Global property portal Lamudi has put together a handy guide to help take the stress out of preparing the home for Eid Al-Fitr.

In this guide, Lamudi conducts a tour of the home, where preparations for Eid can be made without having to step a foot out of the door. These steps are aimed to make sure the whole family is prepared for the upcoming end of Ramadan celebrations.

There are plenty of old homewares hidden in the dark corners of this room. Try involving the children by getting them to redecorate these forgotten items and help freshen up the home in time for Eid. Organise an afternoon workshop in your garage, invite other children from the neighborhood and show them how to upcycle these outdated pieces. Another handy tip is to make use of leftover paint. Add a splash of color to pieces of furniture and see how it livens up your living spaces.

Next, update the living room for the Eid festivities. Focus on creating a cozy atmosphere for the end of Ramadan celebrations. Sit down with the loved ones and prepare an entertainment program for Eid.

Avoid long queues at the shopping mall but still get the best outfit for Eid by ordering the clothes online. Make sure the wardrobe is sorted out by putting aside the old clothes and donating them to charity.

Take stock of what you have in the kitchen cupboards before heading to the shops to buy food for Eid.

“Save time and money by avoiding a beauty salon right before Eid. No doubt your bathroom is already well stocked with everything you need to look gorgeous on the day. Perhaps you can look up your grandmother’s old recipe for how to hydrate your skin using homemade face masks.”
