There's something about the weeks leading up to Diwali that transforms even the most practical among us into hopeless romantics. Suddenly, we're all scrolling through decor ideas at midnight, convinced that this year, our homes will look like they've been styled by a magazine editor with impeccable taste and unlimited budget. The good news? You don't need either of those things. What you do need is a bit of planning, some thoughtful choices, and perhaps a little help from the Livspace Triple Delight Festival sale running for a limited time this season.
This Diwali, whether you're sprucing up your own space or hunting for that perfect gift that says "I actually put thought into this," we've rounded up 20+ ideas that'll make your home feel like the warm, welcoming sanctuary it deserves to be. Because let's be honest, the festival of lights should extend beyond just the diyas, shouldn't it?
Cane Comfort bedside table
Let's start with the unsung hero of bedroom furniture. The Cane Comfort bedside table isn't just a place to dump your phone before bed (though we're all guilty of that). The Cane Comfort Bedside Table brings that perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary clean lines. The cane detailing adds texture without overwhelming the space, and it's exactly the sort of piece your mum would approve of whilst still feeling decidedly un-fuddy-duddy.
Fluted Grace bedside table
If the Cane Comfort is the dependable friend, the Fluted Grace Bedside Table is its slightly more glamorous cousin. Those vertical grooves catch the light beautifully, creating subtle shadows that add depth to your bedroom. It's the kind of piece that makes guests ask, "Where did you get that?" And isn't that really what we're all after?
Wedge 2 seater sofa with left arm
Here's the thing about Diwali: people will be coming over. Lots of people. The Wedge 2 seater sofa isn't just seating; it's a strategic investment in your sanity. The left arm configuration means you can tuck it into a corner or pair it with other pieces, and the clean lines mean it won't fight with your festive decor. When your relatives settle in for that post-mithai chai, they'll sink into this and possibly never leave (you've been warned).
Hudson slipper accent chair
Sometimes, a room needs that one piece that makes people stop and take notice. The Hudson Slipper Accent Chair is that piece. Low-slung and impossibly chic, it's perfect for that awkward corner you've been ignoring or as extra seating that actually looks intentional. During Diwali, drape it with a luxurious throw, and watch it become everyone's favourite perching spot.
Hayden home premium cosy cuppa pouf cum coffee table with storage
The Swiss Army knife of furniture. Is it a pouf? Is it a coffee table? Is it storage? Yes to all three, and that's precisely why it's brilliant. During the festival season, when your home needs to be both beautiful and functional (and possibly hide all the clutter you've shoved away), this cuppa pouf cum coffee table earns its keep. Place a tray on top, laden with tealights, and you've got instant atmosphere.
Espricia embroidered cushion cover | Floral Mirage
Right, let's talk cushions. They're the quickest way to give any space a festive lift, and the Espricia embroidered cushion cover in floral mirage is particularly lovely. The embroidery adds that handcrafted touch that feels special without trying too hard. Scatter a few of these across your sofa, and suddenly your living room looks like it's ready for its close-up.
Pro tip: Mix these with solid colours in rich jewel tones—deep emeralds, sapphire blues, or ruby reds—for a look that's festive but not Christmas-card-level overwhelming.
Kitchen linen set
The kitchen is where the real Diwali magic happens, isn't it? Between the endless rounds of snacks and the proper meal and the mithai that keeps appearing, your kitchen works overtime. The Nonna's Home solid dyed kitchen linen set is one of those gifts that makes someone feel seen. It says, "I know you're going to be cooking up a storm, and you deserve lovely things whilst doing it."
The solid-dyed aesthetic means these pieces work with any kitchen colour scheme, and the quality ensures they'll hold up through countless festival feasts. They're practical, yes, but they're also rather lovely—which is exactly what kitchen essentials should be.
Nonna's Home | Tuscan-inspired printed table napkins
Moving from the kitchen to the dining table, the Tuscan-inspired printed table napkins are one of those small touches that elevate any meal. Proper cloth napkins (not those paper things) make even a casual meal feel more intentional. For gifting, pair these with the kitchen linen set for a complete package that says, "I want your home to feel special."
Nonna's Home | Tuscan-inspired tablecloth
A beautiful tablecloth is transformative. Suddenly, your dining table isn't just where you eat—it's where memories happen. The Nonna's Home tablecloth from the Tuscan collection coordinates beautifully with the napkins, creating a cohesive look that feels pulled together without being matchy-matchy in that trying-too-hard way.
During Diwali, when you're likely hosting multiple meals, having a proper tablecloth means you can dress your table up or down depending on the occasion
Nonna's Home | Tuscan-inspired table runner
If a full tablecloth feels like too much commitment (or if you've got a gorgeous table you don't want to cover completely), the table runner from the same collection is your answer. It adds that finishing touch whilst letting your table shine through. Layer the runner over a solid tablecloth in a complementary colour, or use it directly on your wooden table with placemats.
Nonna's Home | Quilted pot holders
These might seem humble, but hear me out. Good pot holders are the unsung heroes of any kitchen, especially during festival season when you're juggling multiple dishes. The quilted detailing is charming, and they're infinitely more elegant than those sad, scorched cloths most of us make do with. Tuck these into a gift basket with some specialty tea or homemade treats, and you've got yourself a thoughtful present.
Lisseto | Mulberry silk pillow cover
After all the festivities, you're going to want to collapse into bed, and your head deserves to land on something spectacular. The Lisseto mulberry silk pillow cover isn't just about luxury (though it certainly is that); it's genuinely better for your skin and hair. This is the sort of gift that makes someone feel utterly pampered. "Dekho, someone thinks I deserve nice things," they'll think as they drift off to sleep.
Fergana | Bohemian printed cotton bedsheet set
Thread count matters, but so does personality. The Fergana bedsheet set manages both admirably. The bohemian prints add visual interest without being too busy, and at 250TC, you're getting quality that'll last well beyond this Diwali season. For gifting, this works wonderfully for the friend who's finally got their own place or the family member who's always talking about "one day" redecorating.
Chippa Lane | Contemporary Indian print design bedding set
There's something rather wonderful about contemporary Indian design that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to be either traditional or modern—it just is. The Chippa Lane bedding set captures this perfectly. The coordinated pieces mean your bed looks thoughtfully put together without you having to stress about mixing and matching patterns.
Chippa Lane | Contemporary Indian print reversible comforter
The reversible comforter from the same collection deserves its own moment. At 120GSM, it's that perfect weight for Indian weather—substantial enough to feel cosy but not so heavy you're sweating by midnight. The reversible feature is particularly clever for those who like to switch up their look depending on their mood (or how much dusting they can be bothered to do).
Paleto | Everyday essentials cotton bathrobe
Is there anything quite as luxurious as a proper bathrobe? The Paleto bathrobe is one of those gifts that people rarely buy for themselves but absolutely love receiving. After a long day of Diwali preparations (or celebrations), wrapping yourself in a plush bathrobe with a cup of chai is a small but significant joy.
Paleto | Everyday Essentials terry towel set
Fresh towels have this magical ability to make you feel like you're living in a five-star hotel. This six-piece set means you've got bath towels, hand towels, and face towels sorted—everything matches, everything's soft, and everything works. For the relative who hosts everyone during festivals, this is a godsend gift.
Metallic vintage decor pieces
Now we're getting to the heart of Diwali decor, aren't we? Metallic vintage pieces have this uncanny ability to look both timeless and terribly now. Whether it's a distressed gold candleholder, an antique-finish brass bowl, or a sculptural piece with patina, these items bring character and depth to your space.
The beauty of vintage-style metallic decor is that it works year-round. You're not buying something that'll be packed away come November—these pieces earn their keep in your home long after the festival lights dim.
Urli with diya

