Overview
- Begin with a thorough clean-up and furniture rearrange to open floor space, a cost-free change that makes every added decoration stand out.
- Use walls, ceilings and narrow shelves for hanging garlands or paper flowers so you preserve limited floor space while adding festive height.
- Place mirrors behind diyas or candles to reflect light and create a brighter, more spacious feel without extra fixtures.
- Choose one bold statement piece and favour multi-purpose items like decorative trays or storage baskets to keep the room tidy and impactful.
- For living rooms specifically, swap cushion covers, hang paper lanterns away from open flames, style a simple centre-table tray and add floor seating to create a warm, guest-ready space while sourcing items cheaply from local markets.
