Make diyas the focus of attention, the piece de resistance, of your décor this Diwali season. Read on to find out how
The lighting of Diwali deepak signifies many things— the triumph of good over evil, auspicious beginnings, joyous time with loved ones. And diyas have been central amongst it all. For the longest time, during the festival of lights, homes were bathed in the glow of traditional earthen or brass diyas.
But now, there are ample options: Diwali candles, LED diyas, brightly painted and bedazzled ones, fairy lights and many more. Give the traditional, beautiful diya decoration a contemporary touch with these creative and beginner-friendly diya decoration ideas.
Combine the two ubiquitous Diwali essentials for knockout Diwali décor. Use flowers to make concentric arrangements in trays, urulis, etc., and place diyas at the centre and surrounding it to accentuate the pattern and colours.
Enhance rangoli designs' vibrant hues and intricacies by using the diyas as highlights. For a traditional look, opt for motifs such as peacocks, Ganesha, mandala and so on.
Diyas, too, are a great way to introduce colour to your Diwali décor, especially if you like an over-the-top festive aesthetic. Diya painting is a great DIY; you can easily turn it into a family affair. All you need are some plain clay diyas, acrylic paints and some brushes. A quick tip, remember to coat the diyas with a primer before diya painting for vibrant results.
Do you prefer low-key décor or want to make Diwali diyas the hero element in the décor? The way to do this is to get different types of diya lamps and make a stunning design using them. Cylindrical diyas and leaf and flower-shaped ones are just a few options. Outline the diya design you want, for example, om or swastika, and line up the diyas accordingly. Pssst… You can use this as a diya image background for your Diwali messages.
Fairy lights and lanterns have become the norm for balcony décor during Diwali. If you want to go the more traditional route, incorporate diyas in the balcony and other outdoor spaces. Line up the edge of the balcony with elaborate metal hanging diya. Place diya stands or samayi by the doors and the corners. Brass, bronze and silver diyas would work well in this case.
Fill up large containers with water and float diyas and flower petals for a soft glow. These arrangements make for beautiful diya decoration for entrances and centrepieces. For a stunning effect, opt for colourful glass bowls that cast mesmerising shadows.
Tea lights, whether LED or candles produce a softer, ethereal glow. To achieve that, combine them with ornate holders for the wow effect. You can use these at the doors, to line the foyer or windows with diyas, to decorate tables, and so on.
For more crafty yet equally elaborate diyas, ones made of paper are the way to go. All you need is some colourful paper, glue, and scissors. You could make holders with the quilling techniques or ones with detailed cutwork. Once you place the diya in it, it will cast beautiful shadows across the room.
Upcycling and best out of waste are excellent ways to flex your creativity. Here are a few options you could try for diya decoration at home:
Here are a few things to remember as you fill your home with auspicious warmth and the glow of diya decoration at home.
