Holi, the festival of colours, is a joyous celebration that explodes with life and vibrancy. It’s a time to let loose, have fun, and transform your surroundings to reflect the festive spirit. But how do you bring the colours of Holi into your home decor?

Holi Home Decor Ideas: Here are 8 creative ideas and decor items to get you started

Rangoli: Embellish your entryway or living room floor with a beautiful Rangoli design. Traditionally made with coloured powders or flower petals, Rangolis can be as simple or intricate as you like. Use stencils for guidance, or unleash your creativity with freehand designs.

Colourful Curtains and Throws: Swap your usual curtains and throws for vibrant options in hues like reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens. A good pick is the colourful hand woven and printed curtains from Rihaa. This instant splash of colour instantly injects the festive spirit into your space.

Fresh Flowers: There is something incredibly intimate and bright about flowers. They are a beautiful and fragrant way to celebrate Holi. Fill vases with vibrant blooms like marigolds, lilies, or tulips, or create flower garlands to drape around doorways or furniture.

Colourful Tabletop: If you are planning on entertaining people on Holi, don’t forget your dining table! Set the scene for a festive meal with a colourful tablecloth, vibrant napkins, and tableware in playful shades. A good pick is the Dharini tray, which gives a modern spin on traditional cane/ rattan trays. Use these at various spots in your homes, or put together festive hampers or colours for your loved ones.

Painted Clay Pots or Planters: Terracotta pots are a blank canvas waiting to be transformed. Paint them in bright colours or quirky patterns, and use them as planters for colourful blooms or simply as decorative accents. You can also opt for colourful planters that add a splash of colour to the space with greenery, such as this Amelia planter by Mona B, which has a durrie look and is a timeless addition to your space.

Fairy Lights: Fairy lights, especially in warm white or multicoloured options, add a magical touch to your decor. They are also perfect for a house party in the evenings! String them along walls, doorways, or even drape them over furniture. Combine them with fabric swags in vibrant colours for an extra pop.

Holi Themed Throw Pillows: Liven up your sofas and chairs with colourful throw pillows featuring Holi motifs, playful patterns, or even inspirational quotes about the festival.

Add A Photo Booth: If you’re planning on hosting a holi party, there is nothing better than creating an interactive photo booth with a colourful backdrop like curtains, water guns and balloons. You can also turn the day into a themed event, and create photo corners in your home for your guests to have fun.
