Mardi Gras is all about vibrant colors, thrills, and imagination. Whether you’re throwing a bash or just sprucing up your place, I’ve got some amazing decorating ideas just for you.
1. Colorful Rings
A Mardi Gras ring is a flexible decor piece. Whether on your door or as a table centerpiece, these rings, decked out with beads and ribbons, shout festivity.
2. Upscale Table Settings
Wrap up your dining experience with tableware in Mardi Gras colors. I think using gold utensils and green glassware ups the entire table setting.
3. Celebratory Balloon Canopies
Nothing screams ‘party’ like a balloon canopy! I often tell clients to get purple, green, and gold balloon canopies for show-stopping entrances.
4. Unique Table Runners
A vibrant table runner is an easy way to bring in the Mardi Gras vibe. I enjoy using velvet or satin in traditional colors for that upscale feel.
5. Shimmering Light Fixtures
Brighten your lighting with Mardi Gras-themed light fixtures. I often tell clients to add beads and small baubles for extra shimmer.
6. Enchanting Outdoor Displays
Take the party outside with porch and garden decorations. Hanging beads and lanterns from trees makes a welcoming Mardi Gras vibe.
7. Accent Sunshades
Decorated sunshades bring a bit of New Orleans to your home. I say hang them upside down for a unique roof decoration.
8. Fun Bead Trees
If you have a houseplant or small tree, dress it up with Mardi Gras beads. This simple touch can turn a plain plant into a festive highlight.
9. Whimsical Roof Lanterns
Hanging paper lanterns in Mardi Gras colors makes an enchanting overhead display. Clients love how it lifts the entire room’s vibe with little work.
10. Animated Stranded Beads
Stranded beads in Mardi Gras colors make a fun room divider. They’re a hit with my workshop fans who love giving their spaces some movement and sparkle.
11. Spectacular Plume Showpieces
Plumes are a classy and budget-friendly way to make things feel festive. I adore arranging purple, gold, and green plumes in soaring vases for my clients—it’s an instant head-turner.
12. Sparkling String Beams
String beams in Mardi Gras colors can turn any space into a magical spot. I always say to put them around windows or mantels for a warm, inviting glow.
13. Jazz Instruments as Decor
Put jazz instruments like trumpets or saxophones into your decor for a fun twist. It’s a hit with clients who want a nod to New Orleans’ music.
14. Vibrant Table Centerpieces
Make a centerpiece with face coverings, beads, and candles for a layered look. I enjoy playing with heights and textures for a dynamic display.
15. Chic Face Covering Wall Decor
Turn plain walls into a festival of color by hanging decorative face coverings. In my downtown loft, I enjoy using face coverings with plumes and shimmer for a hint of playfulness.
16. Stylish Cloth Clasps
Add flair to your table settings with themed cloth clasps. In my studio, I often make custom pieces using beads and mini face coverings for a personal touch.
17. Grand Crown Displays
Crown decorations are a regal touch to any Mardi Gras setup. Whether on a shelf or as part of a centerpiece, they bring a sense of royalty to the parties.
18. Artistic Window Stickers
Window stickers in Mardi Gras designs are an easy way to spread the theme all over your home. They’re a hit in my workshops because they’re easy to use.
