Nothing says Ganesh Chaturthi with the absence of marigold garlands and lush banana leaves. This décor choice brings a sense of auspicious beginnings and instantly brightens up the space. To create this look of Ganesh Chaturthi home decor, start by lining the backdrop with fresh banana leaves, forming a vibrant green canvas for the idol. Hang marigold garlands vertically and horizontally around the setup to add bursts of golden yellow. At the entrance, place brass urulis filled with floating flowers to welcome guests with elegance. For a rustic touch, use coconut shells as tealight holders - they add warmth while staying true to the traditional theme.

Day 2: Royal Velvet & Brass

For a regal, temple-inspired aura, nothing beats the combination of plush velvet and glowing brass. Choose deep maroon or royal blue velvet fabric as a luxurious backdrop behind the idol. This will instantly elevate the setting. Then position tall brass lamps on either side to frame the arrangement as their golden glow reflects beautifully against the velvet. Highlight the edges of the backdrop with gold lace borders for added richness. Keep the lighting warm to enhance the depth of the velvet tones, creating an ambiance that feels both grand and intimate.

Day 3: Eco-Friendly Clay & Leaf Arrangement

Celebrate sustainably with a décor style that is both beautiful and kind to the planet. Begin by laying bamboo mats as the flooring for your idol’s stage, setting a natural foundation. Craft garlands from neem leaves intertwined with marigolds for a fresh and earthy touch. Surround the idol with clay lamps filled with ghee, their flickering flames casting a serene glow. This biodegradable setup not only looks stunning but also reduces waste, making it a guilt-free way to honor the festival.

Day 4: Peacock Motif

Incorporate real or faux peacock feathers into your flower arrangements to add texture and visual interest. Scatter sequined cushions around the setup for a festive sparkle. To complete the look, use LED uplighting to highlight the peacock motifs, making the entire space shimmer with color and elegance.
