Home décor is a very personal aspect to each individual based on their tastes and preferences. Some may want to have the chic factor to their home and thus they would curate small or medium sized décor pieces or different elements which would add value to the basic aesthetic of their home. While some would prefer going extravagant and vibrant when it comes to colour schemes and may want to have larger installation pieces as décor to their home. In many cases it also becomes a good mix and match of subtle and larger elements that people put together to set up their home. When it comes to festivities people usually love to go all out and want to deck up their home even more with the extra touch as per the relevant season. Let us look at some home décor ideas and trends that people could incorporate for this festive season.
Table Décor
The dining table is where the festivities actually begin whether it is any occasion from the clinking of the glasses to having lip smacking and delicious festival food and desserts that follow later with family and guests that have come over. Your regular dining set up can be transformed for you to lay a gorgeous table and a fabulous spread for your guests. Showy dining table mats with intricate work can be placed with beautiful table runners and artistic coasters. The table can have a pretty candle stand in the middle or 2 to 3 scented candle tubs can be lit, considering it is a long dining table accommodating several people or it may be changed as per the dynamics of the table. There are brands in the market that also make special crockery and cutlery whose design is festive specific and the same can be chosen by the host to serve food to the guests.
Accent Wall
Several walls at home could be adorned creatively through the year and during the festive season it can be replaced with seasonal décor elements. It could be a wall at the entrance, in the passage, near the stairway, in the living room, the balcony or the bedroom. These accents literally liven up the blank backdrop of the wall and bring it to life. Examples of accents that one could use would be art paintings, dream catchers, macramés, ribbons, hanging planters, artificial creepers, and other wall hangings. At the rim of the wall beneath, one can even place illuminating oil lamps or electric lamps. Here is where the guests can get amazing pictures with lit backdrops.
Quirky Décor
Random fun elements of décor can be thrown in to add that quirky touch to any festivity. These things can be placed mostly in the living room or balcony where you would be entertaining guests and children. Examples of such items could be handcrafted items, metallic decorative objects made out of gold or silver which will sparkle up the room. You can have your regular cushions replaced with festive designer cushions. The chairs can also have lovely detachable new covers placed on the old ones that will match up with the cushions. A fancy colour appropriate bean bag or two can be placed depending on the space in any cosy corner of the living room or the balcony for someone to just lounge around. Santa Claus, Reindeers or Stars as soft toys could be placed near the Christmas tree for kids to play around with. Overall, the colour palettes and design elements in the entire room must blend and match up so it looks well put together rather than looking gaudy. Placement of objects is key as it can make or mar the festive look.
Lighting it Up
Lighting fixtures must be cleverly used and placed at several spots in the home to bring out that festive vibe. The balcony can have glittering fairy lights installed. The living room centre ceiling or the centre above the dining table can have a massive chandelier put up to add the element of grandeur. The corners near the sofas can have festive lampshades that will gleam it up. Needless to say, the entrance of the home has to be the prettiest decked up with lights that welcome everyone in and traditional floor art which is rangoli can be made and can be further elevated and brightened up with tea lights.

Windows and Fireplaces
While the walls, balcony and the rest of the home is done up, we mustn’t forget the cute windows that can be decorated with festive curtains and ribbons. If there happens to be a fireplace at home that too can be made festive and cosy for guests where blankets and gloves can be thrown in for everyone to stay warm.
