Elevate your home ambiance with the enchanting scents of the season, expertly recommended by Ridhima Kansal, Director, Rosemoore. Immerse yourself in the festive spirit using carefully selected scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or potpourri featuring notes of pine, cinnamon, and cedar. Embrace modernity with diffusers boasting stylish designs, seamlessly blending into your elegant decor.

She highlighted Seasonal Fragrance Delights, incorporating the timeless aroma of Christmas through a pine-scented wreath. Whether you choose a real or fake wreath, make sure it has the natural smell of pine needles. Hang it on your front door to welcome guests with the nostalgic scent of a fresh winter forest, setting a traditional and festive atmosphere in your home.

For a modern touch, try spiced orange potpourri. Make a mix of dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and star anise in a nice bowl. This blend not only brings a modern feel to your space but also fills the air with a delightful citrusy and spiced fragrance, creating a cozy and inviting vibe. Put the potpourri strategically on your coffee table or use it as a centerpiece for a subtle yet impactful scent."

Tejpal Singh Shekhawat, Founder and CEO, of Kalyanam Furniture suggested Santa-themed decor ideas. He said "Create a magical winter setting in your home by adding festive Santa-inspired decorations to your furniture. Use pillows and cushions with Santa pictures, making your seating area look playful and charming. You can even have a special Santa ottoman or stool in the middle of your living room to make it feel extra festive.”

“To make your home feel calm and fancy, use winter white furniture. Cover your couch with snowy white blankets and add cushions to make it look like a peaceful winter scene. Make it more special by adding shiny silver or gold touches to your furniture, making your home look modern and elegant, like a snowy retreat.”

“For an extra touch of sparkle, add shiny details to your furniture, like chairs or stools with shiny legs or small shiny decorations. Strategically place ottomans, stools, and chairs, This not only makes your home look fancy and modern but also ensures that kids and guests can settle down easily and comfortably."

"Start with a rustic theme to create a cozy holiday vibe at home. Use furniture with a distressed but elegant look, adding weathered wooden elements in Christmas colors for that festive touch. Bring in the feel of a woodland retreat by adding rustic wooden decor like crates, ornaments, candle holders, and a Christmas tree made from reclaimed wood.”

For a modern twist, introduce sleek and shiny nutcracker figurines to add a touch of magic. Place them strategically for a sophisticated update. Make the space even more stylish by adding metallic touches to your furniture, creating a blend of festive spirit and a classy atmosphere, he said. 

“Create a comfy corner with big sofas, warm blankets, and cushions near the Christmas tree. Make it extra cozy with well-placed lamps, adding pockets of inviting light. This mix of rustic charm, woodland retreat, modern magic, and a touch of glamour will turn your home into a stylish and inviting place for the festive and holiday vibe." said Mr. Raghunandan Saraf, Founder and CEO, of Saraf Furniture.
