The festive season is right around the corner. With a string of festivals lined up, make the last few days of the year memorable by giving a contemporary makeover to your house.

11 Simple Yet Effective Festive Home Makeover Tips

1. Lighting

The festive season can only be complete with proper lighting. If you opt for an elegant, chic look you can go for a simple white fabric buffet lamp. Simply place it on your bedside table or right next to your reading chair. However, in order to bring out that festive spirit, your home needs to be decked out with LED strips and strings. There are myriad ways in which you can use LED lights to decorate your home. Whether you choose to entangle LED strings around your window grills or place LED strips under your bed or cabinets, the options are endless.

2. Decluttering

Over the years, many studies have suggested that a clean and organised space reduces stress and anxiety, increases concentration, and promotes restful sleep. When giving your home a makeover for the festive season, there is nothing as important as decluttering. To give your home a fresh and new look, start by inspecting every room for items you do not like and do not use. It's time to let go of all these items!

3. Furniture 

If you’ve been yearning to revamp your furniture, there is no better time than the festive season. 

The arrival of the festive season calls for a change in your old furniture, and you can easily do so while sticking to a budget, thanks to the festive sale period. To make your interiors appear more spacious, you should strategically arrange your furniture to eliminate any cramped look. In this pursuit, a neutral colour scheme and woven upholstery fabrics work wonders. Additionally, in order to make the space look less cluttered, you can switch out several smaller pieces of furniture for simple, larger ones.

4. Accessories 

Accessories play a vital role in completely transforming the look of your home. In tune with the festive season, you can go for gold accents, vibrant wreaths, and wall hangings to infuse your space with the spirit of the festive season. To add a unique and personal touch to your home, you can place miniature figurines on your coffee table, or dining table or line them up on your wall rack. You can hang handcrafted floral wreaths on your front door to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your guests. You can also adorn dull corners with colourful wall hangings.

5. Wall Decor

Wall decor can truly transform the look and feel of any room. If you want a bold statement piece for your home, a large-scale art piece should suffice. Alternatively, you can create a gallery wall by lining a few small figurines on a wall rack. Another option to add a touch of festivity to your walls is to create an accent wall by painting it with a rich and bold color. You can also use wallpaper with a unique pattern or those featuring silver and gold accents to infuse your space with a festive look. These options can add depth and personality to your space and elevate your home decor to the next level.

 

 

6. Decor Items 

Statement decor items can be a game-changer when it comes to adding character to your space. Sculptures, vases, photo frames, or unique pieces of furniture can be incorporated to create a focal point in any room. The addition of statement pieces can take your home decor to the next level, and make your space truly stand out. 

7. Floral Decoration 

Fresh flowers and plants are a great way to add freshness to any room in the house. There are many unique ways to incorporate plants and flowers into your home decor. To create an eye-catching feature, you can use hanging vases that can be suspended from the ceiling or wall-mounted. Wall planters are also a great option when it comes to transforming a dull wall into a lively space.

8. Traditional Cushion Covers & Curtains 

To create the ultimate warm festive vibe in your home, you may want to switch your regular cushion covers and curtains for more festive options that incorporate traditional prints and patterns. You can opt for cushion covers with intricate embroidery or hand-painted designs to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your decor. 

9. Scented Candles 

Candles have been a part of long-lasting traditions across cultures. Candles have been a part of prayers, meditation, and sacred rituals since ancient times. They have the power to transform ordinary spaces into havens of tranquility. To spruce up your home for the festive season, invest in fragrant votive or pillar candles. Pillar candles go incredibly well with contemporary and modern decor. The simplicity of the candles harmonizes effortlessly with the clean lines and minimalist design of contemporary decor. 

 10. Urli Hangings

Urli hangings are a great traditional element. Urli are typically used as puja thalis, but you can repurpose them and turn them into stunning decor pieces. You can hang them on your walls or place them on your coffee table, dining table, or mantel.

11. Dried Flowers 

Dried flowers are a great option for those who want long-lasting decor. Incorporate them in unique ways such as hanging them on your walls or using them as a centrepiece. You can place your favourite dried flowers in a large crystal bowl and place the arrangement on your coffee table or dining table as a stunning centerpiece.
