Ramadan at home

Ramadan changes the rhythm of a home. Evenings matter more, the house fills and empties around iftar, and the quiet hours afterwards deserve a different atmosphere from the rest of the year.

These notes cover styling for that shift: candlelight as the main source of warmth once the table is cleared, choosing a scent that sits comfortably alongside food rather than competing with it, and preparing a majlis that can hold guests one night and feel calm the next. There is practical detail too — what to prepare in advance, how to keep surfaces clear through a busy month, and small touches that make the evenings feel considered without adding work.
