Summer Home Edit: 22 luxe décor picks that dress your space like a fashion statement
This season, your home deserves the same editorial eye as your wardrobe. Just as fashion's most coveted labels—think Ralph Lauren's bold textures, Loewe's sculptural edge, and Brunello Cucinelli's quiet luxury—embrace vibrancy and texture, your interiors should follow suit. Summer calls for a fearless refresh, trading last year's muted palettes for daring pops of color, artisanal craftsmanship, and pieces that command attention. Imagine a living room draped in La Double J's exuberant prints, a dining table set with Ginori 1735's hand-painted botanicals, or a bookshelf accented by Baccarat's crystal brilliance. These aren't just décor choices; they're style declarations. Like a perfectly tailored blazer or a statement bag, the right home accent can redefine a space with effortless sophistication. From Dantaangoi's handcrafted candles to Loewe's tactile leather objects, each piece in this edit has been chosen for its ability to transform the everyday into something extraordinary. Monochrome minimalism had its moment—now, it's time for interiors to embrace the same fearless energy as a runway look. The 22 pieces in this edit prove that luxury isn't just about price tags; it's about personality, craftsmanship, and the unexpected. A Brunello Cucinelli throw in earthy linen brings quiet refinement, while La Double J's clashing patterns inject pure joy. Baccarat's crystal vases catch the light like jewelry, and Ginori 1735's tableware turns meals into curated experiences. These aren't mere accessories for your home; they're conversation starters, mood-setters, and testaments to a life well-lived. Just as fashion thrives on contrast—soft against structured, vintage against modern—your space should balance timeless elegance with playful rebellion. So this season, don't just redecorate. Reimagine. Let your walls, shelves, and tables reflect the same confidence as your closet. After all, if summer is the season of self-expression, your home deserves a front-row seat. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied

4-day Eid Al Adha holiday in UAE: Short-stay bookings among most popular
With Eid Al Adha coinciding closely with final exams and the start of summer holidays, families across the UAE are adjusting their travel plans toward shorter, more meaningful getaways. Fabien Chesnais, general manager at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, said the resort is witnessing a shift in booking patterns this Eid season. "Compared to previous Eid seasons, there's been a noticeable increase in short-stay bookings of two to three nights," he said. He noted that occupancy levels are reflecting this steady demand. "Last year, Ras Al Khaimah saw over 85 per cent occupancy during Eid. This year, we're forecasting over 90 per cent for the peak days, which shows sustained interest," Chesnais added. The guest profile is broadening as well. 'We're seeing more young couples and extended families traveling together,' he said. "There's also a growing interest from regional travellers from Oman and Saudi Arabia, in addition to the strong domestic market from Dubai and Abu Dhabi." Echoing this trend, Cameron Mcneillei, general manager at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa, pointed out that guest behaviour is shifting toward earlier bookings and longer stays. "Compared to previous years, guests are booking earlier, seeking extended stays, and placing greater value on unique experiences that combine luxury, relaxation, and cultural authenticity," he explained. UAE-based travelers, in particular, are showing strong interest in premium, luxury offerings. Mcneillei noted increased demand for beachfront villas, Club rooms, suites, and family-friendly accommodations. "Many residents are looking for a relaxing escape with luxury comforts, personalised service, and activities for all ages," Mcneilei said. There's also an increase in early bookings and a need for flexible stay options. Mcneilei noted that guests are favoring nearby destinations like Ras Al Khaimah, which allow them to enjoy their holidays without the hassle of airport travel.
