Ramadan Hosting Tips
The Holidays
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 […]
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 […]
How to Create a Neutral Holiday Tablescape
I love decorating for the holidays, but I don’t love the idea of using a lot of vivid colors to do it. And I don’t think you have to either. This year, I decided to fill my tree with ornaments in muted fall colors, and thought a simple and neutral table would go really well […]
Ramadan Tablescapes with West Elm MENA
This year, I teamed up with West Elm MENA to style not one, but TWO table settings for the month of Ramadan! You can see the highlights of both of my styled tables in the West Elm video above. This was such an interesting opportunity for me to reimagine what an Iftar table could look […]
A Ramadan Table with a Modern Twist: Part II

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 […]
Holiday Hostess Gift Guide 2019
It’s that time of the year again – my annual gift guide for the amazing host and hostess! Random thought… So I was confused as to why it’s not quite cold yet, but it turns out that I posted my Holiday Gift Guide 2018 in the same week last year as well, and it was […]
A Fall Tablescape
I really wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get a fall tablescape done for you this year, but luckily I was able to squeeze in some time to create a table setting with my new obsession – warm tones! I reused a lot of my old serveware and bought some new things […]
Holiday Gift Guide 2018
It’s my favorite time of the year! We’ve had quite a bit of rain, which means that it’s been getting colder, so Saudi winter is almost here. It’s not quite officially cold yet… So anyways, I’m sure you’ve already started your holiday socializing (or are about to), so I thought I’d put together a gift guide […]
