2. Jazz up the walls

There are many ways to give an uplift to the walls of your home and specifically your living room. Here are some ideas you can apply for Durga Puja 2021:

Paint the walls of your home. If your walls need a fresh paint or touch up, do it before Durga Puja. Welcome goddess Durga is a home that smells fresh and looks fresh, too.
Adorn your walls with artwork - think paintings, photographs, wall hangings, etc. Since it’s Durga Puja, you can decorate your walls with fresh flower garlands.
Bring in functional wall pieces such as a wall lamp, wall candle stand, a wall rack to display small figurines, etc.

3. Beautify the floor with rangoli

Whether it’s Durga puja or Diwali or Navratri, rangolis never go out of trend. Besides, they can help bring in bright colors in homes that otherwise wear neutral shades. And you can get creative with your rangolis. Make them at the entrance door as well as other places such as next to the sofa or in the middle of your living room.

Make rangolis with color or flowers. Go absolutely creative when you choose a design - birds, floral, animals, or abstract - the sky's the limit for your inspiration. Whatever you do, keep it colorful and bright. Don’t forget to add the Durga Puja colors - red, yellow, orange, among other vibrant colors.

4. Pepper your living room with shimmer

It’s the festive season and one of the easiest ways to give your living room a festive feel is to add shimmer. Think shimmery curtains, shiny cushion covers, a little bit of golden, and some bit of silver.

Pull out your festive decor pieces such as vases and showpieces that add a decorative and shiny touch. Bind the shimmer look together by spacing out shiny things evenly in the living room. You can even try shimmery lights.

5. Go with a traditional look and feel

Durga Puja is a traditional festival and you can set the festive tone starting from your living room. If your home has a contemporary vibe to it, give it a traditional twist. How do you do that? There are many simple ways:

Change your cushion covers to more traditional covers, for example covers with mirror work, embroidery, sequins, etc.
Punctuate your living room with garlands, flowers, and traditional accessories such as dupattas over curtains, traditional colorful throws on the sofa, dhoop and incense on the bookshelf, and diyas lit in safe spots in the living room. Hang traditional toranas on the doors.
