Decor tips to create a traditional Indian theme for your home

Merino Laminates, October 24, 2024

Festivities are around the corner and we bring to you festival decor ideas that you can apply in your house to give it a facelift as you prepare to bring in the bounty of good luck and prosperity that these auspicious days bring with them! Indian motif furniture and finishes have become a huge trend as many homeowners today want to introduce a touch of our traditional designs in their homes, be it a minimalistic design or something more flamboyant. You can introduce these designs in the form of Indian motif wall panels or laminate furniture, as there are many options that you can choose from. Here we list some ideas that will help you make a big difference in your decor game with some simple changes to your existing space:

1. Determine which part of your home you will focus on

When you are planning to redecorate your house, it is ideal to first determine the focus areas that you wish to redo. Create small pockets where you want to focus, be it laminate furniture  or accent walls- choose the areas  that you will use to highlight your festival decor ideas. Also, if you are on a budget or have time constraints, choose to do a small part like cupboard doors, kitchen cabinets, table tops etc. instead of opting for bigger changes that will be more time consuming and expensive.

2. Create interesting combination of colours and patterns

Once you have chosen the part of your home that you want to redecorate, the next step would be to create an interesting combination of colours and patterns. You can create a scheme around the existing colours that you have, or if you have neutral coloured walls, you can build a colour scheme that is completely different from what you had earlier too. From beautiful combinations of beiges with deeper shades of dark blue or purple, to a combination of greys with maroon or magenta- you can mix up colours to create a beautiful space. If your paint is already a neutral colour, you can have patterned upholstery and Indian motif wall panels or Indian motif furniture to create an interesting play of colours, patterns and textures.

3. Choose the right pattern

Merino Laminates brings to you an elegant new range of laminates called the Samprada collection (ADD RELEVANT LINK HERE) that comprises of stunning patterns inspired by our rich Indian heritage. You can choose from elephant motif patterns to geometric Indian designs that are perfect to add the touch of elegance to any space. Even if you are planning to apply festival decor ideas, try to opt for finishes that will look good throughout rather than just the festive season. The pattern should also be chosen considering the size of the space, the natural light coming in, the other existing patterns or textures that they may be present  (like flooring, grill designs etc), size of the focus area that you are working on etc. Based on these factors, you can opt for patterns with smaller designs that look good for smaller spaces like cupboard doors, headboards or something much larger that would look good in a much larger space like wall panels, TV units etc.

4. Accessorise smartly

Accessories can be a game changer and can be used to add more layers of elegance to any space. From beautiful antique door handles to hand painted drawer knobs- there is so much you can do with just accessories to make your space look gorgeous! These also work really well with Indian inspired patterns in laminates and patterned upholstery too.

Lights also play a very important role in every space be it a home, office, restaurant or even a classroom. Once you have created Indian motif wall panels or customised Indian motif furniture, the next step would be to pair it with the right lights. You can add wall mounted Indian style lights and ceiling mounted flushes to create a warm and welcoming glow in your space. From lights inspired by lanterns to pendant lights made of painted glass- you can find an array of lights that pair beautifully with Indian inspired laminates or patterns.

We hope that these simple festival decor ideas give you more clarity on how you can give your home a much needed makeover before the onset of the festivals! Whether you are planning to host a party for your friends and extended family, or you plan to have a simple celebration with your dear ones, a beautiful space is a must, and these tips will  help you create just that well within your budget.
