Space in many Indian homes is a precious commodity, especially in urban areas. Therefore, opting for compact decorations is key. Explore options like reusable paper lanterns, fabric torans, and miniature diyas. Fabric torans can be washed and reused every year. Think about small, elegant statues instead of large ones. Consider using natural elements like flowers for that festive look. Remember, less is often more. [Diyas, Torans]
