Ramadan Décor Ideas

Ramadan is a time of contemplation, introspection and an embracing of Islam in a way that is unique, beautiful and deeply spiritual. However, everyday life still goes on, even if there are some fundamental changes. Ramadan décor should reflect this intensely important time of the year for all Muslims, and at Crate and Barrel, we have some suggestions that can help you to tie in your décor and the way you celebrate iftar with your faith. 

Ramadan Accessories

One of the most interesting features of Islamic decorative art is the use of calligraphy instead of pictorial references. Arabic script is incredibly beautiful, and the art of calligraphy brings this beauty alive in a huge variety of applications, including accessories featuring script designs that connect Muslims to their faith, culture and heritage. 

As the sun goes down and the daily fast is broken, cups like our Ghida’s Arabic coffee cups in gold or the dazzling design of our Fairuz Arabic coffee cups are the perfect way to begin the evening’s feasting. Picking up on the Arabic theme is the gloriously decorative use of floral designs, such as the charmingly traditional Majestic Arabic Coffee Dallah and matching cups, which bring a real burst of colour to any Ramadan table décor.

Ramadan lights – brighten up your garden

As the sun sets and darkness falls, many people observing Ramadan choose to have a family iftar meal under the stars. As the party goes on into the night, it’s the perfect time to light up the garden with strings of our charming Twinkle Gold and Silver 10’ LED lights, fire up a barbeque and let the kids have some fun with a game of our Tumbling Tower game while the adults indulge in another cheeky burger from the grill. The subtle effect of strings of twinkling lights creates a friendly, sociable atmosphere where everyone enjoys themselves – truly in keeping with the spirit of Ramadan!

Ramadan home décor – a chance to refresh and renew your home

Ramadan is a time of renewal, so why not take this opportunity to clean your home from top to bottom, removing any negativity left over from the previous year, and giving your house a makeover? Filling your home with natural elements brings the beauty of nature indoors. Planters like our wonderful Arcaydia Medium tabletop Wood and Metal planter or charming Terrariums filled with succulent plants need very little maintenance but give you that connection with nature that is such an important part of Islam. 

Unusual sculptures such as the simple yet striking Dark Grey Volcanic Ash Disc not only creates a focal point in any room but can also serve as a simple meditative tool to help you still your mind and focus on the spiritual rather than the mundane.

Ramadan is a joyous, wonderful time of the year that is unique and very special to all of us here in the UAE. Not only is it a chance to reconnect to our faith, but it’s a time of celebration, family get-togethers, and feasting, as well as a time to reflect and renew. At Crate and Barrel, we have a huge selection of items that can help you celebrate Ramadan in real style.
