They say Bura na maano, Holi hai – par bura toh lagega hi when Holi is just around the corner and you’re still not able to plan your color-soaked Holi party. Every festival is about fun, excitement, savouries, and decor, and your home should reflect that too. So, if you’re scratching your head wondering, “How do I prep my home into a lively, Holi-ready space?” – we are here to resolve that for you. Read on for funky, stylish, and practical Holi home decoration ideas that will make your space as rangbiranga as a gulaal-cloud in the sky.
1. Home Entrance Holi Decoration Ideas
You tell me, can Holi hold its true spirit without colors? – impossible. So, why should your entrance be left behind on the occasion of the festival of colors? Your entrance is the USP of your home. It’s the first thing your guests notice. Start here and create a defining moment for the party.
♦ Hanging torans have always been the signature decor style for any Indian festival. Then again, traditions and styles evolve with time. Torans or strings can be used to craft totems at the entrance, giving it a more organised party look.
♦ Greet guests with a hand-painted sign that says “Bura Na Mano, Holi Hai!”
♦ Do I really need to say anything about Rangoli? It holds the same importance as gujiya in Holi – always open to possibilities of creativity.
♦ You can add a fun activity of painting the pots and later use them for decoration at the door. Use acrylic paint, or else start with terracotta designs on the base, and then color them. This will enhance their look and make them stand out.
2. Living Room Decoration
What have you thought about your living room? Do you have anything on your mind? Well, I assume you’re still busy contemplating. It’s ok. We, together, will figure it out for the entrance, so it will take the same amount of cohesive effort to do it for the living room. Let’s have a look:
♦ Water rangoli – Floating flowers and diyas in large urlis create an elegant look. It’s the perfect way to welcome guests into a festive home. You can place it on the centre table, encircled by a halo of color containers.
♦ Pom-Pom Supremacy – You have every right to make your living room as funky as possible for the day of celebration. And pom-poms do justice to that look – be it pom-pom strings over curtains, directly over walls, or hangings crafted with pom-poms. Make it a priority to use the vibrant colors here.
♦ Vibrant Fabrics – Use bright rugs, curtains, funky patchwork cushions, and matching table runners to add it to your decor. Remember to align the colors among each other. It’d be a bummer if, in the name of bright and vibrant, you end up serving khichdi to your guests.
♦ Pinterest: The Guide Baba – Always seek overflowing inspirations from the guide. By the way, indoor plants enrich the overall decor while maintaining freshness and setting the mood.
3. Dining Area Holi Decoration Ideas
Khana hai, toh pehle sajana hai. Yes, that’s right. I mean, you’ll need to put in a little extra effort to present your dishes before your guests. Let’s see what can be done:
♦ Feel free to arrange flowers around the table, either on vases, or on the table directly.
♦ Use fancy crockery to bring modern flavour, or if you’re leaning towards an ethnic style, pick the serveware accordingly. To create an earthy, rustic theme, go for clay or wooden serveware.
♦ Bhaang and Gujiya are the heart and soul of Holi. Present sweets in varieties other than the usual or regular ones. Serve them separately, and away from the colors.
♦ You can even, for a fun touch, put tags on special dishes.
♦ Quirky placemats, napkins and holders will add colors to the table.
While we’re at it, what stalls are you planning to set up – gujiya, dahi bhalla, pani puri, thandai, bhaang, chaat…..?
4. Balcony Decoration
The balcony is the only space in our home which accounts for a pause between worlds. It’s one of the perfect spots for Holi celebrations. You can have a cheerful get together here, where you can unwind after the party – especially for those who want to enjoy without the full-on street chaos. Spruce it up with:
♦ Low seating with floor cushions – Make it comfortable for guests to lounge and sip some thandai.
♦ String lights & flower garlands – Because nothing says festive like a glowing, flora-filled space.
♦ Paper lanterns & vibrant drapes – Hang them up for a party-ready atmosphere.
♦ Plant Pots – Greenery never gets out of style, in fact it is much needed. Paint them and hang them, or leave them raw to create a rustic look.
5. Outdoor Area Holi Decoration Ideas
Mind blowing! It’s a great advantage if you have a garden or even a patio outside. You have plenty of possibilities and hence, plenty of effort to put in.
♦ Food Stalls – You know how! But one thing to make sure is using organic colors, as they are safer than synthetic ones.
♦ Activity Corner – Throwing colors at each other is a ritualistic fun, but why not add to that fun by installing a separate fun activity spot. Try tug of war, singing karaoke, or anything!
♦ Dance Floor – Open dance floor is a crazy idea to amp up your and your guests’ fun and energy.
♦ Photobooth – Needless to mention – I know!
♦ Sitting Corner – Set up canopies-like seating for your guests to give them shade and a comfortable spot to relax.
