The Diwali festivities begin with Dhanteras on Monday, November 5. If you love the five-day festival, chances are that you love decorating for it, too. Adding accents, decorations, and festive updates to your home is an easy and fun way to start feeling the Diwali spirit. But between the floating candles, string lights, and everything else, all of the festive decorations can start to add up and it can be tough to fill your space with festive cheer without splurging. Luckily, there’s a way to decorate your home for Diwali without going over budget.
