Here at Islamic Spaces, we would like to give you 5 design tips for your home, making it a beautiful and cherished sight for your entire family! Create a sanctuary of peace, spirituality, and most of all, comfort. You should be at ease in your home to make pleasing Allah even easier. Here are 5 tips to infuse your home with the essence of Islamic decor and culture:
- Incorporate Islamic Art and Calligraphy:
Perhaps of the most effective ways to beautify your home is by incorporating Islamic art and calligraphy. Pieces featuring verses from the Quran, Hadith, or Arabic calligraphy, such as “Bismillah” or “Masha’Allah,” not only add an artistic touch but also serve as constant reminders of faith. Look for high-quality prints or handcrafted items that resonate with you and complement your decor. The beauty of Islamic art lies in its ability to inspire and elevate the spiritual atmosphere of your home. Here and here are a few examples of art and calligraphy to inspire you, proudly made in Turkey. - Create a Dedicated Prayer (Salah) Space:
Designate a special area in your home for Salah (prayer). This space can be as simple or elaborate as you wish but should be clean, quiet, and comfortable. Use soft, beautiful prayer rugs, and consider adding elements such as a bookshelf for Islamic literature, soft lighting, and decorative yet modest accents. A well-thought-out prayer area not only enhances the spiritual practice but also adds a serene and sacred touch to your home.

One of the most overlooked tips is to add greenery to spaces and to open windows and shades when possible. Ensure that your home is well-lit with natural light, which not only brightens up your living areas but also promotes a positive and uplifting environment. Incorporate indoor plants, which are not only visually appealing but also help in purifying the air. Plants such as peace lilies, snake plants, or even a small herb garden can add freshness and tranquility to your home.

A big mistake families do when deciding on decor is to use extravagant and tacky design choices. Islam promotes simplicity and as such, it is more tasteful to have functional yet sleek furniture. Neutral color palettes with occasional splashes of rich hues can create a harmonious and sophisticated look. Remember, the goal is to create an environment that reflects both style and serenity. - Incorporate Cultural Elements:Remember, everyone has their own culture! The single most important tip we have is to put what makes you YOU. Whether its your favorite sports team, a traditional rug, don't be afraid to put pieces that reflect who you are.
