Ramadan and Eid Home Decor Ideas
Simple, affordable ways to make your home feel festive for Ramadan and Eid, from lanterns to table settings.
Many families decorate their homes for Ramadan and Eid. Ramadan is expected to begin around February 8, 2027, and Eid al-Fitr around March 9 or 10, depending on the moon sighting. Decorating is a nice activity for children and helps mark the month. Here are five simple ideas.
Start small and reuse
A few pieces that you can pack away and bring out every year are better than a big, one-time purchase. Choose items with a style you will still like next year.
Our Top Picks
1. Lanterns
Lanterns, called fanous in some parts of the Arab world, are a well-known symbol of Ramadan. Choose a battery-powered set with LED lights, which is safer around children.
2. Crescent and Star String Lights
A string of lights in crescent and star shapes adds a warm glow to a window or a mantel for the whole month.
3. An Eid Mubarak Banner
A banner is an easy way to mark the day and is a good project for children to hang up themselves.
4. A Table Runner and Festive Tableware
If you host iftar meals or an Eid lunch, a table runner and a matching set of plates make the table feel special without much effort.
5. A Ramadan Countdown Calendar
A 30-day calendar with small pockets lets children count the days and can hold a small treat or a kind act for each day.
Involve the children
Children enjoy making paper decorations, which cost almost nothing and look charming. Let them choose where things go. Customs differ between families and regions, so treat this as a starting point and follow your own family's way.
Wishery Verdict
A few lights, a banner, and a nicely set table are enough to make the home feel festive. Start with one or two pieces you can reuse every year.
