Crate and Barrel’s Ramadan Essentials: Must-Have Furniture Pieces and Decor Items

Prepare for late-night hosting and quiet moments of peaceful contemplation with our Ramadan essentials. Create magical spaces that accommodate all your guests during the Holy month.  

Explore the must-have furniture pieces that transform your contemporary home into a warm, welcoming haven. Infuse your spaces with the spirit of Ramadan using modern style touches that pay respectful homage to traditional decorations. 

There is always room for one more  

Whether you’re hosting ten or twenty over Ramadan, make sure your home always has room for one more guest during this sociable month. Modular, sectional sofas offer an elegant seating solution, evolving to meet your needs as guest numbers swell. Align your sectional to suit, adding comfy accent chairs and ottomans to create seating arrangements that feel wonderfully intimate, even when the group is large. 

What better time to add a new sofa than now? To embrace the hospitality associated with Ramadan, choose sumptuous, curvaceous, over-stuffed sofas that make your loved ones feel blissfully comfortable in your home. If space prohibits extra seating, scatter your sofas with attractive throw pillows, which become perfect floor seats for the little ones in your extended family and friend group.  

Practical spaces for hosting 

Host effortlessly with clever space-saving furniture ideas. Extendable dining tables allow extra places to be set at your sparkling iftars, while consoles, accent tables, and sideboards can be utilised to serve bowls of dates and nuts.  

Enjoy the practicality of nesting coffee tables, tucking them away to create more floor space when they’re not in use. Use bar carts to elevate your hosting skills, easily transporting glasses, pitchers, and serving platters to your guests, whether they're inside or lounging on the terrace. 

Harnessing Colour and Texture 

Turn to deep burgundies, plums, and jewel hues to imbue your home with the essence of the Holy month. From accent chairs to rugs, play with tones this Ramadan to finesse your cosy ambience. 

If your home is an oasis of soft, neutral tones, and you'd like to keep it that way, use texture to create a sense of warmth and comfort. Fluffy throws, crushed velvets, and chunky knits create snug nooks in minimalist, airy spaces.  

Tradition for the contemporary home 

The crescent moon is synonymous with Ramadan and can be seamlessly incorporated into the sophisticated modern home with minimalist LED crescent decorations, ideal for adding to tabletops and mantels. 

Follow the tradition of lighting lanterns with a collection of different-sized metal and ceramic lanterns. Style them in your fireplace or at your front door for a charming look. Add a gentle glow and a touch of rich gold to your home using metallic tealight holders and candleholder centrepieces as you allow ambient light to dance through your home.  

Perfume is a traditional gift during Ramadan, so why not scent your home with room sprays and diffusers, heady with warm, floral, and musky notes? Relaxing aromas will encourage moments of reflection in your prayer space and encourage your guests to unwind and feel at home. 

With just a few carefully chosen pieces of furniture and the right decorations, your home will be ready for a contemplative and social Ramadan.
