Blend tradition with modern styleBlending traditional charm with modern design gives your home a festive look that never goes out of style. Pair handloom runners, clay diyas, and copper bowls with sleek, contemporary elements. A wooden console against a mirror wall with a vase of marigolds adds an elegant touch.Home décor expert Abhinav suggests, “There are simple ways to bring in that festive glow without burning a hole in your pocket. Start by taking out timeless pieces like brass urlis, tumblers, or heirloom artefacts and repurpose them as planters, vases, or floral bowls.”

Add a fragrant touchFragrance is key to setting the festive tone. Use scented candles, attar diffusers, or flowers like jasmine and tuberose to fill your home with warmth. “Pair the freshness of flowers with greens — an early trip to your local flower mandi will get you the best Rajnigandhas, lotuses, chrysanthemums, and marigolds,” says Abhinav. “Layer table lamps, fairy lights, and candles to create an inviting glow.”Style the wealth cornerDedicate a serene corner to Goddess Lakshmi with brass idols, diyas, incense, and fresh blooms. Add crystals, coins, or lotus motifs to symbolise prosperity and peace.Play with metallic accentsGold and silver tones capture the Dhanteras spirit. Use metallic vases, candle stands, or cushions embroidered with gold thread. “Nothing beats the combination of gold and red,” says Abhinav, adding, “It works beautifully for festive tablescapes or card parties.”
