Ramadan is more than just a celebration. It defines togetherness, bringing people together through food and setting the theme of colour among family members for their OOTD. Speaking of which, what exactly is the theme colour for Raya 2025? Well, green and gold are staples, but what is the trending colour on the wheel that everyone is itching to get their hands on? Mono or multi? Let’s get the debate started!
Mono- Keeping it minimalistic or sophisticated?
If you love and devour the simplicity of monotonous hues, you might want to decide next if you’re team minimalist or sophisticated. Before that, let's dissect the shades under the monotonous umbrella. When you say monotonous, think of only one colour tone, with a specific shade only.
Let’s say you like earthy beige, so you outdo your home in various tones of beige, keeping the palette singular. And if you choose minimalism, you go for bare open space settings with no patterns and handles. Everything is just seamless and fluid flowing throughout. If it's sophisticated, you have some character with a bit of gold accents or brown shades minimally injected here and there, but still, the overall design is dominated by one particular shade only.
Why do we feel monochrome is a considerable choice for Raya?
- It keeps the place classy and edgy.
- You don’t have to remove the decor pieces cause they are versatile and can be used all year round.
- Easy to maintain and keeps a very clean aesthetic.
Multi: Full of festive vibes
On the contrary, celebrating the flamboyant brilliance of multiple shades in the palette is all about probing how to use festive colours in the nooks of your home. You can either go maximalist or keep it traditional with heritage hues like emerald green, fluorescent yellow, fuschia pink and royal blue. How do you bring them into your space? You can add these colours to your carpet, lounge sets, curtains and even as drapery, instantly uplifting the mood and ambiance. Take note that adding these shades brings a vibrant energy to your space, bursting with cultural richness.
Traditionally, the cultural colours of Raya are green, yellow, blue, and white, which enhance the mood of this celebration. However, you don’t have to use these colours as decor pieces; why not create focal points with feature walls in the living area, statement kitchen backdrops, a facade adorned with greenery embracing the green hues, and state-of-the-art wall paintings? Get your creative juices flowing and keep your thinking cap on to go above and beyond with these colour palettes.
When to go multicolour for Raya?
- When you’re a fan of bold colours in your home.
- You personally favour to reside in a fun and attractive space.
- You love to play around with traditional and modern aesthetics.
Diving into interior design, colours have a principal role in dictating the appearance and the looks of a place, the mood to evoke and the vibe they intend to ambush the place with. Similarly, when decorating or revamping your home for Raya, you would want to pick the right shade because having your space outmoded is a big no-no! Let’s get experimenting!
