Is your dining room in need of a little attention this Eid? While cooking special foods for Eid should be given priority, you shouldn’t forget that part of the pleasure is in the presentation. In other words, if you decorate the table and the food, it will give more of the Eid feeling. From the bold and colorful, to casual and rustic, you’ll find the perfect inspiration in these stylish dining table decorating ideas.

Determine your style

How do you want a space to feel? Do you prefer tailored pieces or do you prefer looser or more comfortable items? Do you want a colorful decoration? Do you like to use printed items for your dining table? A perfect way to help you determine your desired style is to think of key words that define how you want to feel. To follow your wish, take notes of design inspirations in every facet of life. Try to recall a decoration of a restaurant in which you have dined that particularly grabbed your eyes. It is important to determine the decision first to decorate a perfect dining table.

Cleanliness

Fancy and eye-catching decorations are great but they will lose their appeal if the surrounding atmosphere and table are not clean. Both the kitchen and dining room should be extra neat and clean for Eid, along with the rest of the areas of the home. Hence, cleanliness should be the first priority.

Get a fancy tablecloth

It will be amazing if a fancy tablecloth can be gathered for your dining table because a tablecloth can add a special touch to any dining table. You can buy one, but the best idea is to find a family member or neighbor or friends who know how to sew a fancy tablecloth. Among others, if you want a unique concept, then make special mats for each family member, or collect printed tablecloth that you like. Moreover, if you can sew, you can create by yourself by selecting a right fabric, measuring the table and adding panels.

Display the best utensils

You would not wear a tie with punjabi, would you? Similarly, if you have kept a fancy tablecloth on the table, it must be matched with fancy utensils! Thus, to keep the Eid vibe intact put out the best utensils which are not used regularly, but used occasionally.

Use cloth napkins

Why not use cloth napkins instead of paper? Using cloth napkin is better than paper napkin because cloth napkin can add to the formal appeal of the meal. Try to contrast the color of napkins to that of the tablecloth so that it creates eye-catching effect.

Make enough space

Don’t make the table look crowded with all of the dishes that are to be served. Try to bring them in according to the meal’s sequence. For example, when the main meal is being served, only that and accompanying side dishes should be served. It means if you are serving rice, then serve the meat items, not desserts. There needs to be enough space for everyone to be able to sit and eat comfortably. If you need more space for side dishes, put them on a smaller table ideally at the same level as the dinner table. In this way, everyone can see everything available for them to eat while having enough space.
