Bring colours to your homethis Holi with Obeetee

Starting from elementary school textbooks talking about its essence of victory of good over evil to wearing our tank pichkaris on our backs like little warriors on a battlefield, Holi has always meant eternal joy that shows in the shades of pink, blue, and yellow on our faces. It is the one time of the year when the homemade gujiyas taste extra sweet, and even though summer hasn’t fully arrived, the water feels warmer. There’s something about Holi—it makes the whole world seem grey beforehand, and it’s only on this day that everything finally acquires its truest colours.

But if there will be spilling colours, that naturally means our beloved home décor is at risk of getting stained. And while these are stains of happiness, that doesn’t mean we won’t protect our interiors—after all, if colours were to be spilled every day, what would make Holi special?

Since our expertise lies in rugs, carpets, and cushions, let us ease this concern for you. With Obeetee, you can find home décor essentials that are not only easy to clean but also long-lasting, ensuring that your home remains just as vibrant as the festival itself. Let’s dive into how you can make the most of your décor this Holi!

Opt for Washable Rugs

A beautifully designed rug can completely transform a space, but during Holi, it might also bear the brunt of all the colour, water, and revelry. This is why our selection of washable rugs is perfect for the occasion. These rugs are crafted with durability in mind, so even after the colours settle and the celebrations wind down, a simple wash can restore them to their original beauty. Look for designs with rich textures and vibrant hues—these will not only hide minor stains better but will also blend seamlessly with the colourful spirit of the festival. You could take a look at the Alzu Handloom Woollen and Cotton Dhurrie, as it is a handloom striped colourful rug which can be easily washed, and can lend perfectly well with any minor colour spill too. 

Outdoor Rugs for the Perfect Holi Setup

If you’re planning an outdoor celebration, consider laying down outdoor-friendly rugs. These are designed to withstand dust, moisture, and of course, colour play! They make your outdoor setting feel more inviting, whether you’re setting up a cozy seating area on your terrace or a picnic-style arrangement in your garden. Plus, they add an element of style to your Holi décor while keeping your feet comfortable. For this, you could opt for the Bahrud Hand Woven Woollen Kilim. Its multicolored canvas with Mocha brown being the superior shade, can easily hide any colour spills, and withstand the traffic in your outdoor space too. Perfect, isn’t it?

Protect with Cushion Covers

Cushions instantly uplift the ambiance of a room, but they are also prone to staining during festivities. Instead of worrying about damage, switch to cushion covers that are both stylish and easy to maintain. Obeetee’s range of cushion covers features exquisite craftsmanship and durable fabrics that can withstand an occasional splash of colour. For a smart approach, opt for darker shades or patterns that naturally camouflage minor stains. You could either go for the Ancestral Digital Printed Cotton Cushion Cover or even the Bukhara Cotton Slub Embroidered Cushion Cover. Both these cushion covers are durable, easily washable, and can merge well with all the colours of your home. 

Use Decorative Throws as a Shield

Throws and covers are your best friends during Holi, acting as a stylish yet functional layer of protection for your sofas and seating areas. Drape them over couches and chairs to prevent direct exposure to colours. When the celebration is over, simply toss them in the wash, and they’re as good as new! Obeetee’s handwoven throws are not only protective but also add a touch of warmth and luxury to your living spaces. Something like the Zariwoven Throw Blanket would be great right?

Post-Holi Cleaning Made Easy

While celebrations leave behind beautiful memories, they also leave a bit of a mess. Here are a few quick tips to clean your home post-Holi:

• Dry clean or vacuum your rugs before attempting a wet wash to remove loose color powder.

• Use mild detergent and cold water to clean cushion covers and throws, avoiding harsh scrubbing.

• For deep-cleaning carpets, use a gentle shampoo specifically designed for handwoven rugs to maintain their texture and color.
