5 Ideas To Design A Beautiful Pooja Room
Most people have a pooja room, mantap or mandir in their homes. And some of them have unique traditional Indian style pooja rooms. This room usually calls for a minimal look, but you can go for a maximal look too — ensuring there’s still a tranquil, relaxing ambience. If that confuses you, don’t worry. Below are some interesting pooja room design ideas, to help you set up your ideal room of worship.
Neutral Colours for a Modern Look
If you have a living room with a modern design, it may have white, cream or any other neutral colour walls and sleek furniture. Your pooja room does not have to go against this look, it can blend into your modern living room design! Turn a wall niche into a small mandir, with a base unit. Use neutral colours for the wall, doors, roof and everything in the pooja room. Beautify it some more with minimal yet beautiful lights and lamps. And voila!
Jaali Panels for Aesthetic Value
Using jaali panels or jaali screens creates a pooja room that fits seamlessly into any living room. And it is ideal for people who have a wood-finish TV unit. For some added aesthetic value, look for pooja room designs in wood and go for colours like white for the drawers — where you store pooja items. You could have a serene semi-covered pooja area surrounded by jali screens and amp up the look of your living room! Jaali doors for the room also are a great idea.
Wooden Pooja Mandir
When space shortage is an issue, the neat corners of your living room can work for your pooja rituals — with a wooden pooja mandir. Get an ornate and traditionally carved wooden pooja mantap. Deck it up with pretty focus lights, diyas and tiny bells, or bells suspended from the wall over the unit.
Glass Pooja Room
How about an elegant glass pooja room? Your pooja ghar can have double glass doors with a frosted glass backdrop and religious Sanskrit writings on the glass panel. The room will look modern and also let in sunlight or artificial light. The glass partitions will give it a separate space without cutting it off from the rest of the room. And your guests will be able to appreciate the beauty of the pooja room’s interiors, from the exterior!
A Mix of Marble and Wood
If you’d like to use a mix of materials, the best ones that are considered auspicious for pooja rooms are marble and wood. Go for white marble flooring with a carved wooden design backdrop. Add some gold detailing for some more effect, along with metal lamps and bells. And create your pretty pooja room!
