In this article, we’ll explore seven exquisite decoration ideas that will not only add a touch of elegance to your space but also infuse the spirit of Deepavali, making your home a beacon of radiance and positivity.
From vibrant rangoli designs to the soft glow of diyas, these decorations will help you create a truly enchanting atmosphere for the festival.
7 Deepavali Decorations to Include in Your Celebrations
Rangoli
Rangoli are beautiful floor designs that symbolise prosperity, happiness and peach.
You can create your own intricate and colourful rangoli designs at your doorstep or in your living room.
All you need are some coloured powders, dyed sand, flower petals, or coloured rice.
Rangoli adds a touch of traditional elegance to your home.
Diyas and Candles
You can’t celebrate the Festival of Lights without some actual lights. These usually come in the form of fire and flame.
Traditional earthen lamps (diyas) and scented candles are a must for Deepavali.
Arrange them on windowsills, balconies, or in decorative arrangements.
You can also choose from decorative tea light holders for added charm.
String Lights
If you want to keep your Diwali celebrations fire-safe this year, try some string lights or fairy lights.
Simply decorate your home with strings of fairy lights or LED bulbs.
Hang them around windows, doorways, and on walls to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Traditional yellow lights or multicoloured options are both popular choices.
Paper Lanterns
Another great way to bring light into your home is with paper lanterns.
These come in both LED lights or traditional flame-lit candles.
You can hang colourful paper lanterns in various shapes to infuse a touch of whimsy into your decor.
They look beautiful indoors and outdoors and add a festive touch to your home.
Flower Décor
Flowers are an essential part of prayers and devotions to the gods and goddesses.
Aside from the Lakhsmi altar, you can also include fresh flower garlands, especially marigold and rose, as part of your main Deepavali decor.
Hang them around door frames, create floral rangoli, or craft flower torans (doorway decorations) to welcome guests.
Toran
Decorative door hangings known as ‘torans’ can be made from flowers, leaves, beads, or other materials.
These are garlands that you hang above entrances, doorways and thresholds.
According to Hindu culture, torans are used to please and attract the goddess Lakhsmi, who is responsible for bringing wealth to homes.
You can craft your own using marigold or mango leaves or purchase colourful torans to adorn your doorways.
Spiritual Artifacts
Adorn your home with traditional or contemporary Deepavali-themed art and artifacts.
Hang framed images of deities, artistic wall hangings, or decorative idols that represent the cultural and spiritual significance of the festival.
