The ritual of decorating the house in beautiful lights and other accessories during a festival has been around since the beginning of festivities. Be it kids or the elders, shopping and adorning the house during a festival is something everybody likes.
Eid is a very special occasion for Muslims, not only because of cultural and religious significance but the bliss it comes along with. The treats, gifts and above of all the tradition of sharing happiness and love add to the enthusiasm. Going to your relatives’ houses and exchanging blessing and presents on this holy day is a tradition. You should try different décor elements in your house to increase the beauty and ambiance of this day. Here are a few ways to decorate your home for the beautiful day of Eid.
Sprinkle the Stars and Swing the Moon
The stars and moon have been considered very auspicious in Islam. And what can be better than the lovely stars and moon to adorn your house with? There are different varieties of star and moon decorating pieces in the market. But if you have a creative bone and adore the handmade pieces more, then you can make something yourself. The falling stars garlands, strings or wall hangings would look amazing – on windows, above doors or the walls – on this special day.

Spread the Sweet Fragrance
The sweet fragrance spread in the whole place lifts the spirits of the host as well as the guests. The fresh flowers settled on the table, in the ignored corners, kitchen, next to the door give your home a heavenly touch. Don’t shy away from even overdoing it. There’s no one who doesn’t like flowers. You can also put a flowered wreath on the door giving it a fresh and inviting look.

Blend of Light and Scent
Of course, the candles. They do so much more than just illuminating the space. Candles also spread the lovely scent and serve as decorative items. Try different ways of displaying those candles you bought for Eid. You can get decorative candles from a store or can paint them yourself at home. Add some water to a bowl and let the candles float there; you can use it as a centerpiece.

Bunch of Balloons
I don’t have to say how important are they. Everybody loves the sight of balloons. And frankly, any decoration would seem a little dull without a bunch of balloons. Plain, glittering or with inscriptions they all are pretty. Plus, there is no such thing as overdoing when it comes to decorating your house for a festival. Balloons can also serve as a medium to give Eidi to the children. Put some money and treats in and hand them over to the kids, because Eidi is the best part for them.

Memory Wall
Well, if you are decorating for Eid, why not touch upon every nook and corner of the house? Walls are important to be taken into the account. If you don’t want to do much then hang a few Eid garlands on the main walls of the house. You can splash them with new colors. The use of handcrafted garlands with some pop up colors and glitters surely add a striking element to the wall. You can make a collage of photographs with your loved ones and display it on the wall.

Set the Table for Presents
Who says presents have to stay in a bag? They can also help to adorn your settings. Get a table and set the presents in a decorative manner on it. You’ve got another piece to brighten up the space. The gifts can be packed in shiny, glittery packing or beautiful bags can hold them while giving a stunning touch to the space they are kept in.
