Accessories and Artefacts

Eco-friendly craft-based decor like pinecones, �shola' flowers, stuffed danglers, papier-mache danglers, wooden toys, paper fairies, can be used, HomeLane adds.

Accentuate With a Hanging Decorative

Suspending a plant, lantern or any decorative piece from the ceiling not only makes the room eye-catching, but also makes the ceiling look higher. If you love hanging wall paintings, do not shower your money on multiple small paintings. Invest in one large wall painting that would accentuate the wall paint, suggests Ameesha Puri, Avian Luxury Furniture.

Lighting

White light is better for high concentration tasks like reading and cooking. It is also linked to our body's natural circadian rhythm that is influenced by sunlight. The sun at noon emits white light and in the evening warm light, this regulates our body's natural circadian rhythm also called "sleep-wake cycle" in humans, says Sumit Padmakar Joshi, Signify Innovations India.

Candlelight is also a favourite element, and candles of all shapes and sizes add warmth and whimsy to any space.
