Here is how you can make the most of the space available to you in apartments to create a pooja room or a mandir space

Life in urban spaces, for many, means having to adopt clever and innovative interior design to make the most of a relatively tiny space. Apartment living may not usually offer a dedicated room for each area you want to carve out into your house, and the pooja room is one such space. While you may not be able to have a grand pooja room, you can definitely have a dedicated space that can emulate the same grandiosity. In this article, you will find some great tips to make the most of the room you do have for pooja space design.

 

 

Importance of Pooja Room

Pooja rooms can be both a religious and spiritual space for people. Whether you have a large or a small pooja room or just a simple small temple design, the size doesn't matter. Create a haven from the hustle-bustle of the world in your urban home with these small space small pooja room designs in apartments. The interior design and home décor can ultimately enhance the ambience of the pooja area.

 

1. Corner Pooja Room

Often the corners in our homes go unutilised. To make the most of the little space available in apartments, consider incorporating a small temple design in one of the corners of the house. With corner designs, there may be a hindrance from one of the walls, restricting movement. An excellent way to avoid it is by backing the small puja room design against both walls making an L-shape. Set it apart by opting for a jaali backdrop and an overhead spotlight. Create a pedestal by choosing a design with two or three steps. The lower ones can easily double up as storage.

 

2. Shelf Pooja Room

A great space-saving small pooja room design for apartments is to make use of the vertical space available by installing open shelving and turning that into a small temple design. Alternatively, you could install a ready-made mandir on the wall and flank it with shelves for the framed likeness of the deities, additional storage, etc. Ensure that the shelf is a little lower than eye level for easy access.

3. Creating a Wall Niche for an Open Pooja Room

You can carve out a niche in your home by converting a wall into a small space for small pooja room designs in apartments. Set the mandir area apart by choosing wall panels as the backdrop. Opt for wood for a classic look or marble for a luxe touch. Add a floating base that doubles up as storage for all the pooja paraphernalia for a visually lighter look.


 

4. Cupboard Pooja Room

In many cases, there may not be enough room for even a small pooja room. One way to tackle this problem is by clearing out a shelf or two from a cupboard or cabinets in the house and converting them into a mandir space. To spruce it up, you can add recessed lighting in the cabinet, refinish the inside with paint, laminate or wallpaper, and lay down a plush fabric like silk on the shelf. This is a great small pooja room idea since it is easily portable, and you do not need to add any new fixtures to your home.

5. Pooja Room in the Hall, Living Room

Given that the living room is the largest open space in most homes, you can fit a pooja space in the living room. Consider adding a jaali partition to turn it into a more private space. You can either go for a ready-made mandir or create custom small pooja room designs. In the case of the latter, you can add a stunning backdrop to create a focal point— a jali, embossed tin tiles, a backlit om sign, and decorative panels are just a few of the many options. Suspend long brass lamps on either side of the mandir for a traditional look.

6. Pooja Room on a Wall

A traditional room may not be possible in many instances, even if it is a small pooja room design. As an alternative, instead of designing one that requires a base, consider a pooja space on the wall. Opt for picture frames or paintings of deities instead of idols that you can mount on walls. This is a great way to keep the floor space empty and make use of the ample vertical space available.


 

7. Pooja Room in the Kitchen

The kitchen is another room where you could easily incorporate small pooja room ideas. Whether you wall, mount a portable mandir, choose an open shelf or dedicate a corner to the pooja space, remember, per Vastu, the mandir should ideally be installed in the northeast or Ishan corner. But if that isn't possible, ensure that the puja room or the mandir isn't south-facing.
