With the festival of lights just around the corner and the scramble for Diwali gifts and decor at its peak, IKEA’s new AROMATISK collection — designed with the celebration in mind — couldn’t have come at a better time. But the collection doesn’t just offer beautiful, instantly likable designs; it extends further, with each piece taking you on a journey inspired by traditional Indian arts and crafts.

From brass peacock potpourri holders, tealight holders, and floral-patterned pillows to elegant serving bowls in striking colors and even an endearing garland made of dried flowers, this vibrant collection really has it all. Yes, these are the best IKEA products for presenting scrumptious mithai, drinks, and festive dishes.

In fact, they might even inspire you to host a larger gathering — each item has the power to become a conversation starter. Use the colorful table runners as the ideal backdrop for candleholders and bowls. Place your most aromatic candles (think Indian scents like sandalwood, cardamom, and patchouli) inside the tealight holders. Let the vases showcase the best of fall foliage, and use the floor pillows to let guests relax and stretch out in comfort.
