    As the Festive season approaches soon, it’s time to get your home into the holiday spirit too with the right décor. As Santa will be tempted to come in through the front door this year.
    Festive décor can vary depending on the occasion or holiday you’re celebrating, but here are some universally appealing ideas for creating a cosy and celebratory atmosphere at home.
    Lighting
    Use warm or multi-colored string lights to add a magical glow. You can also opt for festive scents like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine. Place them in glass holders or lanterns for safety and style.
    Table Decorations
    Create arrangements with pinecones, baubles, and evergreen sprigs. Add height with candles or small vases. Choose ones with festive patterns like snowflakes, plaid, or metallic designs.

    Ornaments and Garlands
    Hang on doors, above the fireplace, or as part of a gallery wall. Drape them over mantels, banisters, or around windows. Enhance with lights, bows, or berries. Fill vases or bowls with ornaments for quick and easy festive touches.
    Seasonal Accents
    Choose holiday-themed or cozy textiles in rich colors like red, green, gold, or navy. It’s always easy to decorate with pinecones, holly, eucalyptus, and dried oranges.
    This year, we’re doubling down on our holiday decor as a fun, festive way to spread joy far and wide. We tend to spend more time at home with loved ones during the holiday season, why not deck those halls in style.

      Could we have a table for two, please? You can do the same with your own romantic tablescape set to perfection.
      With the rain in sight all-day dressing up and making a reservation might seem like a daunting task. If you plan to celebrate a special occasion from home with your better half, there are many ways to set the mood up for romance.
      While, there are so many options you can choose from having dinner at a fancy restaurant, getting a couple’s massage, going to a museum. The list truly goes on. However, one of our favorite ways to kickstart the weekend is to spend it at home with a personal touch.
      Overall, It’s private, you can be as creative as you want, and you’ll get to be in the comfort of your own home with your favorite person, and most importantly do it your way.
      Creating a romantic tablescape at home involves setting a beautiful, intimate atmosphere that feels personal and special. Here’s a step-by-step guide to designing one:
      Choose a Colour Palette
      Decide on a color scheme that reflects the mood you want. Popular romantic palettes include. Deep reds, golds, navy blue, or even black with metallic accents. Your theme could be elegant, rustic, modern, or vintage, depending on what speaks to your relationship.
      Set the Foundation with a Runner
      A solid-colored tablecloth, lace, or a delicate runner sets the stage. For a more rustic or casual vibe, you can use a natural fiber placemat or no tablecloth, showing off a beautiful wooden table.
      Elegant Plates and Flatware
      Use your best dishes or a set with a sophisticated or artistic design. Opt for gold or silver flatware to add a touch of luxury. You can also layer plates (e.g., charger plates under dinner plates) for a more elaborate look.
      Add Candlelight
      Candles are key to a romantic setting. Choose, Taper candles for a classic and elegant touch in stylish holders. Pillar candles for a more modern look. Tea lights in small clusters for an intimate glow.
      Floral Centerpiece
      A bouquet of fresh flowers is always romantic. Use roses, peonies, or even wildflowers that complement your color scheme.
      If you’re beginning the evening with a cheese platter and ending with a cheese cake, finding the right cutlery, décor and other elements can make for the perfect tablescape. Whether you’re preparing an elaborate meal or ordering in, designing a romantic tablescape can undoubtedly contribute to an unforgettable evening without the the noise and hassle of travelling two and from the booking.
      So, set the mood with festive candles, flowers, and a rouge tea set that can get ready for a truly romantic evening.

      20 refined coffee table books for a strong interiors game

      by

      Life

      by Sarah Joseph
      9 mins ago

      Designed for the avid traveller, minimalist and art enthusiast, coffee table books have become a décor staple in every home.
      As a visually stunning aesthetic designed to be placed on coffee tables, bedside tables, dining tables and even TV consoles, coffee table books have gained immense popularity over the years with its thick glossy pages created to educate readers of all ages.
      Whether you’re looking to spruce your home or gift a memoir to your loved one, these eye-catching books can seamlessly fit into any shelf.

      Stack them in layers
      Arrange 2-4 books in a neat stack, largest book at the bottom, gradually smaller on top. Additionally, you can also have one tall stack of books next to a shorter stack to add visual interest.
      Use as a base for decor
      Place decorative items on top, such as a small vase, a candle, or a sculpture. This adds height and layers to your coffee table. Keep the decor proportional to the stack—nothing too big that will cover the books entirely.
      Fan them out
      Instead of stacking, you can fan out a few books. This allows the covers to be visible and gives a more relaxed, casual look.
      Mix with objects
      Combine the books with other objects like trays, bowls, or plants. This gives a curated look without overwhelming the space.
      If you’re looking to elevate the style of your own space or round it out with the perfect finishing touch, a curation of tomes that meets your interests and tastes is absolutely the way to go.
      With eye-pleasing artwork and carefully curated pages, Emirates Woman has curated a guide of all the best coffee table books to invest in.

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      1 hour ago

      “Dopamine decor” is a term used to describe interior design choices that aim to stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, by creating a visually appealing and emotionally uplifting environment.
      Here are some ways to incorporate dopamine decor:
      Color Palette: Choose colors that evoke positive emotions. Vibrant hues like blues, greens, and yellows can create a cheerful atmosphere.
      Natural Light: Maximize natural light to improve mood. Open curtains, use sheer fabrics, and position mirrors strategically to reflect light.
      Texture and Comfort: Include plush cushions, soft rugs, and cozy blankets to create a sense of comfort and relaxation.
      Art and Creativity: Hang artwork that resonates with you emotionally. Abstract, colorful, and visually stimulating pieces can elicit positive feelings.
      Sensory Elements: Use scented candles, essential oils, or incense to engage the sense of smell and create a soothing environment.
      Organized Space: A clutter-free environment can reduce stress and anxiety. Proper organization promotes a sense of control and calmness.
      Positive Affirmations: Decorate with positive quotes, affirmations, or motivational artwork to uplift your spirits.
      Functional Design: Arrange furniture in a way that promotes easy movement and functionality. A well-organized space can reduce frustration and increase efficiency.
      Variety and Novelty: Incorporate elements that capture your attention and pique your curiosity. Unique or unexpected decor pieces can trigger feelings of excitement.
