What are your home decor ideas?

[Miss Wonderful]

I've been thinking about how I would decorate my future house one day. I think I'd keep it simple. And I would place wall art like this around the rooms.

That looks so good! I've got some nice pieces of Islamic art from Ebay and Etsy. It really gives my room a nice touch.

In addition (me being a book worm) I would love a collection like this:

@zainabamy that book collection would be amazing to have and use.

I moved three months ago, so I have a new slate to work with. I would like to put a framed print in the living room and buy some plants. Either ones that are easy to keep alive (Pothos sp.) or fake ones.

Personally, l do not like to use lslam as a decoration.

Art Deco is probably my favorite. Mostly B&W, but it is nice in many settings.

@zainabamy My "shelved" library currently is 6 multi-shelves, 20+ feet/6+meter long.

Everything else is ~on-the-floor, etc.

@hameedeh if you have enough sunlight, definitely get live plants. Pothos is so easy, even I kept one for many years, until I moved into an apartment with not enough natural light and it was dying so i gave it away. People say spider plants are easy to keep too, but I've never had one. 

I really would prefer to keep things simple. My decorative items consist of a few landscapes painted by my grandma and a couple Van Gogh prints, and only few shelved pretty vases. But my home's decor would best be described as "kids live here." We have toy boxes of various types in every room: plastic bins of stuffed cuddle toys, crates of books and puzzles, large jars of plastic animals and wooden blocks... the list goes on and on. And quite often these containers contents are scattered all about.

Minimalist...uncluttered, clear surfaces, simple furniture, walls bare mostly just one or two pieces of simple artwork.

Edit: my current living space is very similar to notme's.

@starlight, @hameedeh, I think the three of us would get along very well in real life. Or at least decorate similarly.

I would focus on cleanliness/plain decoration that can easily be changed or that it is easy to vary.

However, like clothing, home decoration/interiorism is a whole world that is deeply attached to the person that is going to use it. You design a "space", so to speak. It actually goes beyond the word "decoration". And when you design a space, you can't do it without keeping in mind who is going to live there and how is it going to be used.

I would do mostly walls, carpets, furniture with an emphasis on earth tones or earthy colors in terms of paint. And I'd decorate plainly but with an added emphasis on Islamic and abstract artwork on the walls, Bakir.

Since I am not allowed to smoke in the house, my garage does nicely.

TV, easy chair, car radio, surrounded by tools and junk. And with a concrete floor, it is easy to keep clean.

That sounds like a great approach. Keeping things simple and letting a few well-chosen pieces of wall art stand out can make a home feel calm, personal, and timeless without being cluttered.

[Mister Jordan]

That’s a really nice vision. A simple base with thoughtful wall art can make a home feel intentional rather than empty. When the surroundings are clean and uncluttered, each piece of art gets space to breathe and actually tells its story. You can also experiment with scale and placement, using one strong piece per wall or a quiet rhythm across rooms, to maintain cohesion without overwhelming the space.

I do digital art so I make signs for the front door for the different holidays with my son and wife have decorated in our room in the room in my son’s room when they’re done with him I have a few other pieces to sit in the hallway or they relate to different things in the kitchen or the back room

The most important thing, though is it a Muslim’s house she look like a Muslim lives there

I turned my whole living room into a fully consecrated Musalla Hussaynia and Hawza complete with a coffee table where I keep the main old books, some papers and books that are seasonal or for classes under it some folders with supplications for the various times of year I know I also have the big books on the phone, but I keep it old-school around here prayer rugs, prostration stones, supplication for the day in the season a chair for men bar or to put longer mall that I might want to read in the night so you can put it back down when you’re done of course the flag and on the wall, not facing the pictures of the first five and pictures of an owl and the visitation on the Lord of the maytrs 

Have a I believe it is chapter 10 verse 87 commands us to make our houses places of worship and in the book of sufficiency and I believe the volume on prayer, which is volume three or four we have two narrations that say everyone should have a place of prayer in his house

Other than that, I like a lot of sunlight to get through bright colors and I’m ridiculous about cleaning I vacuum my house every every day I scrub down the bathroom and kitchen every day or like a nice size because I like to buy a week of groceries and cook different things I like a galley kitchen because I keep Quran in my prayer clothes there I have a couch if someone gave it to me, but I don’t mind having a couch for my wife to sit on the back of me to sit and read the news in the morning and some chairs. I only have a table in my kitchen because my grandmother gave it to me, so I accepted it to humor her. I guess it was a lot older. Maybe I prefer to sit on the floor, a bed and some dressers, ironically my current apartment has a sink in the bathroom, which is cool. I’m in a sink in the bedroom, which is cool. 

If I ever bought a big house, I’d have a full-blown Masjid attached a separate Hussaynia library in seminary have my own workout room complete with steam room and hot tub and nice kitchen a bunch of rooms to receive guest with couches in the back but space to sit on the floor. Phone would be the computer no computer no radio no TV some basic bedrooms and a tea and coffee ceremony room.
