Festive Season Prep: Choosing the Perfect Carpet Before Diwali
We know that it's not just us who can feel the festive season approaching. The mornings are getting pleasant day by day, there is a bit of cool breeze around us, and the air we breathe seems different. Yes, now that we’ve mentioned it, you can feel it too. With the Navratri beginning from today, it is a reminder that we are very close to the most celebrated festival in our country. Diwali, the festival of lights. It is during these 20-30 days that everyone starts to prep their home for the upcoming festivities. Family get-togethers, unexpected guests coming to exchange gifts, and of course, the Diwali parties are a good enough excuse to enhance the visuals and warmth in your space.
Among other decorative elements, a traditional, handmade rug serves as the foundation upon which the festive decor is built. Once the rug is placed, the candles, diyas, and rangolis can be placed accordingly to keep both the interior and exterior of your space in sync. Making rangolis is a tradition in Diwali. While outside, powdered colors can be used, inside, a rug acts like one. These handmade accents embrace a deep symbolic meaning during this festival. They represent abundance, comfort, and the welcoming of prosperity into the homes. When any guests enter your home during the festive season, the 1st thing they notice is the visuals of the space. When they step on the floor, the carpet underneath will make them feel that they are standing in a luxurious and a warmth filled environment.
It might be possible that you already have a carpet in your home. While that is a good thing, you need to make sure that it is relevant to be rolled out for the Diwali season. In case you decide to purchase a new rug, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind before making such an investment.
1. The color- Diwali is a festival of lights. Everything around is colorful. You need to make sure that the rug that you roll out in the living room is a colorful one. A rug that has a vibrant pattern, bright colors would not only enhance the visuals of the space but also add life to it. However, you need to make sure that the rug has the right colors. They should not just be in sync with other elements of the space, but also need to be on the traditional palette.
2. The design- In India, festivals are a part of our history and tradition. Make sure that you place a carpet that has a traditional design. An accent like this will breathe a festive air indeed into the home of the atmosphere and fill the space with warmth and comfort.
3. The Material- The festive season is a time when you might have to host a lot of guests. You need to make sure that the quality of the rug is up to the mark. Not only should the guests feel comfortable, but the carpet should have a thick pile so that it doesn't go bad till the next few Diwalis. You can always buy a new carpet every season but a rug can be a heavy investment.
