KUALA LUMPUR, October 30 – Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, is known for bringing warmth and color to Malaysian homes. This year, why not break away from traditional decor and elevate your celebration with some fresh, unconventional ideas? These five decor hacks blend style and creativity, using items you may already have at home to create a vibrant, festive atmosphere.

For a unique lighting setup, try using colorful mugs or minimalist serving bowls as candleholders. This twist adds a modern flair to your decor, allowing you to experiment with various colors and textures. And if you’re looking to create a stunning backdrop, hang marigold garlands or fairy lights on a curtain rod to brighten up any space. Meanwhile, transform an outdoor table into a stand for your rangoli design, and use a mini greenhouse as a glowing lantern display with twinkling lights or LED candles for a cozy ambiance.

Lastly, make your snack table as appealing as it is delicious with vibrant displays using trays and jars. Whether it’s laddoos, murukkus, or sweets, presenting them in an eye-catching arrangement adds a touch of elegance to your celebration. These hacks are sure to surprise your guests and bring a fresh take to Deepavali festivities. For more festive decor ideas, explore the AROMATISK collection at IKEA stores or online at IKEA.my.
