6 Popular interior trends for your mandir

Temples in Indian homes aren't just a space to pray but also a source of constant positive energy. Thus, it is no surprise if you are browsing through hundreds of prayer rooms to see what would go great with your interior theme. Luckily, you have come to the right place. At Stone World, we don’t treat home temple designs as an additional part when we are suggesting house designs. We make sure that the temple design perfectly fits into the house’s interior aesthetic. And that’s why we never go for template mandirs for homes. We know every home has its own vibe, and hence we personalize modern home temple designs.

In this blog, we bring some of our favorite Hindu temple designs for home. These come with different styles and aesthetics to let you choose your kind of prayer space. So what are you waiting for? Read through our handpicked mandir layouts and choose the one that suits you the most.

Corner Mandir With Jaali Panels

Jaali panels have become a trendy mandir design. With the beauty that it provides to Mandir and a peek-a-boo effect, it is highly preferred by Interior designers. While this design fits seamlessly into any living area, it is ideal for interiors that have a wood-finished TV unit. Since the lattice looks best in laminate or wood, the white-and-wood pooja units are high in aesthetic value. The drawers can also be used to stock pooja samagri.

Sleek pooja room in an open living area

Most people think that a pooja unit might not look aesthetic in their modern living room with Scandinavian design and sleek furniture. Well, they need to reconsider their thoughts! You can turn a wall niche into a neat mandir with a base unit and pretty lights to enhance the beauty. Also, ensure that you stick to clean lines and choose neutral tones so that it compliments the contemporary design aesthetic.

Traditional wooden pooja unit

You can utilize living room nooks to set up your home temple. Get your hands on an ornate, traditionally carved pooja unit in wood or marble to adorn this space. Additionally, do not skip to highlight this area with focal lighting and lovely bells suspended from the wall over the unit. You will for sure have compliments pouring in from friends and family for this one.

Detailed Decor Style

A pooja niche that’s minimal and modest is suitable for any kind of living room aesthetic. However, if you wish to place your mandir against a plain wall, consider adding a veneer panel to it as the background setting with a complimenting base unit to create an interesting visual. You can complete the look by adding shimmering lamps on either side and light candles around the unit to add to the effect.

Pooja room with Multiple materials

With a perfect blend of materials, your pooja room can have it all — marble flooring, a carved wooden design for a backdrop, and metal lamps and bells. You can subtly add an ‘om’ in the background, and you can have it neatly placed, almost camouflaged amongst the intricacies of the panel. Also, the purity of white in the room easily sets the mood for prayer.

Compact Mandir on the Wall

More often than not, we all have at least one wall in the living area that is not being utilized and has been left plain and boring. This is a great spot and has a great potential to place for your deity. The most wonderful design is when you keep it a simple, low-height base unit with drawers and brass bells that add glitter to this otherwise neglected corner.

There are multiple ways to amp up your Mandir space with little details. But the essence of it has to be brought up by you, by regular maintenance and neat arrangements. Adding too much to your mandir can look chaotic, so it's suggested to keep the mandir minimalistic.
