Birthdays are always special and brings more excitement and decoration goals if you are hosting one at your place for your kid. Architect Onal Kothari shares some tips and tricks to make your home birthday ready.
- Outdoors or indoors: Firstly determine the location of the party. This is an important step as it helps you decide the colour scheme for decorating the space. This factor also determines the ambiance.
- Watch the wall: Start by adding colours matching your existing wall colour. In general every Indian home has white shades for the background, which is good as white goes with every colour. For lighter shades, you can use dark and contrasting colours and for the darker wall vice versa.
- Number of visitors: This makes the task easier as far as decor essentials are concerned. For example, if you choose to have a buffet system for the party then number of plates, arrangements for serving dishes, silverwares etc. becomes easy.
- Fancy table: Take your time to plan out the party table arrangements. Make your table shine with colourful candles, napkins and flower arrangements on a graceful runner.
- Colourful fabrics: Colourful curtain decor and cushion arrangements will give your party a vibrant look. Small changes in the fabrics are capable of creating warm or cool look, irrespective of whether the birthday is celebrated indoors or outdoors.
- Fragrance: Complete your decoration with some fragrances. Make your venue smell good. Apply some air fresheners, light some agarbattis or if the budget allows, purchase the best aroma candles the city offers.
- Ceiling: Impress your guest with your decorating skills on the ceiling. A balloon, curtain or chunnis play is excellent. Decorate the emptiness with hangings over your head.
- Party supplies: A homemade banner, garlands, lanterns, snow sprays, colourful ribbons and many stylish and affordable party supplies creates the best party environment, especially if you are organizing the party for the youngest in the family.
- Games and insta-station: Games make parties come to life. Also, keep the kids occupied. Plan some games for your guest to be entertained with. The scale of your games not only makes the kids busy and happy but also helps you to arrange and decorate the space for the same. In addition, you can also have a photo-booth to record the beautiful memories.
