your home with diyas, candles and lanterns to create a cozy atmosphere. Place it on a windowsill, mantle, or around a puja room to create a soft, soothing glow. To enhance the ambiance, choose candles with festive scents like sandalwood, jasmine, and rose.
During Navratri, flowers symbolize beauty, purity and devotion. Decorate your home with fresh flower arrangements or artificial flower garlands to add elegance and freshness to your interiors. Bring nature indoors by creating a floral centerpiece on your dining table or placing them around your living space. For a traditional and beautiful look, choose marigold, rose, lotus, or jasmine flowers.
5. Decorate your puja corner:
During Navratri, the puja room is very important for spiritual worship. Decorate with traditional items like brass and silver diyas, incense holders, idols of deities and sacred symbols. Use soft lighting and fragrant incense to create a quiet, sacred space for prayer and meditation.
6. Add ethnic textiles and accessories.
To further enhance the festive atmosphere, incorporate Indian textiles and traditional accessories into your home décor. Incorporate color and texture by using colorful fabrics like silk and cotton sarees, dupattas, and tablecloths. Decorate with beautifully embroidered cushions, tapestries and wall hangings with traditional motifs and intricate patterns.
