People like Islam because it's a beautiful faith with no mythology. It comprises simple teachings that are based on reason and logic. There are some basic beliefs that all Islamic people believe, while there are also beliefs that can vary regardless of whether all people belong to the same religion.
One thing that is common in Islam is that Muslims like to decorate their homes from the inside and out. Decorations mean we are creating spaces that match our lifestyle, making our lives beautiful. Decorating your home by yourself means you feel like it belongs to you, and you represent your personality with the choices of decorations that you have used in your home.
Things to do:
In any Muslim home, privacy plays an utmost importance. However, there are big windows present in Muslim homes that allow direct light to penetrate while keeping your privacy.
As per Muslim beliefs, there shouldn't be images of living beings like animals or people present in the home. But that doesn't mean there's no wall hanging present in these homes; their décor is simply dull. Arabic calligraphy is widely used for decorative purposes. If purchasing a new art piece is out of your budget, consider creating your own with simple stencils. Islamic stencils are used to develop Arabic calligraphy with flowing strokes that look appealing in any space.
You can surround your home with the décor pieces that remind you of Allah. Add insha'Allah in Arabic calligraphy to constantly remind yourself of the blessings of Allah and His high power. This helps uplift the entire environment of your home, creating positive vibes all around.
Generally, Muslims don't wear shoes in their homes, instead keeping a separate pair inside to avoid bringing impurities into the home. Therefore, when decorating a Muslim home, there should be a shoe rack at the entrance of the house. Even though there are Muslims who treat their homes like mosques and don't let their guests come inside without taking their shoes off.
Many Muslims use the color green for their home decorations.
Things not to do:
If you are adding Quran verses inside your home for home décor, then handling these with respect is essential as per the Islamic religion. You should always be mindful of its presence if you have added it to your home.
These are some of the things that you can consider when decorating your home. Although it depends on your beliefs, which method do you choose? Lighting lanterns and candles is also an essential part of decorations.
