Prayer Corner & Mihrab Decor
Prayer corner and mihrab decor for home
A prayer corner does not need a whole room. A quiet wall that faces the qibla, a mihrab on that wall and a place for the prayer rug and the Quran are enough to turn a corner of a bedroom or living room into a home namaz corner. In mosques the mihrab marks the direction of the Kaaba, and at home it does the same.
Can a mihrab go in the corner of the room?
Yes, with one size. The interior mihrabs with a 6, 8 or 12-pointed star come in five heights from 50 to 180 cm, and only the 180 cm size can be mounted across the corner of the room. The smaller sizes hang flat on one wall. The triple foldable mihrab is another option for a corner, with a large middle panel and two side panels that open to 110 x 80 or 150 x 110 cm.

Setting up the corner
Find the qibla first and choose the wall that faces it. Hang the mihrab so its arch sits above where you stand, place the qibla verse above or beside it, and keep the prayer rug and the Quran on a Quran stand or a rug holder within reach. Soft light and a little empty space around the mihrab keep the corner calm. For more mihrab designs, see our mihrab wall art, and for the rest of the room, our prayer room decor.
