Flowers are symbols of love and purity; making DIY garlands with your favourite flowers and decorating your house with them during the Navratri season will exude a festive and cheerful spirit.

Draping colourful fabrics around the curtains, railings, and walls of your house would give it an elegant, luxurious and festive look.

Making a cosy little space with a relaxed ambience using floor seating with comfy cushions and patterned rugs would help create a fun informal sitting area, increasing the fun festive spirit.

Scented Candles

Adding candles to your home would give it a sparky, illuminating vibe with a beautiful warm ambience and a pleasing scent, creating an inviting atmosphere.
