UAE National Day Decoration Ideas for At-Home Celebrations
In a few days, the country will be celebrating its 51st National Day with traditional zeal. From dazzling fireworks to prideworthy parades, the UAE National Day is a common celebration among expats and locals alike. To rejoice in the spirit of the union, you can also put up some creative National Day home decorations. Here is how you can do so.
The Front Door or Foyer
A well-decorated foyer or front door, reflecting the colours of the UAE flag can work as an ultimate decoration spot.
- You can place the UAE flag on your front door. You can also wrap it on each of the two pillars of a foyer. Or if there is no pillar, you can simply raise the flag on a pole and fasten it on your foyer.
- A wreath made of ribbons and flowers in red, green, white, and black colours can be placed on the house entrance door.
- You can decorate the foyer with buntings in the colours of the UAE flag.
- Place a banner or poster saying, ‘Happy National Day’ on the entrance door.
- The foyer can be decorated with balloons in red and green on each of the two pillars or a bunch can be placed in the centre of the front door as well.
The Living Room
A living room is the focal point of every household. This can be the perfect place to show off the UAE National Day home decoration you have worked on. However, before starting the decorations, you must, first of all, declutter your home. A few adjustments here and there can make your living room give those National Day festive vibes.
- You can simply put up a UAE flag either vertically or horizontally on the wall behind the sofa.
- Place a small UAE flag on a stand on the centre table of the living room.
- Balloons in the colours of the UAE flag, held in columns, can be placed in each corner of the living room.
- Flag buntings can be hung crisscrossed on the ceiling as well as can be placed on the staircase.
- Although changing your entire upholstery with the UAE National Day theme would be a major home decor idea, it might be very expensive. Rather, you can change the cushion covers with the UAE flag painted on them. Or have a large flag as the back cover of the sofa or chair.
The Garden
You can host the UAE National Day celebration by gathering a few friends or relatives at your place. A garden can work as an ideal place to host the event. All you need to do is revamp the garden with some UAE National Day decor.
- You can put up a standing UAE flag on your garden’s entrance.
- If you have trees in your garden, you can hang various sizes of UAE flags on them and enhance the look with patio lighting ideas.
- The fence of your garden can have balloons, in the colours of the flag, stuck on it.
- You can also make a beautiful wreath of flowers or pompoms in the colours of the national flag and stick it on a tree nearer to the dining place.
- You may hang buntings reading ‘Happy National Day’ on one of your tree branches as well.
The Dining Room
If you are hosting a family dinner at your place for celebrating UAE’s 51st National Day, you should think about putting up some National Day home decorations in the dining room as well. To create a festive atmosphere in the dining room, you can use these decoration tips.
- Place magnets in flag colours in a straight line on the fridge. You can also buy Emirates Flag magnets or magnets of UAE’s top attractions like Burj Khalifa and stick them to the fridge.
- You can place a small UAE flag on a stand in the centre of the dining table.
- For dining table decor, use table linens painted with flag colours or stitched with pieces of red, green, black and white cloth. You can have napkins, dishes and plates matching the flag’s colours as well.
- The simplest of National Day home decor is to stick tiny UAE flags on toothpicks and decorate your dessert with them.
- You can place flowers; red and white roses, in small vases on the dining table. Or simply, make small pompoms in flag colours and place them in small trays on the dining table.
