1. Living Area 

Decorating the living room for Ramadan is one of the most fun things you can do ahead of this loved time of the year. Get creative with various Ramadan decor in every corner. 

Here’s a few tips to get you started:

  • Ramadan accessories are your best friend! Think coasters, candles, photo frames, and wooden boxes all in Islamic patterns like the popular Khayamiya or Arabic calligraphy.
  • The sofa needs a makeover too! So, grab those matching Ramadan-themed cushions and throws to complete your Ramadan home decor. 
  • Spread about various Ramadan lanterns of different sizes in an empty corner or maybe by the TV.
  • You have a lot of room to get creative with your center table. Add a table runner for starters that matches the cushions; then you can add an assortment of Ramadan snacks stacked neatly on its bottom shelf. 
  • Hang a Ramadan banner on the wall above the TV along with a string of lights shaped like tiny lanterns or stars.
  • Balloons for Ramadan are also quite festive. So, you can have a number of colorful balloons all over the living area and on the walls.

2. Dining Area

Whether it’s for your family everyday for Iftar and Suhoor or you’ll be having your friends over for a cozy gathering, the dining area is very important in Ramadan. 

Attention to details here will save you a lot of time during the busy nights of Ramadan, so take note of these tried and tested tips:

  • Napkins are a chic and inexpensive way to bright up the dining table. Choose ones with lively patterns and colors across a white tablecloth for an amazing look. 
  • Set up a side table for all your Ramadan drinks such as Kharoub, Jallab, Qamar Aldeen (apricot juice), dates with milk, and soup. You can choose beautiful glasses and jugs as a Ramadan decoration set. 
  • There are many Ramadan-themed trays to choose from, so pick the one that speaks to you and set the glasses on it. Don’t forget trendy water bottles as it’s still the go-to drink when breaking the fast.

  • Gold is an undying trend. You can take this chance to spice up the cutlery along with some gold-patterned plates; buy sets that will go perfectly with gold lanterns for great Ramadan table decor.
  • Well, one side will be for drinks, but there’s no forgetting desserts! If you have enough space, you can put your desserts on another side table opposite the drinks with a colorful tablecloth. 
  • If you don’t have the space for this extra table, no worries. Use the center table in the living room so everyone can enjoy their favorite Ramadan shows while having dessert. 

You can never go wrong with some Ramadan bunting on the walls and matching ribbons on the dining chairs. Now your Iftar decorations are complete!

3. Kitchen

Cooking Ramadan meals is a huge part of the holy month, so the kitchen is one place in your home you don’t want to ignore this year. Having beautiful Ramadan ornaments and decor there will help you get in the mood: 

  • You can have crescent-shaped cutters for dough. Baking will be a lot more fun and Ramadan-oriented!
  • Get the little ones to be creative and draw a Ramadan crescent moon and stars neatly on the wall. It’s one of the best and easiest things you can do for Ramadan decorations with kids.
  • Arrange fresh flowers in a vase on the kitchen countertop. Use the colour and texture of the flowers to complement the table linen and curtains.
  • Lanterns and moon-shaped cushions are among your traditional Ramadan decorations; they can be added to the kitchen table with an Arabian-patterned cloth.
  • Hang Ramadan-themed wreaths and garland on the kitchen door. This includes paper lanterns for Ramadan too, which the kids will love doing.

4. Outdoor Area

It’s not just about Iftar when it comes to Ramadan, is it? Suhoor is just as important to be able to continue with fasting. 

What better place to have that glorious meal than outdoors in the garden by the light of the moon! Check out these suggestions for Ramadan outdoor decorations to make it a magical time:

  • How about an Arabian-style seating area in your garden for Suhoor? Gather up as many cushions as you can and set up a low table on the grass for the family to surround it. 
  • The garden is a fun place for the little ones and you can really make use of that this Ramadan. Fix a large tent to the ground and light it up with Ramadan lights. It can be a cool place where you can sit with the kids and teach them about Ramadan rituals.
