The same room dressed for a festival

31 occasions, 107 looks

Family moments: kids and adult birthdays, anniversaries, baby shower (godh bharai), welcoming a baby, housewarming (griha pravesh), naming ceremony, wedding functions, a proposal, bride-to-be, graduation and get-togethers. Indian festivals: Diwali, Navratri, Durga Puja, Eid, Onam, Pongal, Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Karva Chauth and Gudi Padwa. And celebrations from around the world: Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Lunar New Year, Easter and Hanukkah. Each occasion has its own looks — pastel balloons to a thousand diyas — and signature looks like a lantern sky or a floral cloud. Filter by luxe, minimal, playful, eco, Indian or global, and the next festival is always counted down at the top.

How it works

Pick the occasion, swipe through its looks and choose one. Photograph the room you will decorate. Choose the size — a simple corner, the full room or grand — and the hour: a daytime brunch, or fairy lights and diyas after dark. For birthdays, anniversaries and other family moments you can add a banner with names, like "Happy Birthday Aarav" or "Riya & Kabir". In about 30 seconds the décor is drawn into your photo, around your furniture and in your light. Every look comes with a decor list: balloons, lights, flowers, drapes and more, with how many of each for the size you chose. Each decoration uses one credit.

Decorating tips from event designers

Choose one focal wall — usually where photos and the cake table go, opposite the entrance — and put most of the décor there; the rest of the room needs only a few touches. Stick to two or three colours from the look. Measure the wall before you buy a backdrop or a balloon arch. Plan power before the day: fairy lights and LED strings need points and extension boards you can hide. Keep real diyas and candles away from curtains, and use LED diyas where children play. Fresh flowers wilt in heat, so put them up last. And for a festival, decorate for the evening first — that is when the room is seen.

Who it is for

Parents planning a child's birthday at home. Families preparing for a griha pravesh, a godh bharai or a wedding function and wanting everyone to agree on the look. Anyone who wants to see their living room dressed for Diwali or Christmas before buying a single string of lights. Decorators can show a client the setup in the client's own room instead of someone else's. Every result can be shared as a seven-second before-and-after video on WhatsApp — a nice invitation in itself. Each decoration uses one credit, and a design that fails gives it back.

Questions people ask

How can I decorate my room for a birthday at home?

Pick one focal wall for a backdrop, balloons and the cake table, use two or three colours, and add fairy lights for the evening. In Nivista, choose a birthday look, photograph your room and see it decorated, with a list of what to buy.

What are simple Diwali decoration ideas for home?

Marigold torans at the door, a rangoli at the entrance, diyas along the windows and a string of warm lights are the classic set. Decorate for the evening first. Nivista has Diwali looks you can see in your own room, from simple to grand.

How do I decorate for a griha pravesh or housewarming?

Mango-leaf and marigold torans at the main door, a rangoli at the entrance, flowers and diyas in the living room, and a simple backdrop where guests gather. Choose a housewarming look in Nivista to see it in your new home first.

What is a good baby shower (godh bharai) decoration?

A soft palette — pastels, ivory or yellow — with a floral backdrop, a decorated seat for the mother-to-be and fresh flowers. Keep the setup in one corner or wall. Nivista's baby shower looks can be drawn into your own room.

Does the app tell me what decoration items to buy?

Yes. Every look comes with a decor list — balloons, lights, flowers, drapes and more — with how many of each for the size you chose: a simple corner, the full room or grand. Take it to the market or share it with whoever is shopping.

Can I add names or a message to the decoration?

Yes, for occasions that suit it, such as birthdays and anniversaries. Add a short banner like "Happy Birthday Aarav" or "Riya & Kabir" and it is written into the backdrop of your own room, on a single line.
