How to Style Velvet Curtains for Diwali

 1. Choose the Right Colors

• Go for rich jewel tones – Emerald Green, Royal Blue, Maroon, Wine, or Gold.

• Pair dark velvet with golden fairy lights or metallic accents for that festive glow.

• If your walls are light, pick deep colors (navy, burgundy). If walls are dark, go with lighter festive shades (champagne, pastel gold).

 2. Add Decorative Tiebacks

• Use gold or silver tasseled tiebacks to give the curtains a royal festive touch.

• You can also DIY with beaded garlands or fairy lights wrapped around tiebacks for Diwali vibes.

 3. Layer Them for Depth

• Layer velvet curtains with sheer or organza panels behind.

• During daytime, open velvet panels and let sheer ones glow with sunlight.

• At night, close velvet panels for a warm, cozy, luxurious feel.

 4. Accessorize with Festive Décor

• Place diyas, lanterns, or LED candles near curtains (safely, away from fire risk).

• Add rangoli or flower arrangements in front of the window area for a complete festive backdrop.

• Hang torans or string lights along the curtain rod for extra sparkle.

 5. Create a Festive Backdrop

Velvet curtains make a perfect photo corner backdrop during Diwali gatherings. Add cushions, fairy lights, and a low seating arrangement in front of them for Instagram-worthy moments.

Pro Tip: Pair velvet curtains with velvet or brocade cushion covers in matching tones for a coordinated Diwali look.
