Over the course of nine days, Navratri, one of India's most joyous and vibrant holidays, honours the strength and energy of Goddess Durga. In addition to the prayers, dancing, and family get-togethers, Navratri is a wonderful opportunity to revamp your house.

Now is the ideal moment to create a joyful, upbeat mood. Your house may seem lighter, cosier, and more festive with a few minor adjustments.

Here are nine easy and stylish home makeover ideas by myTrident to help you celebrate Navratri in style:

1. Refresh Your Living Room

The living room is where most Navratri celebrations take place, making it the perfect place to start your festive makeover.

• Begin by decluttering and rearranging your furniture to create more open space for guests and gatherings.
  
  
• Add a fresh touch with myTrident pillows and pillow covers, such as the Urban Comfort Soft Fibre Pillow (Pack of 2) for cozy seating.
  
  
• Layer with vibrant pillow covers like Majestic Mandala Red or Party Mood Teal to instantly brighten the room, and pair these with matching throws or a colorful rug.
  
  

For an extra festive vibe, add simple décor elements like brass idols, flower vases, or candles. The softness and color of myTrident’s bedding accents enhance comfort and create a warm, welcoming living room ready for Navratri celebrations.

2. Rangoli for a Warm Welcome

Rangoli is a traditional way to infuse your home with colour and hope. Place it near your puja area, in the living room, or at the entrance.

• Use flower petals, coloured powders, or eco-friendly rangoli stickers to create stunning designs.
  
  
• Opt for simple geometric patterns in vibrant hues that complement your interior design for a contemporary look.
  
  

Rangoli showcases creativity while making your house feel alive, happy, and inviting for Navratri.

3. Brighten Up with Lighting

Good lighting can transform any space quickly.

• Replace outdated bulbs with string fairy lights or warm, soft-toned lights.
  
  
• Use lanterns or traditional diyas for authentic illumination, or opt for LED candles as a safe and attractive alternative.
  
  
• Layered lighting — including floor, table, and ceiling lamps — creates a cozy, festive atmosphere.
  
  

This makes Navratri celebrations more cheerful and visually appealing.

4. Pooja Area Makeover

The pooja area is the centre of your home during Navratri.

• Begin by cleaning and organising it. Consider adding a new altar backdrop or linen.
  
  
• Ensure this space is bright and welcoming, allowing you to pray peacefully.
  
  
• Decorate with fresh flowers, garlands, and ornate diyas.
  
  
• A small shelf can help keep idols, incense, and other pooja items tidy.
  
  

These simple touches create a sacred, joyful atmosphere.

5. Update Curtains and Fabrics

Refreshing your curtains and fabrics can dramatically lift the look of any room.

• Opt for vibrant colours or ethnic patterns to capture the festival's spirit.
  
  
• Pillows can also double as table runners, cushion covers, or bed accents to match your theme.
  
  
• Mixing current furniture with antique styles achieves a well-balanced, fashionable look that is both festive and contemporary.
  
  

6. Add Flowers and Indoor Plants

Flowers and plants bring freshness and positivity.

• Decorate with marigolds, roses, or jasmine in vases or as garlands for doors and windows.
  
  
• Indoor plants add greenery and life to your spaces.
  
  
• Combining flowers with potted plants creates a vibrant, natural environment, making your home lively and welcoming for Navratri.

7. Accent Walls and Wall Art

You can change your home’s appearance instantly.

• Add a basic wall décor or create a vivid accent wall with paint, wallpaper, or wall decals.
  
  
• Hang mirrors, traditional artwork, or framed pictures from previous festivities.
  
  

Even modest wall decorations make your home feel cosy and welcoming for family and visitors during Navratri.

8. Refresh Your Kitchen and Dining Area

Your kitchen and dining area are essential during gatherings.

• Keep counters and cabinets clean and organised.
  
  
• Add bright table runners or mats, and a small ornamental centrepiece like a metal plate with flowers or diyas.
  
  
• Chic serving bowls or platters can enhance the festive dining experience.
  
  

A tidy and vibrant kitchen makes hosting and serving easier while adding to the festive ambiance.

9. Create a Festive Fragrance

The scent of your home greatly impacts the festival mood.

• Use light scented candles, incense sticks, or essential oil diffusers.
  
  
• Floral or sandalwood scents create a quiet, joyful atmosphere, making Navratri celebrations memorable.
