Sukkah decorating ideas

Start with the walls: a full-size sukkah mural

The walls are the largest surface in any sukkah, so they set the tone for everything else. A full-wall mural transforms a plain sukkah into a Jerusalem street scene, a view of the Kosel, or a panorama of the Old City — in minutes.

Our murals are original works by renowned artists, printed at full wall size on woven polyester fabric. They are vibrant, sun and water resistant, and finished with metal grommets on top and bottom for easy hanging. After Sukkos they fold neatly away for compact storage and are ready to hang again next year.

Choose a size based on your sukkah: Medium murals suit a standard family sukkah wall, while Large murals are made for wide communal and shul sukkahs. You can browse every design in the murals collection below.

Hanging made simple

The fabric is light enough to tie or clip straight onto your sukkah frame — no tools, no ladder, just a few minutes before the chag.

String, utility hooks, nails, and screws are the easiest ways to hang the murals through the grommets. Alternatively, you can use velcro strips by attaching strips to both the sukkah wall and the tapestry.

Any folds from storage aren't usually noticeable and quickly disappear while the mural is hanging.

Light it warmly

Warm string lights along the top of the walls make the mural glow after Maariv and turn the sukkah into the coziest room of the year. Battery or outdoor-rated LED strings both work well.

Place lights behind the top edge of the mural rather than in front of it — the fabric diffuses the light softly and avoids hot spots on the artwork.

Dress the schach

Hang greenery, beaded chains, or paper chains from the schach at varied heights so they catch the light and move gently in the breeze.

Keep decorations toward the edges of the schach so the middle stays open to the sky, and make sure anything hanging is lightweight enough not to disturb the schach itself.

Set a festive table

A simple white or cream tablecloth lets the mural be the backdrop. Add a low centerpiece — a small vase of greenery or a bowl of the seven species fruits — so conversation stays easy across the table.

If your mural features the Seven Species, echoing those fruits on the table ties the whole sukkah together beautifully.

Add personal touches

Children's artwork, a family sign, or decorations made in school add warmth and make the sukkah yours. Clip them to a string line along one wall so they can be swapped year to year.

A small welcome sign for the ushpizin near the entrance is a meaningful finishing touch.

Plan ahead for Sukkos

Order decorations early — standard shipping is free, and express options are available at checkout at discounted rates, but the weeks before Sukkos are the busiest of the season.

All of our products are manufactured prior to the Sukkos season, so custom size requests should be placed at least three months in advance.
