Why you should never underestimate the transformative power of a rug
For many UAE residents, putting a personal touch on their apartment or villa requires a little creativity – renting is commonplace and so the ideal solution for many is to make their personal touch a little more portable

Whether it's an intimate dinner party or a lively cocktail soirée, your living space can be transformed into an entertaining haven that leaves a lasting impression on your guests.
With luxurious, beautifully designed hotels, lavish buffets and the signature Arabian hospitality a backdrop to life in Dubai, it’s no surprise that many residents want to up their entertaining game at home.
The secret to great entertaining of course starts with the hosts – if you welcome your guests with warmth and great conversation then everything else is secondary, but every ambitious host knows that the secret is also in making your effort look effortless!
The first step in crafting the ideal ambiance is to consider the type of gathering you're hosting and the guests you'll be inviting. Are you planning an elegant dinner with close friends, or a lively dance party with a diverse mix of acquaintances? The desired atmosphere will guide your decorating choices and help set the mood for the evening.

Let's start with the basics: tableware. Opting for timeless, high-quality tableware not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also contributes to sustainability. Instead of disposable plates and cutlery, invest in a beautiful set of reusable tableware that can be used for various occasions. Look for pieces made from sustainable materials like bamboo or recycled glass, ensuring both style and eco-consciousness.
Next, let's shed some light on the importance of lighting. Some of Dubai’s most enduring landmarks are transformed through the power of lighting, from the undulating colours of the Burj Al Arab to the dramatic laser and light shows of the Burj Khalifa. Lighting has a remarkable ability to transform. For an intimate affair, consider using dimmable pendant lights to create a soft, warm glow. This will create an intimate ambiance, perfect for fostering meaningful conversations and connections. On the other hand, if you're aiming for a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, take your lighting to the next level. Install colorful LED lights around the room, allowing you to change the hues according to the mood of the party. Experiment with different lighting effects, such as pattern projections or twinkling fairy lights, to add a touch of whimsy to your entertaining space.
One subtle yet crucial element that’s often overlooked is the scent of your home. Exquisite diffusers and oils can lend your home an added layer of sense-laden individuality. Fragrance is such a subconscious mood-booster, and your aromatherapy is sure to discreetly influence the energy of your guests . Will you go for an enlivening citrus, a sophisticated fig, or a seductive musk? If you have pets, home scents also play an important role in masking their ‘unnoticed by the owner’ aroma.
Music is another crucial element in creating the desired atmosphere. Curate a playlist that complements the theme of your gathering and appeals to your guests' tastes. Whether it's a relaxed jazz playlist, a dazzling disco, or dreamy Arabian nights, the right music can elevate the energy of the room and encourage guests to either let loose or descend into a soporific sense of calm. Invest in a quality sound system or portable speakers that can fill your space with rich, immersive sound (just remember to be considerate to your neighbours.)
The most important thing to remember though, is that your guests are there to see you. So, relax and enjoy yourself – your décor will be appreciated, but never more than your sparkling company.
