With the holy month of Ramadan fast approaching, we turned to renowned architect/interior designer, Ghada Dwaik, founder of GD Lighting Design, for some inspiration on how to infuse our home with a warm and inviting ambiance that reflects the spirit of this special time. Here are some of her decoration ideas for every corner of your home, from the living room to the dining room, to the kitchen and the garden, to help you create a visually stunning and spiritually uplifting environment for this Ramadan.
Decorating the Living Room
To help you make your living room a welcoming space that captures the essence of Ramadan, Dwaik has several ideas to transform it into a tranquil haven for reflection and togetherness. For starters she suggests incorporating throw blankets adorned with Ramadan patterns, as well as creating a warm and cosy ambiance by adding a couple of copper side lamps.
Enhancing the Dining Room
To prepare the dining room where families will come together to break their fast and share memorable Ramadan meals, Dwaik suggests using placemats with intricate printed designs in vibrant colours to enhance the overall atmosphere of the room. Among other suggestions, she recommends placing a few decorative copper accessories on the table to add a special Ramadan atmosphere to your dining experience.
Infusing the Kitchen with Ramadan Spirit
While the kitchen may be the heart of any home, it often goes unnoticed in Ramadan decorations. To transform the kitchen to a delightful visual Ramadan treat, Dwaik suggests adding artistic touches like hanging decorative Ramadan items on an empty wall.
Creating a Serene Garden Oasis
The garden is a great space to embrace the serenity of nature during Ramadan. To provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for family gatherings and peaceful moments of reflection in the garden, Dwaik suggests several ideas, including adding copper lighting pendants and installations. These can turn your garden into a captivating oasis that celebrates the tranquility and spirituality of Ramadan.
