Diwali is all about light, warmth and style. This year, the decor trends are striking a balance between luxe glam and earthy authenticity. Think rich textures, artisan details, colours that glow, and sustainable touches. Here’s how to get the vibe right — plus curated picks to make it happen.
Jewel Tones & Textured Fabrics
Move over pastels, this festive season is all about deep jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red, offset with accents of gold and ivory. Dress up your spaces with rich fabrics — brocade cushions, velvet runners, or silk drapes — that add both opulence and warmth. Mirror work, tassels, and embroidered textures instantly make a room celebration-ready.
The Light Edit
Diwali without statement lighting is simply incomplete. Layer your illumination — from pendant lamps and fairy lights to traditional diyas and scented candles. The trick is to mix forms: metallic lanterns on tables, floating candles in urli bowls, and soft fairy lights draped along walls or windows for that golden, romantic glow.
Art, Accents & Wall Drama
Walls are getting bolder this Diwali. Think handcrafted tapestries, abstract prints in metallic hues, or framed artworks inspired by traditional Indian forms like Madhubani or Warli. Create a vibrant gallery wall mixing vintage frames and contemporary art — perfect for festive hosting and Instagram moments alike.
Go Local, Go Sustainable
Eco-chic is the new luxe. Choose pieces made from clay, terracotta, bamboo, or jute over plastic décor. Upcycle old sarees or dupattas into table runners and cushion covers. Support Indian artisans through handcrafted diyas, macramé hangings, or woven baskets that tell a story of craft and conscience.
Luxe Textiles & Soft Layers
Transform your home through textiles — it’s the easiest way to change the mood. Introduce statement rugs, vibrant throws, or sofa covers in ethnic prints. Mix textures like velvet and silk with cotton for comfort and contrast. Let your palette flow through the home for a cohesive, styled-by-a-designer look.
Modern Tradition
Mix old-world charm with new-age chic. Pair brass showpieces with glass candle stands, or traditional torans with sleek LED signage. Add a bowl of marigolds next to a neon “Shubh Diwali” sign — this year, maximalism meets modern minimalism.
How to Style!
Layer your light — mix overhead fixtures, candles, and fairy lights for multidimensional glow.
Play with textures — juxtapose soft silks with metallic finishes and organic materials for visual depth.
Let fragrance lead — from jasmine to sandalwood, scent defines the mood, so add diffusers or incense.
Curate, don’t clutter — pick one statement element per space and let it shine.
This Diwali, your home should feel like a celebration of everything you love — craftsmanship, comfort, and contemporary style. Because when design meets devotion, the glow is truly timeless.
