10 Wedding Home Decor Ideas To Turn Your Home Into 'Shaadi Wala Ghar'

Indian living rooms are known to be cluttered — from a cabinet full of random things to electronics and unwanted wiring. So, before starting anything in terms of decoration, your first step should be getting rid of anything and everything that's not needed and making space for temporary storage where all of this can go! Or if those things are needed, make sure it's arranged in a way that doubles up as decor. For instance, using wicker baskets to arrange and compartmentalise them.

From drapes to carpets, and from bedding to throws, furnishing plays an important role in making your home look new and wedding-ready. To make your home look truly wedding-ready, make sure you pick the correct colour hues and shades. Think in terms of colour combinations such as dark pink and red, purple and dark blue, orange and lemon yellow, green and red, etc. To add extra flavour, adorn your curtains with flowers to instantly upgrade the way your drapery setting looks. If too many colours aren't your thing, then invest in good macrame curtains and set them together with indoor plants.
