Eid Al Adha is a special time for reflection, prayer, and cherished moments with family and friends. As we prepare to host loved ones for the celebration, one of the first things that comes to mind is getting the home ready using home decor.
If you’re unsure where to begin, don’t worry—this guide covers simple, effective steps to help you prepare. From deep cleaning to thoughtful touches, these ideas will bring peace, warmth, and joy to your home.
Start with Cleaning and Decluttering
Begin with the basics: a thorough clean-up. Dust the furniture, wipe down windows, and take down curtains for a good wash. A fresh-smelling home always makes guests feel welcome. Declutter spaces by removing items you no longer need. Clean and open areas naturally feel more relaxing and are easier to decorate.
Refresh Your Home Décor
Once your home is clean, it’s time to set the festive mood through home décor. Choose soft, calming colors like cream, white, or beige, and add subtle festive tones such as gold or deep red for a seasonal touch. Use soft lighting, cozy cushions, and elegant centerpieces to make each room feel inviting.
Consider adding decorative pieces that bring charm and personality, like the Melvo Decorative Hut for candles or flowers, or the Decorative Row Houses, perfect for shelves or tables.
Make the Living Room Guest-Ready
The living room is the heart of any Eid gathering. Dress up the space with fresh cushions, cozy throws, and a well-arranged center table. A flower arrangement or a stylish game piece like Tic-Tac-Toe can add both beauty and entertainment.
Don’t forget the small touches—add a photo frame like Bloom on a side table, blending dried flowers with cherished family memories.
Create a Festive Dining Experience
No Eid celebration is complete without delicious meals. Set the tone for your dining area with a clean tablecloth, coordinated tableware, and polished cutlery. A simple centerpiece—like a bowl of dates, a candle, or fresh flowers—can elevate the space.
Add a personal touch, such as a Cork GLOBE, which can spark conversations about past travels and family connections.
Don’t Overlook the Bedrooms
Even if guests won’t visit every room, freshening up the bedrooms adds to the overall festive feel. Replace bedsheets and pillow covers, use a subtle room spray, and place a soft lamp or decorative item on the side tables.
For children, add an extra layer of joy with small gifts or Eidi arranged in festive baskets on their beds.
Welcome Starts at the Entryway
Your home’s entryway sets the first impression. Keep it clean, organized, and welcoming. Lay down a fresh welcome mat and place a small decorative item near the door. You can also hang an “Eid Mubarak” sign or use soft string lights to create a warm atmosphere.
Prepare for Overnight Guests
If you’re expecting overnight visitors, make sure the guest room is comfortable. Provide clean sheets, fresh towels, and a water bottle. Keep extra blankets and pillows nearby, and ensure the bathroom is clean and stocked with essentials. A small snack tray or welcome note adds a thoughtful touch.
Add Final Touches Before Eid
On the night before Eid, walk through your home to check everything. Light a few candles or turn on soft lamps. Use a gentle room spray to freshen the air. Place sweets in bowls, set out prayer mats, and consider playing soft background music or traditional tunes.
