Diwali, the festival of lights, is just around the corner. It is time to clean your house and decorate it with lights and diyas. How about giving a fresh look to your house before placing the lights in place? Most people do up the interiors of their home before Diwali to mark the beginning of a new year and end up burning a hole in their pocket. Why paint the whole house before Diwali when you can add a few beautiful decor pieces and make your house look refreshed and Diwali ready.

Pick a wall of your house that is prominently visible to the guests visiting your home. You can get that wall painted or textured by experts to give it a festive look.
