Here are some of the decorations you can use to decorate your house with;

Ganesh Idol
The most important part of Ganpathi decorations, especially at home. A lord Ganesha statue is supposed to bring prosperity and happiness into your home as well as your place of business.

Pooja Mandap
For housing a Ganesha statue, one must also have a pooja mandap. The pooja mandap is a wooden temple and is best suited for Vinayaka Chavithi. It can be hung on a wall.

Banana leaves
The mandap can be prepapred with fresh banana leaves along with coconut and Ashoka tree leaves among other things. The banana is considered scared in Hindu rituals.

Diyas
Many people will also light Akhand Diya during Ganesh Chaturthi. The lamp is made of brass and crystals and can be kept near the statue and the pooja mandap because it doesn't heat up despite staying lit for hours.

Incense stick
Incense sticks are used as well and have some pleasant fragrances like sandalwood, and other herbal scents.

Modak
Ganesh Chaturthi is considered incomplete without modak. It is often prepared in homes and offered as a prasad to lord Ganesh.

These are only a few of the things people can use in their homes to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi.
