Gold paneled sophistication: Now, what are Eid festivities without the bling! Décor trends are having it no other way either. All eyes are on beautifully accentuated gold metal panels combined with luxurious marble settings for a bedazzled effect. Be it on sofa structures, coffee tables, dining tables, and even seaters; the gold panels are casting a spell on mainstream furniture pieces. The white marble tops have a classy and luxurious feel and gold add a touch of tradition and intricacy to the design and looks to amp up the décor. For smaller doses of this classic combination, turn to servings trays and candles to ornament dining tops and side tables for celebratory luncheons and dinners.
Contemporary chic: A quick fix to uplift the décor without spending a lot is to redo the furnishings like cushions, throws, rugs, and curtains. To balance the décor between traditional and modern, choose tones like white, beige, and earthy colors; that are on-trend and classy. They serve as a perfect platform for other heavy décor items that you may have and allows the flexibility to play around with design choices. Offset with geometric and abstract prints for throws and pillows also make for a stylish update and add warmth to the décor. Lest we forget the comfort and calmness that curtains can bring; you must consider the overall décor to choose these. Sheer curtains allow light to enter the room making it look spacious during the day and also lend a serene yet vibrant feel to the space during well-lit evenings. Fabrics such as chiffon and voile to net and mesh add a subtle look of class and tradition when it comes to curtains and upholstery. Matching the sofa upholstery with curtains is yet another trend you can try hopping on as it makes for a unique and discerning décor choice for Eid.
Light it right: Make no mistakes with your lighting options as they can truly make or break the ambiance of your living spaces. Intricately designed and luxurious in lighting, chandeliers, and ornamental lamp shades no doubt are the statement pieces that every living room needs. For the reading corners or dining areas, hanging lights do offer enough lighting without becoming over-the-top or intruding. You could also replicate the gold panel trend here for smaller lighting options like side tables or the study table. Tall standing lamps can also be placed to light up corners and in spaces that need a spotlight for attention. While the different shapes and sizes of lamps continue trending or may also choose to take a brief break from the preference list, they never become irrelevant for their functionality. So, investing in stylish lighting options that transform living spaces into a vibrant haven makes for a prolonged décor idea that stays with you beyond special occasions
Make space for plants: It is known that having some specific varieties of plants indoors provide health benefits in addition to being visually appealing. They liven up dull corners and add a soothing touch to the environment. Some varieties are also known to purify the air indoors so make sure you choose the right ones to uplift the festive spirits. While the plants add up the green hue to your décor, you could also choose to place them in stylish planters to up your lifestyle quotient.
Embrace traditions in style: If there’s one traditional element that comes alive during Eid festivities then it has to be the patterns used in Mashrabiya, a typical architectural element popular in Islamic cultures. The designs that Mashrabiyas display have now found space in modern décor and are depicted in various statement pieces. On the more contemporary side is the Aztec print, which includes zig-zags, dots, stripes, and more embedded into one shape, such as outlines, triangles, or circles. Be it some furnishing options, carpets, wall décor, throws or home décor items; you can embrace a bit of tradition in modern settings to keep it culturally rich.
Tableware that creates memories: Meal times are possibly the most cherished as we share space, food, and conversations all at the same time. Make them even more memorable with the choicest of tableware that’ll serve justice to the festive spread. Be it the serving trays for dates, sweets, and desserts or the bowls that go around for finger food; Eid-inspired serve ware is for every home that makes food the most interesting part of the festivities. It’s best to choose patterns and palettes that’ll always add an edge to your hospitality. Be it in ceramics, glass, or metal; all elements have a sophisticated appeal and go hand-in-hand with crockery and cutlery.
Eid is always the most awaited occasion not just for its cultural and religious significance but also for the joy it brings. Make it even more special with a décor makeover to add more warmth and excitement to your celebrations.
