Make Your Home a Rocking Party Den

Throwing party in style does not have to be an extravagant affair at all. What matters is our attitude and creativity to add that extra zing and flavor that just creates that magical touch !!

Here are my ideas and few party themes which I prefer, these are simple, yet stylish and every time you throw a party for your guests, they will be astonished to see a plethora of creativity and an exclusive character each time to your home... As it is correctly said- Variety adds spice to your life, so I believe in being creative, and to create a magical space for my different kind of guests.


Oh yes finally an exciting update- this blog won the First Prize in the Fab TGIF Blogging contest !!!

Bollywood Theme - For Funky Filmy Bollywood lover friends-

Bollywood Retro Posters as Wall Art
This would be my most favorite, and funkiest party theme, where there are large possibilities for variations and adding elements of retro, modern, chic and most important colorful decor to my living room. Simple chic cushions can do wonder each time. How about a couch with cushions with retro Bollywood digital prints. The mood will be already set among friends to hang out and watch a favorite movie. I would throw some large cushions on floor. The wall decor would definitely have a collage of retro Bollywood posters such as Fab furnish seven rays or graffiti collection.

A variety of chic digital printed cushions with Bollywood theme!!


Undoubtedly, the welcome starter would have our favorite flavored popcorns and chatpata kurkure in my preferred Fab Furnish Tricon serving bowls. Room Corners with some hidden fairy lights can add a mysterious glow and unusual lighting effect.




When its Bollywood, I prefer Indian or Turkish fusion food as main course and who can forget the fizzy cola drinks. I would definitely prefer most colorful serve wares. Fab Furnish has an amazing collection ranging from shot glasses, colorful wine glasses, to a variety of colorful dinner wares.






Buddha Lounge Theme -for Chilled out friends who like to relax and converse

Some times we need to "chillax" with friends. A perfect cocktail or mocktail party, lounge music, candle lights and of course a cool rustic decor is very important for that perfect ambience. It does not require that we completely change the color of our walls or do major changes, but some additions or changes in the wall pieces with cool Buddhha images or figurines would set the mood.

Candle holders, pastel pallete cushions and other elements would add the perfect set up for our party. Floating candles add that serene effect, I had thrown such party once in the UK and asked all my guests to light up a tea light candle, make a wish and then float that in the center piece bowl I had in my coffee table. My guests were very pleased and told me that it was kind of very therapeutic for them to make a wish and signify it in a candle, a candle which is glowing in midst of cool water with flower petals.





When the mood is already set, here we need serving wares made of glass and colored glasses. Keeping the decor in a rusty, earthy or soothing palette would add that taste and class to the decor. Trust me, friends will do nothing but chillaxing. 

Well well, who knows it might set a perfect mood for two friends to come closer and even propose each other because in your perfect ambience, they are sure to be in a great mood and mindset. You might also want to invite that special person for whom you have feelings...






The choice of food would be Chinese and Thai cuisine, and we are all sorted for a memorable party.






Indian Ethnic theme

We Indians love to celebrate our special days and festivals with a zing of ethnic decor, and this could be a best party theme, a card party, Diwali party, Holi party, there is no season where you cannot party and experiment as per the occasion. I would use ethnic theme with Indian tribal paintings as decor elements to give the authentic feel. A traditional Kashmiri rug such as Fab Furnish Obsessions floral carpet would be perfect. The decor would of course comprise of candles, lights diyas and Indian wall art. Fab Furnish has a plethora of collection from Tungs, and Kaarigar collection. The choice is endless, from warli paintings or mughal art, From Jamini Roy paintings to embroidered cushions, all makes a statement. 





Undoubtedly, for starters, Indian mouthwatering chaat is the best option followed by Rajwadi food and authentic Bengali sweets. Wanna be a little more 'desi' ? Please add a dash of 'Banarasi Pan'. The food when served in Fab Furnish Craftwork, Kaushalam or cultural concepts collection, will look at its best !!







The World is My Stage Theme- for the Globe Trotters.

Personally I am a globe trotter and have bunch of friends who love travelling, we feel we truly are global citizens. A party can be only engaging and interesting to people like us, when we talk about our travelogues, share our adventurous experiences and share the fun of being global travelers. This exclusive party theme can be presented very interestingly, and mostly the souvenirs bought during our travels add an essential element as decor. 

Truly Cosmopolitan theme and our decor should have elements of travelling and world famous places. From wall clocks to digitally printed cushions, from wall art to even lamp shades, the choice is endless and our guests can have an 'Out of this world' experience. There cannot be a great idea other than having amazing world famous cities themed decal stickers at home which are easily removable to create a chic decor at home. This not only adds class to our decor but enhances the feel of the party as well.  Our guests would feel very special when they get this global feel. A great idea will be to run a show of our travel photographs in digital picture frames or our wall mounted televisions. Jazz or saxophone music will just be perfect.


I would prefer accessories and serve ware bought from different places, shot glasses from various places can be best utilized as well.
Fab Furnish has an amazing collection such as Lazarro collection and exclusive dinner sets which will look perfect to impress our guests, and  table linen from Swayam collection would just give that French Riviera feeling . Food will be of course on world theme and I would prefer Italian pizzas and pastas, Mexican, and American Fried Chicken. A surprise such as French chocolate mousse as desert will cool everyone and will certainly make this party a stylish affair to remember. 







My color speaks for me! contemporary theme

How can we forget the 'bold and the beautiful', the 'famous and the favorite' Ladies' kitty parties. What we just need  here is a contemporary bespoke decor. Contemporary decor is all about Sophistication, open spaces, and a particular color scheme. 

From a sophisticated beige and gold theme, to my favorite Turquoise, the choice is just unimaginable. Its about our personal taste and choice, and here we get the opportunity to speak about ourselves and our taste. A uniformity in color scheme basically adds a soothing palette to our party theme and also dress codes can be decided on that. 

Colors speak for themselves and governs the mood indirectly. There will be sensuality and vibrancy on a red and black theme, but a chilled out oceanic calmness when aquas and blues are around us. Take a look at the decor and the food choices which can be incorporated for that serene ambience. I am going with my favorite Turquoise... 






Nowadays one can easily add their color scheme to the food and drinks being served and also the crockery used. We can experiment with endless combination of colors, and we can change our choice of color palette perhaps with the season  of the year. 





"Happy Partying"
