How to Decorate Your Flat in Mumbai on a Budget

by Giselle Lobo Writer & Blogger

Owning a house or a flat in Mumbai is a dream for many of us.  Small or large, once we own a house, we stretch our ends to transform it into a beautiful place we can call home. You don’t have to invest in luxurious decor or hire an interior designer to beautify your house if you are looking for affordable alternatives.

Instead, add life to your house with elements that speak of you. Take time to visit the popular street markets, or stores that sell budget makeover accessories. You can find inspiration from the internet, Pinterest, or social media to identify what resonates with your style and personality. With a little creativity and some careful planning, it's possible to decorate your flat in Mumbai on a budget. 

Here’s how you can get started:

  1. Plan Your Decor: Before you start decorating, make a plan. Decide on a color scheme, theme, and style that you want to achieve. This will help you avoid buying items that don't fit with the overall look you're trying to achieve. You can explore the kinds of lights, wall paintings, curtains, and even basic fittings you want to add to the overall look of your house.

  2. Shop Second Hand: If you love having a vintage vibe in your flat, you can add some elements like retro music instruments, framed pictures, and more. Mumbai has a thriving second-hand market where you can find furniture, decor items, and even antiques at a fraction of their original cost. Check out local markets like Chor Bazaar, Crawford Market, and Colaba Causeway for some unique finds.

  3. DIY Decor: DIY decor is a great way to save money and create something unique for your home. Get creative with materials like old newspapers, cardboard boxes, and even wine corks. There are plenty of online tutorials and DIY blogs that can give you inspiration and ideas. You can create your own name plate, wall-hangings, lamps, decorative pots, hand painted bottles, and even recycled art.

  4. Use plants: Adding plants to your decor is an inexpensive way to liven up your space and create a more natural ambiance. Mumbai's tropical climate is perfect for growing plants indoors, and there are many local nurseries where you can find a wide range of plants at reasonable prices. Plants add a fresh green beauty to your interiors, creating a soothing atmosphere for you.

  5. Maximize Storage Space: Small flats in Mumbai can often feel cluttered and cramped, so it's important to maximize storage space. Invest in multi-functional furniture like beds with built-in storage or shelves that double as room dividers. You can also find a ton of options for minimal furniture for TV shelves, book shelves, decor cabinets, and more online, to add a clean, structured flow to your home.

  6. Light it Up: Good lighting can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your home. Add some inexpensive table lamps, string lights, or even candles to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. You can hang fairy lights to add a soothing and relaxing feel to your bedroom. Used glass bottles are also a cool way to insert lights and place them on center tables or bedside tables.

Finally, don't forget to add some personal touches to your decor. Hang up photos, artwork, or souvenirs from your travels to make your space feel like home.
