Give your home a Bollywood-inspired makeover for Lohri, Makar Sankranti

As the winter chill begins to wane, the vibrant festivals of Lohri and Makar Sankranti usher in a season of warmth and celebration. To infuse your home with the spirit of Bollywood glamour and make these festivities truly memorable, consider giving your living space a Bollywood-inspired makeover.

Embrace the colours, patterns, and exuberance of Bollywood to create an atmosphere that radiates joy and festivity.

Include sun-kissed colours in your palette

Bollywood is synonymous with rich, vibrant colours and luxurious fabrics. For a Lohri and Makar Sankranti-themed makeover, opt for a palette of bright hues such as mustard yellow, fiery red, and emerald green.

According to Prof (Dr) Preetha RaviSree, associate dean, Premium Interior Design Department, Pearl Academy, these colours evoke the warmth of the harvest season and resonate with the traditional attires worn during these festivals.

Incorporate these colours into your home through accessories like cushions, throws, and curtains.

Bollywood’s opulence is in its fabrics

Consider using traditional Indian fabrics like silk, brocade, or cotton with intricate embroidery or bold prints to add a touch of Bollywood opulence.

Preetha recommended repurposing colourful dupattas or sarees as drapes or table runners to enliven living spaces.

Introduce bold and ornate furniture

The bollywood-inspired decor is often characterised by bold and ornate furniture. Introduce furniture with intricate carvings, brass accents, and vibrant upholstery to create a regal ambiance. Low seating arrangements, like floor cushions and poufs, are reminiscent of traditional Indian seating and can add an authentic touch to your home, explained Preetha.

Create the grandeur of Bollywood sets with lighting

Choose pendant lights or chandeliers with intricate designs that mimic the grandeur of Bollywood sets. Warm, golden lighting can add a cozy and festive feel to your home, perfectly complementing the Lohri and Makar Sankranti celebrations.

Make a Bollywood playlist

No Bollywood-inspired celebration is complete without music and entertainment. Create a playlist of lively Bollywood tunes to keep the festive spirit alive. Set up a corner with traditional Indian instruments like a tabla or sitar to add a live music element to your celebrations.

Embrace the magic of the silver screen and transform your home into a cinematic masterpiece for these joyous occasions.
