Diwali Outdoor Decorations

During the festival of Diwali the surroundings are decorated from every nook and corner. It becomes as important to decorate the outside of the house as it is to beautify the interior of it. After all, it is the outside that attracts initially. We provide you with some great tips to adorn the exterior of your house that people are awestruck. The most important part of outdoor decoration is lighting. Candles and Diyas stop glowing after a certain period of time and it is expensive as well as difficult to replace them again and again.

Thus, it is better to brighten up the outside of your house with electric lights. Moreover, you won't have to stick to same old string of big and bulky bulbs. Lights too have been glamorized. They come in sundry patterns and designs. In order to cover the entire house you can use out of rope lights, string lights, net of lights etc. In the middle you can also stick an lighted star, Aum or Swastika. These lights come in affordable prices and are very convenient to use.

Rangoli is another important activity during Diwali. People give warm welcome to their guests by either painting a Rangoli or making it with dry colors. At times, people use household items like rice, pulses etc to make Rangoli. Otherwise, abir of different colors is used to make exquisite designs. Rangolis can be made in various geometrical designs, religious themes, ornamental designs etc. Invoke your creative muses and make innovative Rangoli designs. Torans are a must to be placed outside the door of any house, especially during the festival of Diwali. They are auspicious and add elegance to the entry point of the house. The door is accentuated with a toran on the top a Rangoli design on the floor.

If you have a garden at the front of your home, you can decorate it by tying string lights around the trees and plants. Make use of the space to organize a small get together for your loved ones. Place idols of Lord Ganesha, Goddess Lakshmi, which would append a divine vibes to your celebrations. So, decorate the outdoor of your house and celebrate Diwali among the glittering and beautiful surroundings
