Hey there! Let’s discuss something sacred, stylish, and close to the heart — pooja rooms. Now, if you’ve been scrolling Pinterest boards or Instagram reels to figure out how to make your pooja corner both “aesthetic” and traditional, you’re in the right place. I’m Spriha Jain, and as an interior designer in Kandivali, I’ve helped countless homeowners find that perfect balance between spiritual vibes and modern design.
Whether in a cozy 1BHK or a spacious duplex, your pooja space deserves more than just a dusty shelf and an old bell. If you’re hunting for pooja room interior design ideas that are traditional at heart but modern in vibe, you’ll love this read.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
Keep It Sacred but Stylish
The key is simple: honor tradition, but don’t be afraid to simplify it. Gone are the days when a pooja room had to be bulky and dark. Today, a carved wooden panel combined with a clean, white wall can give you all the feels without looking like it came from your great-grandpa’s haveli. And hey, bonus tip—use soft colors and add a bit of greenery, and just like that… your peaceful pooja corner is ready!

Mix It Up—Materials Matter!
This is where I like to have a little fun with textures. Who says pooja rooms must only be made of wood? Let’s get bold:
- A backlit marble panel with Om motifs? YES.
- Glass doors with delicate gold handles? Double yes.
- And how about brass bells with matte-finish cabinets? We’re talking timeless meets trendy.
Mixing materials is an art form, and our team knows exactly how to pull it off. We’ve done it for homes big and small—and let me tell you—it never fails to impress.
Light It Right, Feel Divine
Lighting can turn a basic mandir into a breathtaking one. We usually go with:
- Hidden LED strip lights for that warm spiritual glow
- Pendant lights for a stylish edge
- And if you love drama (like we do), backlit Jaali panels
Trust me, lighting is not where you want to compromise!
Blend It Into Your Home Like a Pro
Let’s face it—not everyone has a separate room to dedicate. And that’s okay! I’ve designed wall-mounted mandirs, pooja units under staircases, corner mandirs, and even sliding-door pooja cabinets that fit snugly into living rooms, passageways, and sometimes even kitchens (yes, really!).
Design is all about function and meeting emotion, and I love helping clients create spaces that feel sacred and smart.

Storage Without the Bulk
We love the functionality that looks good. Think:
- Slim drawers for storing incense and pooja items
- Hidden shelves behind sleek cabinet doors
- Floating shelves that double as decor
Yes, your pooja unit can be spiritual and witty.
Personal Touches? Always.
This is your space. Make it yours. Add a framed quote, a diya gifted by a loved one, or even a small artwork that speaks to your soul. Our team loves layering spaces with emotional elements—what makes every pooja room feel exceptional.
