How traditional decor pieces are being reimagined in modern homes?

Home decor has always been a reflection of who we are — a blend of tradition, lifestyle, and creativity. In today’s world, modern homes are finding fresh ways to bring traditional Indian decor pieces into contemporary living spaces. What once adorned only festive occasions is now becoming part of everyday interiors, reimagined with a boho-aesthetic twist.

At Aangan of India, we’ve seen how handcrafted treasures like torans, beaded curtains, and festive umbrellas are making a comeback — not just as cultural accents, but as bold, stylish statements in modern homes.


1. Torans as Everyday Welcome Pieces

Traditionally, torans were hung at the front door during festivals and special occasions. But in today’s homes, they’re being used year-round as warm, welcoming decor. Modern homeowners style torans not only at entrances but also as wall hangings, window dressings, or even mantel accents. With vibrant embroidery, beads, and tassels, they bring color and personality into minimalist spaces.

2. Beaded Curtains Beyond the Doorway

Beaded curtains are no longer just partitions for doorways. In modern homes, they’re being reimagined as:

  • Wall Art Backdrops: A textured, bohemian alternative to paintings.

  • Window Accents: Allowing sunlight to filter through in playful patterns.

  • Event Styling: Chic photo corners or party decor.

Their lightweight, colorful designs add movement and artistic flair, making them perfect for boho-chic interiors.

3. Festive Umbrellas as Statement Decor

Hand-embroidered festive umbrellas, once limited to weddings and Navratri functions, are finding a place in modern homes as statement decor pieces. From quirky corner props in living rooms to garden party accents or even ceiling hangings, these umbrellas are turning everyday spaces into conversation starters.

4. Mixing Tradition with Minimalism

The beauty of today’s design trends is balance. Pairing vibrant traditional pieces with neutral modern interiors creates a striking contrast. For example:

  • A bright toran against a white doorway.

  • Colorful beaded curtains adding movement to sleek glass windows.

  • A festive umbrella placed beside a contemporary sofa as a pop of art.

This mix keeps homes rooted in culture while still feeling chic and global.


From torans at the entrance to beaded curtains in the living room and embroidered umbrellas as quirky accents, traditional decor is being reimagined with fresh, modern perspectives. These pieces aren’t just decorative—they tell stories of heritage while fitting seamlessly into today’s design aesthetics.

At Aangan of India, we believe every handmade piece carries a legacy. And when reimagined in modern homes, they create a bridge between tradition and contemporary style.
