e all know what time of
the year it is, the season of
festivities, which means a

spring clean! Festive season is the perfect
time to bring in new elements to your
home. From simple changes like adding
a little colour to your upholstery or even
refurbishing your furniture this season is
synonymous with new things.This season
brings with it an explosion of colours,
everywhere you look there is an array
of vibrancy.The best part is that you can
play with almost every possible element
in your room.
Read on to find out how, from humble
cushions to towering walls, you can
customise almost everything to give your
homea magnificent look.
Bold is beautiful
Ever thought that bold can be the new
gold for you this festive season!Thereare
endless choices when it comes to experi-
menting with colours to get that distinct
and bold look. There are two approaches
to selecting colours for your home. You
can always take the subtle-simple road
with muted and earthy shades and a
pastel palette would work beautifully
with these. Make sure to add an eccentric
element by adding a touch of bold colour
in the form of dark and mystical shades of
grey. Besides adding a statement look to
the room, this mysterious grey will bind
the look together. The second option is
to go down the flamboyant and fabulous
avenue and choose bright shades. Hues
such as rich oranges, deep yellows and
flame reds will make your home come
alive with exuberance. An ivory coloured
sofa set and a centre table with silver
laminatesurface finished with rustic
orange raw silk cushion covers will give
your living room a regal and noble look.
All that glitter is not gold!
Who doesn’t love a bit of silver, gold or
copper? Make your home shine with
veneers in herringbone patternthat are
designed and created ingeniously for this
festive season. Veneers have the tendency
to emit silver and gleam when they are
put under lightthat can give your space a
unique radiance.
Why to restrict yourself with just walls
and accessories when you can add that
bling to your furniture as well? A dull
gold antique bar opposite an attractive
understated brown countertop will give
sophistication and grace to the entire
vision. This season has brought back the
trend of velvets, pair it with silver and
watch your room shine like a diamond.

silver, maybe copper can open new doors
for you! Use of copper colour laminates
give your space a cultural glimpseand you
can pair them with all white furniture
pieces as well.
Wood you dare?
Wood has always been a classic choice
and will remain an all-time favourite in
the coming years as well. While it can
make your home look traditional, why
not change it up a bit? Go for tan grey
real wood floors paired with a Persian
floral rug under your coffee table to
make it look distinct and edgy. Wooden
stairs have become a statement piece
too. Dark wooden stairs leading up to
the gallery or to your door which is
decorated with candles can be a subtle
way to bring that festive vibe to your
house. Veneers are also quite popular in
the industry and give you a bit of flexi-
bilityto experiment with your space.
They can be applied to various surfaces
and practically transform the subject.
You can also upgrade to engineered real
wood floors as there are a lot of options
in terms of colours and shades of the
wood in the market. With these many
options you are bound to find your cre-
ative soul and adorn your house with
dreamlike ornamentations.
So, this season, let your festive heart
be reflected in your decorated home and
become the envy of your neighbours. Ex-
perimenting with a little mix and match
is the perfect way to achieve a home of
your dreams. Let yourself be creative, let
it shine, let it be you!
