Let’s face it, Mumbai and winters? They don't exactly go hand in hand... The winter chills are replaced by warm breezes, and snowflakes are swapped for fairy lights. But Christmas is all about warmth, joy, and spending time with your family, and there is no better place to be it than in your own home. Here, we are more likely to hear jingles of autorickshaws than sleigh bells, but even in this bustling heart of Mumbai, you can create a cozy, snowy retreat that feels like a slice of North Pole. Let's bring the festive spirit to life, but of course Mumbai style.
1. The tree that stands tall:
Space is precious in Mumbai, so think smart with your Christmas tree. Opt for a slim, vertical, or a wall-mounted one. Add your personality by adorning it with charms that reflect you or Mumbai.
2. Balcony bliss:
Fairy lights are non-negotiable. If there is one thing that Mumbaikars love, its drama. So wrap strings of fairy lights around your balcony railing, windows, or even your favourite potted plants.
3. Cozy corners for family moments:
What’s Christmas without cozy corners? Setup a space with fluffy cushions, plaid throws and small side table for hot cocoa or mulled wine. A home is all about family and warmth, so make the corner the spot for stories, laughter and light-night carol sessions.
4. Candles that smell like Christmas:
What's a winter wonderland without the fragrance of vanilla, cinnamon and pine? Light up some scented candles or festive diffusers to spread the cheer through your home.
5. Plates that wow:
Start with bold, festive table runners—think deep reds, greens, and golds. For modern twists, consider metallic finishes. What's a Christmas table without mouthwatering spread to match the decor? Fill your table with the classics roasted vegetables, herbes mashed potatoes, plum cake, gingerbread cookies. You can pair these with warm mulled wine or even a refreshing cranberry mojito for a festive toast.
Conclusion:
Transforming your Mumbai home into a Christmas wonderland isn't just about snow. Its about bringing the glee of Christmas to life. So, let the decor set the mood, the food spread the joy, and the company of loved ones make it all magical. At Sambhav, we’re here to make your house a home, and this Christmas, we hope it’s a home filled with happiness and cheer. Merry Christmas.
