Hello everyone—this Diwali, I finally got some time to add a few festive touches and give my living room a simple, cozy, and elegant makeover. In this video, I’m sharing how I decorated using mostly last year’s decor, because I truly believe we don’t always need new things to make our home look festive. A little rearranging, a few thoughtful pieces, and lots of lights can make such a big difference—without making the space feel cluttered. I did make a few small upgrades to suit my current setup. Since we recently bought a new light, neutral sofa (perfect for shooting in natural light), I needed something practical for daily life with kids around—so I used a quilted velvet sofa cover with tassels in a green-and-white wave design. I paired it with pure cotton cushion covers for a soft, balanced look. For the floor, I added a machine-washable, anti-skid polyester rug to bring warmth and tie the theme together. I also dressed up the entrance with a minimal toran (white gajra with pink lotus), and finished the vibe with crystal candle holders, my reused candle stands, brass diyas, and candles placed near the dining table corners and windows for that peaceful festive glow.
