How to Style Indian Decor in a Modern Home

A little color can make a room feel more like home. You do not need to decorate every surface. Start with one doorway, window or table, then choose a few pieces that work together.

Start with a welcoming doorway

A toran adds a focal point above an entrance or window. Measure the opening before choosing a style. Our Kalash toran with side hangings suits a 3-foot doorway or window. Check the product page for the exact contents; mounting supplies are not included.

For a calm room, let the toran be the strongest color. Pick one of its colors for a small accent nearby, rather than filling the room with matching decorations.

Add texture with beaded curtains

Beaded strands can frame a doorway or create a decorative corner. Measure both the hanging height and the width you want to cover. Our 7-foot multicolor beaded curtain comes in selectable strand packs. The pack you choose determines the number of strings.

Approximately 1-inch spacing between strands works well. Use a rod up to 3/4 inch in diameter. A rod and mounting hardware are not included, so choose supports suitable for your wall and setup.

Dress a table without crowding it

A 12-inch steel puja thali with three bowls can help organize a puja setup. Leave space around it for the items you use. Our rangoli and diya collection offers other accents for a festive table.

Choose a palette that works beyond one occasion

Torans, garlands and table accents can overlap across housewarmings, weddings, parties and Diwali. Choose pieces for the space you have and the colors you enjoy. For a larger gathering, add flower garlands to build a coordinated backdrop.

Before ordering, check size, pack count and what is included. Styling props shown in photos are sold separately unless listed. Need help putting a setup together? Tell us about your space and event date.
