Innovate with culture
A traditional Diwali décor starts with the use of bright colors, diyas, lanterns and chandeliers.
Making a swastika rangoli on a beautiful KansaThaali with lit-up diyas and marigold flowers circling it, Barnis (glass jars) decorated with beaded jewelry, flowers, and series lights makes for a beautiful festive sight.
The antique charm with traditional decoration!
An antique beauty, a 100-year-old patara with beautifully painted accentuations creates a resplendent corner!
A beautiful lotus-painted backdrop with a flower rangoli on the floor creates a perfect festive highlight!
Making the outdoors out of the box!
Sprucing up the traditional Jhula with dupattas and bright colored cushions, colorful rug on the floor, adding low ambient light to the sit-out space creates an enamoring aura!
One of the ways to blend culture with décor is by adding antique side tables in your verandah, where card parties can take place with a Kapuri Paan counter on the side.
