Eco-friendly Diwali decor ideas
- Table lamp and Fresh Chandelier: Choose table lamps with bases made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo or recycled glass. Select chandeliers made from reclaimed wood or metal. Look for designs that incorporate natural elements, such as dried flowers or branches, for a unique touch. Select energy-efficient LED bulbs to light the chandelier, which will reduce energy consumption while giving off a warm glow
- Choose Non-Toxic Paints: Opt for low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) or natural paints made from plant-based ingredients. Brands offering these options often have beautiful, earthy tones.
- Sustainable Fabric and Upcycled Items: Pick curtains made from organic cotton, hemp, or linen. These materials are breathable, durable, and eco-friendly. Look for curtains made from recycled materials or upcycled textiles to minimize waste. Fabric-like wine/baby blue emerald green rich Fabrucs velvet n Chinele.
- Use Natural Flower for decor: Create vibrant garlands using marigolds, jasmine, or roses. Make door hanging (torans) using flowers and leave them around doorways, windows, or as a backdrop. This traditional decor element welcomes guests with beauty and fragrance. These not only enhance aesthetics but also purify the air.
- Handmade Crafts Decor: Engage in DIY projects with family, like making paper garlands or decorations from natural materials
Focus on a few impactful pieces rather than cluttering your space. A single beautiful centrepiece or a well-lit corner can be more effective. Make sure to not fill your home with everything but choose your vibe and opt for minimal to make your home look aesthetic.
