Type \u00abMuslim decor\u00bb into a shopping site and you\u2019ll quickly see the problem: vinyl stickers, gold-plated plexiglass, mirrored panels with sequins, printed fabrics in series production. There\u2019s demand, so there\u2019s supply. But many of us are looking for something else: a home where you feel you\u2019re among Muslims, without it looking like a souk.<\/p>\n

Good news: it works in a few simple steps. Here are nine ideas that we apply in our studio and that our clients are seeing work in their homes, from the studio in the city to the family home.<\/p>\n

What is modern Muslim decor?<\/h2>\n

Modern Muslim decor is a contemporary interior where faith is present through a few selected elements: an Arabic word, calligraphy, a place to pray or read the Quran, a fragrance. No theme, no over-the-top details. The rest of the house remains simple, with natural materials and calming colors.<\/p>\n

This austerity is not just a Scandinavian trend; it also reflects something very ancient in our culture.<\/p>\n

\u00abAllah is beautiful and He loves beauty.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Hadith reported by Muslim (91)<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The same Prophet \ufdfa lived in a very modest house: Umar ibn al-Khattab recounts having found him lying on a mat that had marked his side, in a room that was almost empty (reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim). Beauty, yes. Accumulation, no. That is exactly the balance we are looking for.<\/p>\n

1. One word per room, not one word per wall<\/h2>\n

The first mistake is to use it everywhere. A Bismillah in the entrance, an Alhamdulillah in the dining room, a Sabr in the office: each word has its place and its time. We have detailed the meaning of each in our guide daily Muslim words<\/a>.<\/p>\n
