Well, if this isn't the cleverest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm all about making the things around my home 'double as art', and the latest? Professional DIY-er, Dalia Emad Aly, has gone viral for her super simple hack — that uses an IKEA magnetic knife-rack, no less — to transform her prayer mat into a work of art on the wall, while still making it easy to pull off and use during prayer time.
Inspired by the resurgence of 15th-century tapestries in modern interiors, it makes a feature of your beautiful, often handcrafted prayer mat, and what's not to love about that? Plus, even if not for artistic reasons, it also solves any struggles with space and organization. I usually hang my prayer mat over a chair, but when I need to use the chair, it goes on the bed, and once it’s time to pray, it’s back on the floor. Not ideal.
