1. Traditional Floral Rangoli
A floral rangoli at the entrance is a beautiful and symbolic way to welcome guests. Using flower petals from marigolds, roses, and chrysanthemums, create intricate patterns in vibrant colors. The fragrant petals, combined with traditional patterns, create a stunning welcome at the entrance. Add small tea lights or diyas around the rangoli to illuminate the arrangement for an extra festive glow.
2. Flower Garlands (Torans) for Doorways
Doorways and arches adorned with flower garlands, or torans, are a staple of Deepavali decorations. Marigold and jasmine garlands bring color and fragrance to the home, symbolizing purity and happiness. String together fresh flowers with green mango leaves to create a garland that not only looks beautiful but also brings positive energy into the home.
3. Floating Flower Bowls
Floating flowers in large bowls of water make elegant centerpieces. Use wide bowls or urulis, fill them with water, and float rose petals, orchids, or even marigold petals on the surface. Add floating candles for a warm, calming glow in the evening. These arrangements work beautifully as centerpieces on dining tables, coffee tables, or entryways.
4. Flower-Filled Diyas
Diyas are an integral part of Deepavali, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Instead of placing plain diyas, surround them with small flowers or rose petals to enhance their beauty. You can also use diyas in clusters with flower petals in between to add an extra festive touch to any room.
5. Floral Wall Hangings
Floral wall hangings add a colorful and festive touch to your décor. Use marigolds, roses, and green leaves to create hanging garlands or floral panels to decorate walls. Hang them in the living room, near windows, or even in hallways to spread the festive spirit throughout your home.
6. Flower-Adorned Stairs and Railings
Decorate stair railings and banisters with flower garlands, which create a charming look and connect different parts of your home in a unified festive theme. Drape marigold garlands along the stair railings and weave in small diyas or LED lights to enhance the beauty of the flowers at night.
7. Floral Centerpieces for Tables

8. Floral Decor for Pooja Room
