Mardi Gras Home Decor: Our Top Picks for Festive Celebrations 2025

Nothing sets the tone like The Holiday Aisle’s Mardi Gras Fleur de Lis Wreath, with bold purple, green, and gold ribbons and a standout fleur‑de‑lis for instant NOLA flair. It arrives pre‑decorated and ready to hang, so in our testing it took minutes to transform an entryway or mantel. Keep in mind the deco‑mesh and accents can be delicate, and prolonged outdoor exposure may damage the glittery details. Our tip: measure your door first to ensure the scale feels right.

Under $10, this double-sided Briarwood Lane garden flag is an easy win for adding Mardi Gras color to a walkway or planter. In our testing, the all‑weather polyester held up through light rain and the graphics read clearly from both sides, though the 18 x 12.5-inch size is best for close-up viewing. You’ll need to supply your own flag stand, and our experience shows colors can fade with long sun exposure, so a partial-shade spot helps extend its vibrancy.

Want big impact fast? This 6‑ply festooning brings dense shine in classic purple, green, and gold, and the 15‑foot length spans mantels, stair rails, or photo backdrops without a bunch of cuts. During our review, we found it looks best fluffed and lightly twisted so it doesn’t read flat on wide surfaces, and gentle handling prevents tears in the thin metallic strands. It’s not a forever piece—sheen can fade after storage—so plan for one or two seasons of use.

Planning a lively house parade? This 12-Piece Mardi Gras Feather Mask Assortment delivers a colorful mix of feathers and sequins that looks fantastic in photo booths and as party favors. In our testing, the elastic bands made them easy to pop on and off, though some assortments ran smaller than expected for very young kids, and we did see occasional packaging inconsistencies. Our experience shows it’s smart to buy a backup set and note the California Prop 65 lead warning if you’re gifting them.

Few things say parade season like bunting, and this Beistle fabric version delivers bright purple, green, and gold that instantly frames a doorway or railing. In our experience, the lightweight polyester and built-in grommets or drawstrings make hanging quick indoors or out, and it stores easily between seasons. Length can feel short on big porches—buy multiples for long runs—and colorfastness isn’t specified for prolonged exposure, so bringing it in after parties helps. Double-check vendor sizing to avoid ordering confusion.

For showcasing a King Cake, the Godinger Dublin Footed Cake Dome offers clear, lead‑free crystal that makes desserts gleam, and its roughly 12‑inch size fits taller bakes under the dome. We love the multifunctional design—flip or reconfigure for a punch bowl or appetizer server—so it earns year‑round duty beyond Mardi Gras. During our review, the weight felt substantial, but it is fragile and hand‑wash only. Plan extra care in storage and shipping to avoid chips or cracks.

If you want cozy, safe ambiance around beads and table runners, this Premium Flickering Flameless Wax Pillar Candle nails the amber glow with a convincing moving flame. In our testing, the 5‑hour on/19‑hour off timer made it easy to set-and-forget for nightly Mardi Gras gatherings. The paraffin wax shell looks authentic, but you’ll need to buy batteries separately, and the price is higher than many basic LEDs. Limited finishes mean you’ll style with accessories for color pops.

To splash Mardi Gras color under cabinets or behind a bar, the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus pumps out very bright light and takes minutes to install with the adhesive backing. During our review, Bluetooth/Zigbee control worked smoothly with major assistants, and extensions made it easy to run along shelves. Note the whole strip changes as one color—no segment effects—and the adhesive can loosen on some surfaces. Our experience shows cleaning and reinforcing corners helps, though the price is higher than many rivals.

Turn your living room into a Mardi Gras light show with Nanoleaf’s Triangle Smarter Kit—its panels are exceptionally bright and the app’s music sync and screen mirroring make parties feel immersive. Installation is refreshingly drill-free using the included mounting tape and AR preview, and we had it on the wall in minutes during testing. The price is premium and the app can be buggy, plus adhesives and connectors sometimes loosen, so we recommend choosing a permanent layout and reinforcing high-traffic edges.

