Home decoration ideas for expats in Oman

Post new topic

Bhavna

Hello,

After moving to Oman, setting up home and turning your accommodation into your personal abode can be a great way to start off your new life and feel at home. We would like to know whether expats are keen on decorating and furnishing to warm up their space whether for the festive season or all year-round.

Upon renting a new apartment or house in Oman, do you redesign your accommodation to suit your taste? Are your choices influenced by price, climate, etcÂ…?

Have you brought any interior decoration items from your home country or did you consider buying any once in Oman?

As an expat in Oman do you find it worthy to invest in home decor? Could you share what you have bought and perhaps some interesting places to shop for home decor?

How would you describe the local style of decoration? Have you picked up any item which reflects the local style?

Would you be inspired by the festive season to decorate and add a festive touch to your living space?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Bhavna

I am presently living in a sharing bachelor accomodation, but soon will be shifting to my independent apartment. I have already thought about some decorating ideas. Few of them are as follows.
1) Atleast one indoor plant in living room, kitchen and the only bedroom. They will add breath of fresh air and liveliness to each room.
2) planning to create a gallery wall, where I'll be adding amazing collection of memories, that too in a timeline manner.
3) LIGHTS... Different varieties of lights: ceiling lights, chandelier. Lights can add extra charm to your house especially at night. So choose wisely.
4) Paintings: Haven't decided which one, but one will definitely be hanging in the living room.
5) Furniture: will be minimal. Basic, compact and traditional. Will invest on a decent mini dining table, where i can do candle light dinner dates. Will make sure table is strong, incase things escalate to next level. 😉😉
