Elegant Janmashtami Decorations: Tips & Ideas

A more budget-friendly option might be to give a makeover to the ones you already have. You can hand paint them or spray paint them. Attach flowers, beads and other decorative items for extravagant Janmashtami decoration at home.

5.    Decorate the Palna/Jhula for Your Bal Krishna

The god's idol as bal or baby Krishna, is often seated in a jhula or a swing. It is lined with plush clothes such as satin, silk and velvet to make it more comfortable for him. You also have two tiny bolster cushions along the side. When it comes to the actual jhulas, you can find one in many designs and materials. The options are endless, from intricately carved wooden ones to bejewelled metal ones.

Decorating the jhula is another fun DIY that everyone in the home can participate in. Here are some Janmashtami jhula decoration ideas at home: deck it up with fancy laces, beads and sequins, LED lights and much more. Match it to your overall theme for a cohesive look.

6.    Decoration ideas for Janmashtami at home using peacock feathers

The peacock feather is a motif distinctly associated with Lord Krishna. All of his imagery involves a small feather attached to his mukat or crown. But there are other ways you can incorporate it into your Janmashtami decoration in the home.

• Use it to put the finishing touches to your janmashtami jhula decoration ideas at home
• Get a bunch of feathers and place them in vases on either side of the set-up
• Create a 3D collage using peacock feathers and use it as a backdrop to the idol
• For minimalistwall décor, simply opt for decals or paint it on.
• Use textiles with peacock feather motifs around the house to extend Janmashtami decoration in the home

10.    Accentuate the decoration for Janmashtami at home with lighting

Use these wall lighting ideas to add an ethereal glow to your Janmashtami decorations:

• Keep it traditional with earthen diyas and ornate metal oil lamps.
• Pendant lights, hanging lanterns and chandeliers are great options for overhead lighting. Use patterned lampshades so that the light will cast interesting shadows all over the room.
• LED string lights are the safest but also quite an enchanting option to illuminate your Janmashtami decoration in the home.
• Use them as a backdrop or as accents to flower decorations
• Give the idol an otherworldly radiance with back lights or spotlights.
