Ramadan is a special time of reflection and renewal. The home represents a sanctuary for spiritual practice and a sacred place to reconnect. With the arrival of the Holy Month brings essential preparations, getting ready to welcome guests and share special moments with loved ones. Here’s how to embrace and infuse this magical time throughout your home with beautiful décor pieces.
Light the Way
Creating a soft mood lighting with candles and lanterns is essential during Ramadan preparations. Naturally mood enhancing, they suggest a peaceful atmosphere, ready for spiritual times of reflection. As darkness falls, lights can also be used to enhance festivities, as guests celebrate the joyful period.
Create Arty Bouquets
Florals are a beautiful way to redress the home, adding a fresh colour palette and layer of vibrancy. Founder of UrArtU, Gosha uses florals, fruits and vegetables to curate unique artistic visions. Finding the perfect vase to house your blooms can be tricky, but Gosha suggests mixing varied textures and shapes to add interest. Keeping bowls of fresh fruit is a nice touch so that guests can conveniently help themselves.
Add Glimmers of Gold
Whether curating a console table or preparing the majlis, gold is intrinsic to Ramadan decorations. Subtle touches like the shimmering moon on top of Lladro ornaments or the warm glow from Reflections crystal detailing creates a majestic setting. As the sun goes down the gold pieces will dazzle, creating a magical moment to break the fast.
Scent the Space
The unmistakable oudy scent of the Mabkhara resonates powerfully with Ramadan. Welcome guests with the rich allure of incense, setting the scene for special times ahead. Fragrance is intrinsically linked to memory; it attaches us to a place and reminds us of how we felt during these joyful moments. Focus on the hallway, to ignite senses as soon as guests walk through the door.
