Breaking the fast during Ramadan is a much-awaited time that we’re privy to each day of this holy month. Iftar dining sees family and friends gather around the table to partake delicious dishes. Laying out the ultimate experience this Ramadan begins with these decor and furniture elements in your dining space. 

The dining table is your focus

The dining table is the central part of your dining space. Incorporating tables made of natural materials brings timeless versatility to dining areas. A prime example of this is marble, which can be used to create remarkable tables that exude an elegant feel. Another natural material is wood, such as a solid wooden surface on metallic legs for a refined look. There are many other material options for tabletops too, from the delicacy of glass to the sturdiness of concrete.

To add another element of interest to your dining space, consider the various styles of the dining table legs to create a distinguished space for your Ramadan celebrations. Bring softness to the room with curved table legs, stability with a solid central base, structure with traditional-style table legs, or intriguing lines with geometric shapes.

Pull up a chair

The chairs that you place around the table are no longer standardised to exactly match the table. Instead, interior designers now incorporate chairs as a focal point in rooms. You can match dark chairs with a similar background, to create a standout element of design in your dining room.

Having a distinctive collection of dining chairs brings new colours, textures and features to elevate the space. We've also seen a focus on creating comfort, with chairs featuring support arms rising in popularity.

The finishing touches

Now that you have the furniture covered, it’s time to lay the table for that ultimate dining experience. A well-dressed table exemplifies a modern design aesthetic, allowing you to incorporate accessories to suit a special occasion and what better time to do so than during Ramadan.

Here are our top tips on how to bring elegance to your dining table this Ramadan:

• Fresh flowers: Explore the idea of natural materials being a central feature of elegant dining rooms. Consider placing a bouquet at the centre of your table. This adds a special, fragrant, and fresh touch to the room.

• Glassware: Lay out your finest glassware to complement the premium look of your dining room furniture.

• Candles: Candles are a great way to add ambience to the room with soft, natural lighting. Candle holders from Chattels & More enhance the table layout with colour and intricate design. Opt for candle sticks and play with the height by adding different sizes to add depth and dimension to your dining room.

• Colours: When it comes to colour, white presents a clean and modern look. Adding touches of gold elevates the overall look with warmth, creating a regal dining setting.

After your gathering, these accessories need not stay out on the table. You can store them in a handy console table or buffet.

Once you have your table ready for Ramadan, be sure to get your living room ready too with a tailored entertainment centre from Al Gurg Living. The sleek design offers great options for storing your Quran and prayer essentials, as well as transforming your space by tucking away the TV.

This wraps up our guide on how to create the ultimate dining experience this Ramadan. To see the above all come together, have a look at this set table by Chattels & More for Ramadan.
