Ancient practice of getting your homes festive ready
For centuries, preparing homes for festivals has been more than just a ritual—it has been a way of invoking joy, prosperity, and togetherness. From adorning walls with fresh coats of vibrant colors to decorating spaces with handcrafted fabrics, diyas, flowers, and intricate motifs, every element carried a symbolic meaning tied to cultural traditions. These practices were believed to invite positive energy, celebrate abundance, and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both family and guests. Even today, this ancient tradition of infusing homes with color, light, and festive decor continues to be an integral part of celebrations, blending age-old charm with modern styles.
How to pick the colours for your homes this festive season
Whether you’re planning to repaint your walls or refresh your home with new curtains, choosing the right colors is key!
To truly master festive home decor, it’s important to understand how the colors of your walls, furniture, lighting, decor pieces, and, of course, curtains all work together. Here’s a quick guide to help you transform your house and make it festive ready.
1. Creating a warm interior setup
Designing a warm festive interior can begin with walls in soothing tones of beige, yellow,or orange, paired with contrasting furnishings, glowing diyas, fresh marigolds, and wooden or metal décor accents. Soft lighting adds to the cozy charm, while a small festive mirror can beautifully reflect the warmth and vibrancy of your home.
Here’s a simple DIY idea to try: repurpose an old mirror—perhaps one from your grandmother’s dressing set—and mount it onto a panel made from recycled cardboard, like old delivery boxes. Paint in warm hues and embellish it in your own style, or take it a step further by incorporating traditional mural art such as Lippan Kaam, where mud, clay, and small mirror pieces come together to form intricate, festive designs.
2. Creating a cool interior setup-
Decorating your home for the festive season in India can also take on a refreshing cool-toned palette. Begin with walls in calming shades of soft blue, misty grey, or pastel teal, balanced with contrasting furnishings in silver, white, and deep indigo. Replace the usual marigolds with fragrant white lilies or tuberoses, and let glass, ceramic, or metallic accents add a serene sparkle. Subtle fairy lights or frosted lanterns create a gentle glow, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.
For a festive DIY touch, turn old glass jars into lanterns. Coat the inside with a thin layer of fevicol-water mix, add glitter or tissue cutouts in motifs like diyas or stars, and place a tealight inside. Group a few together on a table or balcony, and finish with a silver or gold
3. Creating a cool interior setup-
Designing a festive interior in a neutral palette can begin with walls in soft shades of ivory, beige, or warm greys, paired with natural fabrics and minimal décor accents in wood, stone, or cane. Instead of bright florals, choose white blooms like jasmine or chrysanthemums for a subtle elegance. Soft ambient lighting, candles, or diyas in matte holders will create a gentle glow, while mirrors and glass pieces can add a hint of sparkle without overpowering the calm.
For a festive DIY touch, turn old fabrics into beautiful coasters. Cut the fabric into neat squares or circles (around 4x4 inches). For sturdiness, layer two fabric pieces together with a thin cardboard in between, then stitch or glue around the edges. To give them a festive twist, paint the edges with metallic gold or silver fabric paint, or add small hand-painted motifs like dots, paisleys, or geometric patterns. Finish by giving them a quick iron, and your sustainable, handmade coasters are ready!
Trending festive colours for the season
This season’s festive palette beautifully balances tradition with contemporary flair. Vibrant jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and royal purple bring richness and grandeur to celebrations, while warm sunset-inspired hues such as vermilion, saffron, and burnt orange add a touch of warmth and vibrancy. For softer, daytime gatherings, delicate pastels like lavender, blush pink, and mint create a refreshing, light-hearted mood. At the same time, muted metallics—antique gold, bronze, and liquid silver—introduce a timeless elegance. Completing the palette, rich earthy neutrals like terracotta, beige, and taupe offer a grounding sophistication, making them perfect for creating a refined festive ambiance.
