As such, whether you prefer traditional décor or something a bit more extravagant, we’ve got you covered with numerous ideas. While some of us love the familiarity of using the same decorations year after year, others like to mix it up a bit and decorate with a fresh palette every season.

Furniture and furnishings

You can quickly achieve a different look without spending much, just by rearranging the furniture or adding a little colour to your home. All you need to do is fall back on your linen wardrobe, bright bed sheets, contrasting cushion covers, and colourful tablecloths to make your place look bright and beautiful.

Bring in some freshness

With a few natural elements in your home, you can never go out of style. And there is nothing more natural that plants, that you can hang or place all around your home for a touch of freshness. You can also add fresh flowers to give your home a festive touch; a big urn of mogra and rose petals will swoon the senses.

Go bold with gold

Bring on the shimmer of your brass elements; polish them nicely so they beam and gleam against a bolder colour palette. This season, you should experiment with bolder colours like deep reds, burnt oranges, ambers, and sunny mustards. Pair these up with cushions in woven textiles and traditional motifs.

From classy traditional designs to quirky contemporary ones, you have enough options to explore and tweak them as per your taste and needs. Sparkling earthen lamps, candles, and petite lights are an integral part of home décor. Fairy lights can be used in the living room or can be placed along the window frame. Place fragrances and candle diffusers at various places in all rooms. If you have an unused large copper or ceramic bowl, it is time to put it to use, by giving it a makeover with petals and floating candles.