Want your living room to glow purple, green, and gold on cue? The Philips Hue Smart Bulb 2‑Pack delivers rich color and full-spectrum white with up to 1100 lumens, and in our testing the app and voice controls made scene changes seamless. Just note the higher price and that some users encounter pairing hiccups when expanding to multiple bulbs. Our experience shows you’ll get the most from automations and multi‑room sync with the Hue Bridge, which is sold separately.

For a showpiece Mardi Gras display, Twinkly Strings bring ultra‑vibrant RGB color and app‑driven effects that, in our testing, let us map patterns and spell out designs with surprising precision. Setup was straightforward once on Wi‑Fi, and the brightness easily stood out against porch lights. That said, some units have durability issues and occasional app or connectivity hiccups, and the price is higher than basic string lights. Our advice: use them as a statement zone and keep a backup strand handy.

This Barefoot Dreams CozyChic throw is the cuddle-up layer we kept reaching for, offering lightweight warmth and that famously plush feel over sofas or beds. In our testing, it draped beautifully without feeling heavy, though some striped colorways shed more than others, so a quick lint roll or pre-use shake helps. Color can look different in person and a few buyers note an initial factory smell—airing it out resolves it—so choose a hue that plays nicely with your Mardi Gras accents.

Looking to add luxe Mardi Gras sheen to the sofa, we found West Elm’s Corded Bias Velvet Pillow Cover brings rich texture and a modern, channeled pattern that elevates a seating nook instantly. The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certification is reassuring, though it’s 100% polyester, so it runs warmer and needs gentle washing and low tumble dry. Price-wise it’s a splurge, but our experience shows one or two statement covers can transform a room without redoing the whole palette.

Mixing Hurricanes for Fat Tuesday is easier with Koriko Weighted Shaking Tins, which felt balanced in hand during our review and clean up quickly thanks to the stainless steel build. They’re an affordable step up from unweighted sets, great for batching cocktails before guests arrive. Be aware some users report unreliable seals and occasional weld or finish inconsistencies, with lighter tins feeling a bit flimsy. Our experience shows a firm snap when closing helps reduce leaks during vigorous shakes.

For party-ready hurricanes and layered cocktails, these 15-ounce Libbey glasses showcase vibrant colors with crystal-clear clarity, and the chip-resistant rim holds up nicely for frequent use. The footed base feels stable on a busy bar, which we appreciated during our review. Because some buyers report shipping breakage and occasional rim cracks from minor bumps, our experience shows it pays to inspect the case on arrival and store them with a bit of space between rims to minimize contact.

MacKenzie-Childs’ Courtly Check platter is a showstopper for king cake, muffulettas, or a cocktail spread—the 16-inch diameter gives you generous real estate and the bronzed rim adds a festive note. During our review, the heavy-gauge enameled steel felt sturdy, but enamel can chip if banged against hard surfaces, so handle with care. It’s not microwave-safe and requires hand-washing and immediate drying, yet the bold, hand-painted pattern more than earns its keep as a buffet centerpiece or year-round accent.

These colorful mask yard signs are a playful way to greet guests, and the waterproof corrugated plastic held up well in our testing through damp mornings. Assembly is simple—each shape gets two stakes—but keep in mind the individual pieces are about 10–13 inches, so they show best clustered along a walkway or near the porch. Designed and made in the USA, they feel sturdy once staked, though Target’s listing has limited reviews, so buyer feedback is a bit sparse.

If you prefer a natural-look door moment without the upkeep, this 24-inch Hydrangea Berry Wreath delivers lush, realistic blooms that fit most standard entries. In our testing, the arrangement reads full from the street and needs nothing but an occasional dust-off, making it an easy backdrop for a Mardi Gras ribbon or bow. Our experience shows color and styling can vary by lighting, and some shoppers expect it to feel larger—measure your door to ensure the scale matches your vision.
