How to Decorate House for Navratri?

Hey Pal,

Every home decorates for the Navratri celebration with vibrant and colourful Navratri decoration ideas at home. The Navratri holiday should be decorated in a highly traditional manner. While different religions in India celebrate it in diverse ways, the fundamentals remain the same.

How to decorate house for Navratri?

• Declutter the Messy Area:

You should start by taking care of the holiday cleanings. Additionally, it's crucial to ensure that the area is clutter-free, especially the Pooja room, once you've created the desired backdrop in each of your rooms. Just keep it natural and uncomplicated!

• Decorate Your Home with Wreaths, Garlands, and Flowers:

Wreaths constructed of marigold flowers (also known as "Genda ka fool") and other autumnal flowers placed around entrance doors and windows can help you welcome your Navratri holiday this season. This marks the start of "sharad navratra." Additionally, the entire house would be mesmerised by the aroma of these flowers, especially marigolds!

• Ethnic Pot:

As part of your Navratri decor, you can use earthen pots to decorate your house (Puja room). The home is adorned with "Garbo" in accordance with Gujarati custom. It is an earthen pot with a diya burning within that has been exquisitely embellished with little mirrors, sparkling lace, and flowers.

• Inside Colours:

Be sure your home is decorated for the Navratri festival. Indians adore colour, so why not showcase this affection in the interior design of your home. You can choose authentic Indian colours like earthy green, reds, yellows, and orange to paint your house. A wall makeover is another option, but only if your budget permits. The best and easiest solution is to swap out the furniture and decorative accents.

The most popular interior design items in homes are cushions and pillows. So this Navratri, add some cushions with ethnic embroidery to your seating area to liven it up. The market offers every type of cushion, from mirror work to vibrant embroidery.

• Alpana or a Rangoli:

Tradition calls for making rangolis or alpana. For all Hindu festivals, rangolis are essential. Inside the home and outside in the portico, intricate and beautiful rangolis are created. Flowers and leaves can also be used to create rangolis. The market also offers the brand-new rangolis that are already adhered to, such as Kundan Rangoli.

• Potpourri:

You can put potpourri in a jar, ornamental blow, or glass tray. To perfume a space, dried flowers and spices are combined and placed in a bowl. It not only calms visitors' eyes, but it also releases a lovely, earthy smell to usher in these pure Pooja days!

• Candles, Tealights, and Diyas:

Without Diyas, you cannot imagine the Navratri decoration ideas for home. Also, without diyas Indian celebrations would nearly be lacking. To liven up your Pooja activities, place decorative Diyas in the living room and the Pooja room. The soothing light falls on the deity from the earthy diyas & unique tea lights give a beautiful look to your room. By painting them and adding tiny craft wonders, you may add a personal touch to the terra-cotta diyas. 

Mason jars, ornamental lamps, and string lights can provide a festival-like flair. Strings of LED and fairy lights can also be used to illuminate the area around the deity. They enhance the altar's appearance while also being visually stunning. Brass lanterns and tealights can add a touch of ethnicity.

• Antiques and Decorative Figurines:

If you are a true decor enthusiast, you can find many antiques and figurines of many Gods in diverse settings in the neighbourhood shops. Believe me, if you combined these decorative items with dolls for ornamentation, your pooja décor would steal the show!

• Bells and Hangings for Decor:

To beautify your home or divide rooms, you may also get some antique bells and room dividers. You may, for instance, hang one of these tiny elephant hangings outside your pooja unit or room to serve as a room divider.

• Toran:

It is also thought to be lucky to hang a "Toran" in your pooja room and at the front door when celebrating Navratri. The market is filled with a wide variety of torans that have been traditionally embellished with embroidered and mirror work.

I would like to conclude here about the Navratri decoration ideas at home. I hope this helps:)
