Diwali is still more than a week away. But doesn’t it feel nice to get your lighting – diyas and tealights ready? I was thinking why not bring in more color with such hanging lanterns this year? I’ve got one red one hanging in my balcony along with my hanging planter. I’m thinking adding a couple more would make the balcony look stunning along with the diyas. What are your plans? Are you going completely traditional this year with just diyas, or do you intend to create some drama with the lights? Some places where you get such lanterns are The Bombay Store, fabindia, and Bliss. Image courtesy: Not on the high street Also check out fab and funky
Today, I share with you some lovely pictures of floating candles found on Flickr. Yes, yet another post on candles; it’s Diwali time after all. I stopped by @Home last afternoon to check out their new collection. Pretty disappointing! Most artificial flowers, however lovely they may seem, can be discarded for most of it were broken. And, the candle/diya collection is a shame. They could definitely do better than that. The floating candles are priced Rs.150 a pair. You can get similar ones in smaller shops at Rs.100 for four pieces.
Here are some great decoration ideas for this Diwali:
