Rangoli
A staple in every Diwali celebration, the rangoli welcomes people as they enter and sets the tone for your décor. Done in bright colours, rangoli can be made with colored powders, chalk, paint and even flowers.

Traditionally it is made with colored powders and the designs can be as easy or as complicated as you want. You don’t have to stick to just one medium. Mix and match with powders and flowers, add diyas or candles to the mix or just make one entirely using flowers! The possibilities are endless.
Diyas/Candles
Lighting up your office space doesn’t have to be complicated with grotesque and huge diyas/candles that are inundating the market right now. It can be as simple as a beautiful container with simple floating candles in it along with some flower petals.

Placing simple diyas or plain colourful diyas or even gel candles across the office space will give it a sophisticated festive charm. You can even serve some Diwali love with a platter full of diyas.
Tea light candles, the most versatile of the lot can be used in ways that can’t even be counted. Place them in glass containers, with pin hole lanterns or even in bigger diyas themselves!
Lights
As basic as string lights or as modern as LED strips, lights are not only for outside decorations. Start with your door edges and window sills and adorn them with string lights to give them an ethereal look.

Use fairy lights to make your own wall décor. Cover the lights with colored paper cups, egg carton covers, stuff the lights into old liquor bottles or the hipster favourite mason jars for decorative pieces or just hang them by themselves!
Wall Hangings
Move over torans, lanterns are here to beautify your space. Hang a string of same or similar paper lanterns from window sills or ceilings to give your Diwali a modern touch. Paper lanterns with string/fairy lights look even better. Glass lanterns with tea light candles are another good alternative.
Florals for décor? Hell yes! Use artificial or real flowers for wall hangings, but in a different way. String single flowers at large spaces and make flower garland curtains or make flower décor corners around the office with different kinds of flowers.

Decorate the pooja corner with flower garlands and place diyas with flowers like the marigold around them; if you’re feeling lazy for the wall décor just hang flower garlands all around!
So this Diwali don’t let the evil put the lights out on your party and make your office all pretty with these Diwali decoration ideas!
