The first look, the exterior of the house sets the foremost mood of the celebrations and festivity. Brighten up the façade with lights; bring tee-lights to use and Diyas with glitters and sequence. Even windows can be lightened up with paper and glass lanterns. Just as they say, ‘First Impression is the last impression.’

2. A Little Lavish….

The main entrance can be eloquently decorated with flowers and colours. Addition of an extra table furnished with Flower vase and pretty flower arrangements can give a sumptuous look! Why not let the compliments and blessing enter through a reincarnation of Heaven.

There can never be a life without two perspectives. Maybe that signifies why God gave us two eyes! Sometimes, the treasure is right in front of us, but it remains hidden. If you aren’t satisfied with the placement of your furniture, try making the most utilized room, like the main entrance and entertainment place— the living room complete makeover by maybe shifting the position of couches and chairs to a position better to get together, having a cup of coffee together. Lifes’ an experiment, right! 

4. Flashing and livening up the Room Colors, Cushions

Shining bright colours can be used to bring the festive mood. The easiest way is by changing the drapes. Select the colour theme that complements the furniture.
