Diwali Decoration for Rented Homes: Beautiful Ideas With No Drilling
Make the flat festive and get your deposit back.
Rented flat, strict landlord, freshly painted walls. Diwali decor is still possible. The trick is to decorate the floor, the shelf and the table first, and to use the wall only with removable hooks.
Always test any hook or tape on a small hidden spot, and check your lease.
Pushp Vatika Floral Rangoli Mats Set of 9
The floor does the most work
Mats need no hanging at all. Cluster Pushp Vatika in the living room, or lay Festival Glow Mats at the door.
Shelves and tables
Use shelves and the centre table for light: Chaand Bati tealights, Crystal Cube Candles and Lotus Crystal LED Lamps. None of this needs a nail.
The wall, carefully
For a backdrop or toran, use removable hooks suited to your wall, or a light stand or frame. The White Flower Panel and Marigold Curtain can hang from a curtain rod too.
The deposit-safe checklist
☐ Test hooks on a hidden spot
☐ Hang a day early and check the paint
☐ Use LED or water-activated lights near fabric
☐ Take photos before and after
☐ Remove everything slowly and gently
