Sedar Global expands UAE presence with new store at Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi
Sedar Global, the region's leading specialist in wall coverings, window treatments, and soft furnishings with over 135 years of heritage, has opened a new retail store at Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi. This marks Sedar's fifth store in Abu Dhabi and twelfth across the UAE. This expansion brings Sedar's global footprint to over 30 stores across 11 countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar, Oman, and Sudan, as well as an international design hub in Northern Italy and retail presence in Canada. The opening comes at a time when the regional interiors market is thriving. With the UAE construction market estimated at $42.75 billion in 2025, and expected to reach $52.66 billion by 2030, the soft furnishings market in Dubai and the broader UAE is similarly projected to experience robust growth, driven by rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanisation, and a growing preference for sustainable, smart, and high-quality interior solutions. Sedar's strategic expansion is designed to meet this demand. Rami Selo, COO of Sedar Global, said: 'We're proud to expand our footprint in Abu Dhabi, one of our most dynamic markets. Dalma Mall is part of the Abu Dhabi 2030 strategic development plan, and we've seen a significant rise in demand from the rapidly growing, multicultural population surrounding the mall.' He continued: 'Our mall-based concept has been well received in Dubai, and this new store aims to offer Abu Dhabi consumers and interior designers a similar, accessible shopping destination that brings together high-quality décor solutions and expert service.' The Dalma Mall store offers a fresh, immersive shopping experience tailored to modern consumer preferences. In addition to Sedar's extensive range of blinds, curtains, wallpapers, folding doors, and awnings, the store features the brand's newly launched Upholstery Studio and interactive digital screens. This latest store follows Sedar's rebrand rollout, which has revitalised more than 15 locations since 2022. Sedar Global continues to collaborate with some of the most prestigious names in design, offering exclusive collections from Armani/Casa, Roberto Cavalli, Versace Home, Missoni Home, Swarovski, and Jannelli & Volpi, as well as sought-after sub-brands like Marcopolo, Amazona, Fujikawa, York Weave, and Antartica. Alongside its physical store expansion, Sedar Global has invested heavily in its digital ecosystem. The brand's revamped e-commerce platform now offers a fully immersive virtual store experience, designed to replicate the in-store journey from the comfort of home. Since 1892, Sedar Global has remained a family-owned business renowned for craftsmanship, innovation, and customer-centricity. Their portfolio includes millions of homes and major projects with royalty, airlines, hospitality groups, and government institutions.

Party décor tips for your Eid Al-Fitr celebration
DUBAI: With Eid Al-Fitr on the horizon, you may be planning to host friends and family to mark the festivities. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ 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.'

Five home decoration tips for Ramadan 2025 in the UAE
Among many homes across the region, this spiritual month is a time for remembering and reviving traditional routines. It is also the season to spend quality time in the home with loved ones and friends. Set the scene throughout your interior this Ramadan creating a festive feel. Whether it be atmospheric lighting, reimaging an indoor or outdoor majlis or adding arabesque touches to interior or table scaping. Sedar Global Interiors explore how to work the top Ramadan décor touches trending for 2025. Sedar Global have been catering to the window and wall décor industry for over 130 years, and are one of the world's leading companies in manufacture, design and installation of window, and wall décor. Tip 1 - Make a first impression Spruce up your entrance to set the mood straightaway for visiting guests. Start with a prop style chair or bench with festive inspired cushions such as Sedar's Swarovski inspired crescent moon motif design or The Metropolitan Museum of Art x Sedar Global collaborative pillows including collections incorporating prints from famous artworks reflecting the festive ambience. Add a console table and position central or against a wall in your entryway that can hold a metal tray loaded with dates. Adding a diffuser or incense burner for an aromatic ambience and floor lanterns or candle stands to lead the way for iftar. Nahel Selo Creative Director at Sedar Global adds: 'This is not a permanent addition to the home so can be as subtle or elaborate as you choose, my advice is to pick three colourways as well as one metallic, or wood tone you will use and work them from entry hall throughout the home for cohesive feel.' Tip 2 – Contemporary, rustic or Khaleeji Interiors Before getting started, pick the style and colour palette you are going for… Whether it be more of a contemporary twist featuring this year's favoured palette for the season, including pastel and sage green hues with gold touches. A minimalist Bedouin style finish focused on contrasting textures and textiles - incorporating Arabian geometric patterned throws, rugs and pillows. Or a Moroccan feel incorporating motifs with tile, ogee and latticework including indulgent drapes, bright colours and shapes. A Khaleeji creation, with subtle Turkish influences including accessories inspired by Islamic architecture that comes from the Levantine period using materials such as silk and brocade. Or a rustic organic and modern feel majlis reflecting the city and desert scape of Dubai, working in earthy colours using natural fabrics and light tones, paired with the richness of fading gold or brass, weathered wood and plants. Tip 3 – Indoor & Outdoor Ramadan home tents and majlis-style seating Recreate the magic of a majlis or Ramadan home tent at home. 'You can create an arabesque style lounge area for your family to socialise without spending a fortune and this year Ramadan falls at a time when we can still enjoy an outdoor or indoor design' says Nahel Selo. You can craft a simple tepee in the home or garden using sheer or linen curtains or even if budget allows for outdoors hosting add a pergola or awning installation. True to the heritage of a majlis create social space division using low seating arrangements, such as ottoman or poufs teamed with floor cushions laid over a rug. Selo comments: 'at Sedar we have a range of Ramadan themed designs and can customise curtain drapes, instal awnings and pergolas as well as add oversized pillows mixed with accompanying medium and smaller styles in different shapes and textures to complete a festive modern look.' Tip 4 - Add Arabesque touches to the house Adding a few simple items can be a gentle reminder that Ramadan is here. Whether this be a temporary wall design such as Arabic calligraphy inspired style brass accessory, light reflecting mirrored objects or even Islamic print fabrics and lanterns all a great for curating a memorable entertaining space exuding warmth and capturing the spirit of the month. Decorative cushions and throws are a must to elevate the room, to anchor the space and add warmth choose a rug with beautiful colours and unique patterns. Mix up interiors with traditional flashes of gold or brass contrasted with trending palettes of turquoise, royal blues or dusky pinks, this can be through wallpaper panels, threads and details used for pillows and drapes. Work with mirrors and reflective surfaces to illuminate your gold hues and produce a special ambience. Selo says: 'Adding metallics, specifically gold and brass is not only a nod to tradition but also essential to create the festive mood, for 2025 worn away brass or golds give an earthy and contemporary finish.' Tip 5 - Creative table scaping & atmospheric lighting T ake your iftar meals to the next level by sprucing up that dining table with some creative table scaping. 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. A thought-out table arrangement can transform your everyday table into a holiday celebration. Selo adds: 'Atmospheric lighting is key - from battery operated fairy lights, tall lanterns, to wax candles and tea lights, adding lighting accessories are a cost-effective décor touch to set the mood throughout the holy month'.
