Styling a Ramadan Table
This year, I styled a Ramadan table with the Ramadan collection from West Elm. Can you believe that? A globally accessible home store designing collections with Muslims in mind! It just makes me really happy, and frankly, makes decorating a whole lot easier. Visit thedesignsouk on Instagram for more STYLING MY TABLE While for an […]
Coffee Station Accessories
After about a month of setting up my new coffee station, I feel like I finally have a good understanding of what accessories have been essential in making it convenient. At the moment, I have a Nespresso machine, which makes the whole clean up process a lot easier. Since I will eventually upgrade to a […]
Valentine’s Day Date Night At Home
Thankfully, Valentine’s Day in 2022 may be a bit more normal as restrictions are easing up a little and it’s starting to feel more like pre-COVID days. While some of you may be going out for dinner this year, I think the hubs and I will be staying home, cooking dinner (or ordering in some […]

A Ramadan Table with a Modern Twist: Part I
During these unprecedented times, I think it’s important that we make the best of what we have, and I think that goes for tablescapes as well! I wasn’t able to get my hands on flowers, on new pieces, or anything new for this, so I created a couple of tablescape options for you out of […]

Oman Itinerary: A 5-6 Day Visit
I had been wanting to visit Oman for a while, and mostly because I had seen gorgeous pictures of a hotel in the mountains, the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, located about 2 hours away from Muscat. But I really didn’t expect Muscat and its surrounding areas to be just as beautiful! The city […]
