The Holy Month of Ramadan is finally here, and while you get used to fasting, we’re going to help you achieve a very important task during this time of the year: creating the perfect table to host your family and friends for Iftar or Suhoor gatherings. We have to admit that this is no easy task, as many are the details that you should pay attention to. So, to sum it all up, here are a few tips that will allow you to prepare your space to perfection!

• First, let’s start with the ambiance. A warm one is ideal to host a Ramadan meal, reflecting the heartfelt gratitude that accompanies this Holy Month. Think of spreading ornate lamps with arabesque motifs, wall art with calligraphy of ayats from the Holy Qur’an around, along with vases of flowers and candles.
• Before setting up your table, choose the perfect linen to dress it. From a chic table runner with a matching or plain table cover to embroidered napkins and mats with hints of gold, it’s all about details that bring the whole look together in a way that truly embodies the Month of Ramadan.
• Plates, cutlery, and cups come next. Whether you go with a bright white set or a cream one, a distinctive touch of gold could be a real game changer. If you’re willing to invest in a new set, you can find loads ornated with Mashrabiya designs that you can style either in a classic or in a modern way. This could be a great addition to your homeware collection.
• Now, little details can be the ideal finishing touch to your setting. Incorporate napkin holders, traditional fanoos, Ramadan laterns, crescent- or star-shaped pieces in your setting in order to bring your loved ones together over an enjoyable, well-thought table.
