GATHER ROUND Get your home ready for Ramadan with our top tips on creating a warm and welcoming glow THESE FLOOR CUSHIONS ARE PERFECT FOR GATHERINGS DURING RAMADAN 22 | bhomes.com
Ramadan styling | INSPIRATION Illuminate your entryway. Make sure your guests feel welcome as soon as they arrive by hanging a Ramadan Kareem wreath or sign on the front door. Online flower shop Ferns N Petals has a fantastic range of Ramadan blooms (fnp.ae) to choose from, and you can pick up a wooden sign to scribe your message on from any craft store – Creative Minds (creativemindssdubai. com) never fails us. “For me, the styling touch that will have an immediate impact on your guests is candles,” adds Lebanese designer Nada Debs who has teamed up with IKEA to create the beautiful yet affordable <strong>2020</strong> Ramadan Collection, LJUV. “I recommend putting lots of lanterns and candles at the entrance and outside the front door.” Set the tone with a beautiful scent. If, like us, you’re investing in a new perfume (or two) for Ramadan, then you should also be treating your home to a brand new aroma. Oud is especially fitting for the Holy Month, while musk and warm spicy notes are just as great for creating a rich yet soothing ambience. You can find all these types of scents and more at Dr. Vranjes Firenze in The Dubai Mall, which carries a curated collection of over 18 candles and home fragrances in beautiful glass bottles handpicked to suit local tastes. “Selecting a home fragrance is an exercise in selfreflection,” says Dr. Vranjes. The good news is that you can’t go far wrong. “Objectively there are no bad olfactory notes; the art is in finding a balance between them. The final goal is harmony.” Add some warmth with colour. This year’s colour palette is brimming with soft tones that you can easily layer up. “Warm colours, ranging from red to pink to orange, will look really good as a base for your sitting area or majlis and create a beautiful glow, especially in the evening,” says Nada. “If you want IKEA’s LJUV <strong>2020</strong> Ramadan Collection bhomes.com | 23
