6 Home Décor Ideas to Ensure Your Home Reflects Your Culture
Everyone relates to the adage that your home is your castle. It is where you breathe free and truly feel yourself. Your home is an extension of your personality – it should be a place where you feel happy and comforted and very often, it is the little things that remind you of who you are and where you are from that most makes your home feel like your safety blanket. Here are some 6 amazing home decorating ideas to ensure you are never far from the cultural background that has shaped your identity and destiny.
Create the setting with a wooden carved door
If the aesthetic for your home is traditional, a beautifully carved wooden front door, embellished with brass fittings is the perfect starting point. But even if your décor is more contemporary, you can still incorporate this element into your home by means of a latticework door for the puja area. Woodsala offers a selection of antique doors that can serve as wall hangings. They are elegant and truly a homage to Indian culture.
Get comfy on a traditional Indian Diwan
The Diwan is a versatile piece of wooden furniture that every home needs! It is sleek, fits into small spaces, expands your seating area and is simply beautiful to look at. Go for one with a curved headrest and carved legs and upholster with plush velvet or brocade for the perfect feel of antique Indian furniture.

Enjoy your meals on an elegant dining table
The dining table is one of the most important home décor furniture pieces in your home.
