Iftar dinners and suhur meals allow families and friends to come together and count their blessings while celebrating the month of worship. With the Feast of Eid soon approaching, your dining table is quickly going to become the hub of your home.

Ramadan generally coincides with the new moon, so using that as inspiration for your table settings and décor can add a spiritual and magical ambience to your surroundings. However, just as your wardrobe reflects your personal choices, your Ramadan table should too. Browse our collection of tableware and accessories and get your home Ramadan-ready.

The moon as your muse

The appearance of the crescent moon signifies the end of Shaaban and the beginning of Ramadan. Not only does this call to mind the method used by the ancient traders to navigate their way along trade routes by night, but it also reminds us that we are continually guided by God. Incorporating crescent moons into your table setting not only adds a celebratory feel to proceedings but serves as a reminder as to why we should embrace the challenge of fasting.

 Products from Crate and Barrel, such as our range of Ramadan Crescents, can act as magical centrepieces to any meal. Many are equipped with LED lights, so your suhur can take place in twinkling peace, or you can decorate your dining room with a few, to increase the feeling of celebration during the Feast of Eid. However, if space is limited, why not use candles? Our Ramadan Moon and Ramadan Star candles are made in the UAE and add a sophisticated ambience to any iftar or suhur setting.

Perfection in practicality

A time to purify the soul, you can reflect the spiritual aspect of Ramadan in items such as your tableware. Simple, white tablecloths offer a beautiful backdrop against which to set your Ramadan tableware. To add a touch of refinement to your meals, check out dinnerware, such as our Kashida Calligraffiti plates. Emblazoned with golden, swirling script, they’re the perfect plates with which to break your fast and add an elegant edge to the food you serve. Alternatively, our Celestial Star serving bowls and Celestial Moon serving platters ensure that your guests feel as special as you want them to. 

However, there are practicalities to consider. Before the dawn, at the end of each day, or the Feast of Eid, your family and loved ones are likely to be as thirsty as they are hungry. Liquid refreshments, such as tea or coffee, should take the spotlight as much as the food you provide. At Crate and Barrel, we offer a quietly elegant range of coffee pots, coffee makers, and tea kettles. Created by established and up-and-coming designers, they're the perfect embellishment to any Ramadan meal. 

As much as Ramadan is a time for contemplation and fasting, it’s also a time when friends and family gather and enjoy each other’s company. To ensure that your Ramadan table communicates what the Holy Month means to you, browse our collection of Ramadan tableware, and make yours one to remember.
