Candles and diyas are the most versatile and effective decoration items. These sparkling elements can light up every corner of your home and beautify it.

4. Go with Organic Rangoli

Crafting rangolis on the doorstep is an ancient tradition followed in many different cultures across India. Some easy and biodegradable elements you can incorporate into your gorgeous rangoli include flower petals, coloured rice and pulses and non-toxic rangoli colours made from natural ingredients like turmeric and beetroot.

5. Go for Flower Decorations

Flower decoration is another classic way to adorn your home in a myriad of shades. You can use seasonal flowers for Durga Puja flower decoration and ensure that your home and pooja room look and smell heavenly. Flowers are also super eco-friendly and affordable options for decorating your space when you’re on a budget.

• Flower garlands: Crafting lovely upcycled flower garlands is a simple way to add colour and joy to your home during Durga puja celebrations without harming the environment.
• Floral torans: You can find torans made out of seasonal flowers like marigold to adorn your doors and create a more inviting vibe for the Durga puja celebration.

6. Add Potted Plants in your Decor

Another eco-conscious choice for Durga Puja decoration is potted plants because adding greenery is the easiest way to spruce up your interiors. Consider opting for ceramic pots and planters that add more flair to your home decor and festivities.

7. Up your Aesthetic Game with Fabric Decoration

Last but not least, fabric decoration is another innovative element for Durga Puja decoration which is extremely sustainable and earth-friendly. You can revamp your home with colourful dupattas sewn together for wall decorations and even use them to decorate your centre tables or opt for fabric torans mentioned above.

Choose a colour palette that suits the aesthetics of your abode and use it to brighten up your entrances and windows too.
