Nahel Selo, creative director at Sedar Global, shares his décor tips.
Tip 1: Make a good first impression
Spruce up your entrance to set the mood. Start with a prop style chair or bench with festive cushions and add a console table with a metal tray loaded with dates. Adding a diffuser or incense burner and floor lanterns will create a festive atmosphere.
Tip 2: Ramadan tents and majlis-style seating
You can craft a simple tepee in your garden using sheer or linen curtains or, if budget allows, add a pergola or awning installation. Create communal areas using low seating arrangements such as ottomans or poufs teamed with floor cushions laid over a rug.
Tip 3: Add Arabesque touches
Options include temporary décor such as Arabic calligraphy-inspired style brass accessories, mirrored objects or even geometric print fabrics.
Mix up interiors with traditional flashes of gold or brass contrasted with trending palettes of turquoise, royal blues or dusky pinks. Selo commented: 'Adding metallics, specifically gold and brass, is not only a nod to tradition but also essential to create a festive mood. For 2025 worn brass and golds give an earthy and contemporary finish.'
Tip 4: Creative tablescapes
Take your Eid Al-Fitr meal to the next level by sprucing up the dining table with creative tablescaping. From incorporating metallic, intricate arabesque or lunar pattern accents through cutlery, napkin rings and dinnerware sets, to jute placements, table runners, mini lanterns and dry or fresh florals, thoughtful accents can transform your table.
'Atmospheric lighting is key,' Selo added. 'Battery-operated fairy lights, tall lanterns and tea lights … are a cost-effective décor touch to set the mood.'
