Deepavali, colloquially called as Diwali, is a much-awaited festival in every Indian household. Diwali we say is the triumph of good over evil and of right over wrong. Traditionally, this festival widely celebrated in India across communities is a time of family bonding, conversations and thinking beyond oneself. Lamps are lit, sweets made, shared and savoured, gifts exchanged, good times relished and relationships nurtured. We can celebrate Diwali in a completely exciting and special way making use of old junks by recycling them to make decoration accessories to adorn homes.
Here are a few tips to make your Diwali Special this year, with some brand new Diwali home Decoration DIY ideas:
⦁ Fresh flowers can give your house a graceful look while also adding fragrance. Assorted flowers like jasmine and rose can be used for decorating by placing them in a bowl filled with water.
⦁ Flowered rangoli made with a combination of flowers, petals, leaves and diyas is a smart way to capture the attention of your guests.
⦁ Volatile organic compounds or VOCs are harmful emissions from paints that could lead to adverse long- and short-term health effects. If you are planning to get your house repainted this Diwali, choose low-VOC, zero-VOC or natural wall paints only.
⦁ Old transparent bottles at home can be used for making lamps or even chandelier at your home.
⦁ Insert tiny colourful lights into the transparent bottles, place them on the top in the way you want them and turn them on, there will be a starry sky of your own inside your home. You can also paint the bottles using glass paints, if you don’t have colourful lights.
⦁ Apart from adorning your home with hundreds of earthen lamps, you can also make use of your dupattas to bring a little something extra to your decorations.
⦁ Transform your bedroom into a royal suite or replace those drab curtains with bright dupattas! Just remember to have a source of lights behind them to bring out their texture and glow.
⦁ If you plan to bring in some new furniture, home decor or utility pieces, it’s a great time to buy bamboo or rattan furniture, wood- or fabric-based lighting fixtures, terracotta or clay vases and pots, jute doormats and so on.
