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 Selo sais to 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 contfavoredrasting 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 Eid home tents and majlis-style seating

Recreate the magic of a majlis or Eid tent at home. “You can create an arabesque style lounge area for your family to socialise without spending a fortune and this year Eid 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 Eid 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 Eid 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. Creative Director Nahel Selo comments “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

Take 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”.
