There is no way to receive Eid Al-Fitr under these difficult circumstances due to the Corona crisis and the curfew, rather than decorating the house with distinctive decorations that give a sense of joy and joy to its atmosphere and the family feels the joy of the feast.
So decorating the house for the feast gives the feeling of a new touch, as the housewife can make every corner in it radiate joy and radiance without the need to change furniture or make costly changes, and the most important of the change is the concern for cleanliness, arrangement and the attractive fragrant smell that distinguishes every successful housewife, whether she uses flowers Natural, multiple essential oils or exquisite oriental incense
Touches of Eid flavor
Decorative coordinator Rana Ghalayini presents some ideas to decorate the house manually with decorative touches that bear the flavor of the feast.
Ghalayini said that changing the lighting or changing its angle only is one of the most important means of renewal. It is possible to change the locations of lamps and "lampshades" or renew them with simple materials made by our hands.
Eid night
The curtains can be raised a few days before the feast, and make it an opportunity to wash and iron them, to get rid of the stains in the curtain fabric and cotton sheets, then hang them on the night of the holiday, so everyone feels the difference as if it is new.
Natural dried flowers are among the most beautiful and simplest ornamental means, and help to spread joy in the place, it must be distributed throughout the rooms, and the use of vases in bright colors.
Among the ideas is the use of innovative ways to perfume the home, without relying on traditional spray, as it can use essential oils or large colored candles.
Colorful flowers and pillows
Different places of the house - the most important of which is the door of the house - can be decorated with a garland of flowers, colored leaves and dried fruits, or various materials that can be installed in the form of a wreath bearing the greeting of "Eid Mubarak".
You can also add other simple touches and add colored pillows in the living room and bedrooms, and if there is room for moving the furniture in the room, it is possible to change the places of the pieces of furniture and rearrange them to obtain a different decoration that brings joy to the hearts.
The use of colored satin ribbons by making a pendant to decorate the living rooms and the salon on Eid Al Fitr is very suitable for the holiday atmosphere.
Decorating children's rooms
Children's rooms can be decorated with small balloons, it is one of the simple things that young people love, and some of their favorite toys can be bought and placed in a corner of the room as a surprise for the morning feast.
It is also possible to make wall decorations in the hands of the children themselves, by designing the decorations in the form of triangles or the shape of lanterns, arches and domes, and printing festive expressions and congratulations inside.
Decorating the dining table
Decorating the dining table is of great importance, and it can be renewed in a simple and distinct way, and arranged elegantly by choosing a mattress consistent with the colors of the used cutlery.
There is no need to have a feast as in previous holidays, but family members feel the joy of Eid at the dining table, so greeting cards can be written on the table or placed at the entrance to the house.
Wax, fragrance and incense
Candle holders can be used, as they have a special charm and create a wonderful home atmosphere. The perfume has its own effect on the atmosphere of the house as well, especially when using scented candles, essential oils or incense to create a distinctive aroma, and placing a censer at the entrance to the house suggests an authentic oriental look.