An urli filled with water and floating diyas is such a classic Diwali decoration, but it never gets old. There's something mesmerising about watching those small flames dance on water, their light multiplied by the reflection. Add some fresh flowers—marigolds are traditional, but roses or jasmine work beautifully too—and you've got a centrepiece that'll have everyone reaching for their phones to photograph.
Pretty brasswares

Brass pieces—whether it's a small statue, a decorative bowl, a diya stand, or traditional bells—bring that essential warmth that defines Diwali. The lovely thing about brass is how it ages; it develops character over time, each patina mark telling a story. These aren't just decorations; they're pieces you can pass down.
Start a collection if you haven't already. Each Diwali, add one special brass piece. In a few years, you'll have a curated collection that's uniquely yours, each piece bringing back memories of the year you bought it.
Pretty candle holders

Candles and Diwali go together like chai and biskut. But rather than settling for basic holders, invest in some really lovely ones—think geometric designs that cast interesting shadows, antique-inspired pieces with intricate detailing, or minimalist modern styles that let the candle's glow take centre stage.
Before we move on, a quick note: Livspace is running their Triple Delight Festival this season—a limited-time sale that makes now rather an excellent time to tick off your Diwali shopping list. Whether you're gifting or treating yourself (and you should absolutely do both), there's something rather satisfying about getting beautiful things at better prices. Just saying.
The art of gifting during Diwali
Choosing Diwali gifts can feel fraught, can't it? Too personal, and it might be awkward. Too impersonal, and it feels thoughtless. Home furnishings and decor occupy this perfect middle ground. They're personal enough to show care but practical enough to be genuinely useful.
Consider who you're buying for:
- The new homeowner: Furniture pieces like the Wedge sofa or the versatile pouf
- The gracious host: Kitchen linens, beautiful napkins, or that bathrobe for post-party recovery
- The style-conscious friend: The Hudson accent chair or embroidered cushion covers
- The practical relative: Towel sets, bedding, or those clever pot holders
- The traditionalist with modern taste: Brass pieces, urlis, or the Chippa Lane collection
The beauty of these gifts is that they're not going to be shoved in a cupboard and forgotten. They'll be used, seen, and appreciated. Every time your sister-in-law uses those gorgeous napkins or your best friend's guests comment on that accent chair, they'll think of you. That's the gift that keeps giving, isn't it?

FAQs
1. What are the most versatile Diwali decor pieces I can buy?
Metallic accent pieces like brass bowls, urlis, and candle holders are your best bet. They work beautifully during Diwali but don't scream "festival decor," so you can keep them out year-round. Cushion covers in rich colours and quality table linens also transition well between festive and everyday use.
2. How do I choose Diwali gifts for people with different interior styles?
Stick to classics with clean lines. Pieces like the Paleto towel sets, Lisseto silk pillow covers, or Nonna's Home kitchen linens work across various aesthetics because they focus on quality and subtle design rather than trend-driven looks.
3. Are expensive home furnishings worth it, or should I prioritise decor accessories for Diwali?
It depends on what you need. If you've been making do with mismatched, worn-out basics, investing in quality fundamentals (good bedding, proper towels, a piece of furniture you've been needing) during a sale makes brilliant sense. These improve your daily life long after Diwali ends. However, if your basics are sorted, splurging on beautiful accessories and decor pieces can completely transform your space for the festive season. The best approach? Do a bit of both.
