Budget-friendly home decor ideas for Navratri
1. Fresh green plants
One of the simplest ways to enhance your space is to add some greenery. Whether you are bringing new pots and plants to your balcony or adding them to your indoor spaces, they create a fresh and warm atmosphere. Plants not only make your space more inviting, but by choosing the right plants you can also get the benefits of the pleasing smell and air-purifying qualities of your green companions.
2. Floral rangoli at the entrance
Rangolis are a festive staple. So why not add them to your Navratri decorations? Instead of the usual ones that you make using artificial colours, incorporate flowers like marigolds and roses in your rangoli designs and get creative. Both these blooms and available in a wide variety of hues and will instantly add to the aesthetic value of your space.
3. Floral garlands and torans
Rather than using cheap plastic torans that bring down the face value of your home, this Navratri go and buy some fresh garlands and torans. If you keep spraying them with water every now and then, they are sure to last you the whole 9 days. And once the Navratri season is over, fresh floral garlands and torans can be easily disposed off since they are biodegradable in nature and are unlikely to end up in a landfill.
4. String lights and lanterns
The simplest, fastest and most efficient way to get your house ready for Navratri is by hanging string lights and lanterns. From the smallest corners in your homes to the balconies and even the staircases, each space can be elevated just by a few light treatments. Whether you want to go for the classic gold ones or try something new and go for a colourful theme with multicoloured lights, there is truly no going wrong!
5. Aromatic candles and diyas
Diyas and candles have been a constant in Indian households for generations. No celebration or happy occasion is complete without lighting a diya for good luck. Rather than using ghee or the usual mustard oil for diyas go for an aromatic oil like lavender or jasmine and add a fresh fragrance to your space along with soft light. Similarly, add aromatic candles to your Navratri decoration and watch their sweet smell bring a smile to everyone's face.
