With Hari Raya Aidilfitri quickly approaching, all of Malaysia are gearing up to celebrate community and love through the festivities. Hari Raya is the pinnacle of all celebrations in Malaysia, where we meet and enjoy family time, makan with friends and “beraya”.

Use gold, but not too much gold
Gold is glamourous, rich, and elegant. It will give your home the touch of class that it craves. This Raya, do not hesitate to experiment with gold. It could change the dynamics of your living room, your bedroom, your kitchen or even your bathroom. To bring out the best in gold, pair it with some complementary colours, such as dark brown, beige or even black or white to create a hue that is striking.
Gold helps accentuate these colours and at the same time, it gives off a comprehensive brilliance.
