Diwali at the office usually means a few diyas, some fairy lights and a box of mithai on someone's desk. A rangoli changes the mood of the whole floor, though. The best part is you don't need to be an artist. From Lakshmi charan to peacock feather designs, check out 5 easy Diwali rangoli ideas for office that look great and take very little time.

5 Easy Rangoli Designs for Your Workplace

Here are 5 easy and latest ideas, from lotus to peacock feather rangoli, that will brighten your workplace.

1. Lakshmi Charan Rangoli

Honestly, this is the one that suits an office best. The tiny footprints of Goddess Lakshmi are drawn in white with a red outline, and a pink lotus sits at each end with green leaves and mustard curls around it. The shape is long and narrow, so it fits a reception walkway or the spot right outside the main door without blocking anyone's path.

It looks fancy but it's easier than it seems. 

2. Flower Rangoli with Diyas

This one is pure festive energy. Eight petals, each in a different colour, with a bright yellow centre and a white scroll pattern inside every petal. Small diyas placed around it make it glow, especially in the evening.

It works well in a common area or the middle of a team floor, where everyone walks past. It takes a little time because of the colour filling, but it's a great one to split among colleagues. 

3. Blue Flower Rangoli

Most people go for pink and orange, so a deep blue rangoli really stands out. Here the blue petals have a swirly texture, and the inner petals are purple and white with a golden centre. Green leaves peek out from the top and bottom.

It looks premium, which is why it suits the area near a reception desk or a conference room entrance. 

4. Pink Lotus Rangoli

Simple, pretty and very beginner friendly. Three pink lotuses sit on a white circle, with green leaves, a row of green dots and orange scrolls going around the edge.

This one is perfect if you want a rangoli-making session with your team. 

5. Peacock Feather Rangoli

Now for the showstopper. Blue, teal, green and gold feathers layered on top of each other, with diyas lined up on both sides. This one is my favourite of the lot. It looks like a piece of art, not just a floor decoration.

It's the trickiest of the five, so plan it as the main attraction for your lobby or main entrance. Start early in the day and keep the design big.

Conclusion

Check with the admin or facilities team first, so nobody ends up sweeping your hard work away. Use chalk to sketch the outline, then fill in the colours. Keep a small brush or a dry paintbrush handy to fix mistakes. And if your office floor is shiny, keep the design away from high-traffic spots, so colleagues don't walk through it. Placing diyas at the end makes it look so much better.

Choose a design that is easy for you to make not something that looks good on Instagram or Pinterest.
