Wooden charm

Incorporate some wooden elements or decor to your puja room to give it a unique rustic edge and a cosy feel. Although it is uncommon to use wood in puja rooms, wood can have a very natural grounding earthy energy to it that does well to create a serene environment for the puja room. 

Employ mood lighting

Employ mood lighting to create a suitable atmosphere in the puja room. For example, the mood lighting shown here casts a beautiful shadow that spirals around the ceiling creating a beautiful effect that compliments the circular mandala used as a backdrop for the altar.

Decorate the entrance

To enhance and make your puja room more vibrant, try decorating the entrance. For example, you can stick religious symbols and pictures on the door to your puja room or hang a beaded curtain to create an appealing entrance. 

Stained glass

Although stained glass is typically seen in churches rather than in temples, we think it would look great in a puja room. Pictured here, we can see a stained glass attached to the ceiling of the puja room and beautifully illuminated with lights, creating a warm glow that is sure to make you feel at peace. 

Brass embellishments

Puja rooms are usually decorated with brass embellishments like oil lamps and bells. To give the puja room a slightly different Indian feel, design it with unique brass decor pieces.

Colourful LED lighting

For a contemporary looking puja room, consider using colourful LED lighting to brighten up the space. This is especially effective if you have a plain looking puja room. 

Paint it bright

One of the easiest ways to add new life to your puja room is to give it a fresh coat of paint. The cheery sunny yellow colour used here is perfect for creating a bright atmosphere with positive vibes and high energy.  

Candle holders

For a more modern looking puja room, employ candle holders instead of using oil lamps. They are also less messy and can give your puja room a unique look. You can mix and match different styles of candle holders to create an eclectic look. 

Decorate the floor

Traditionally, puja rooms always had some kind of floor decoration or rangoli. Today, most Indian homes leave this out, but we think it's a real shame as it adds to the authentic puja room experience.
