Dine with your family differently this year with some outdoor al fresco dining in the comfort of your own home. Be it enjoying a barbeque or simply catching up with your relatives, you can consider amping up your home with outdoor furniture to provide you and your family with an additional space to get together outside your home.

As Hari Raya marks the end of month-long fasting, one of the traditions many look forward to the most is the days of delicious dishes and feasting. It is the time to gather your loved ones and tuck into traditional dishes like ketupat, rendang, kuih raya, and many other Malay delicacies. So the kitchen must be well-equipped and durable to withstand all the cooking and baking that will be happening especially during this period. You will need a countertop that is highly resistant to abrasions, scratches, water and stains, so you can prepare your feast without any worry of accidentally damaging the countertop.

You can consider investing in the Dekton Pietra Kode collection and give your kitchen an Italian chef kiss by choosing colours that are inspired by classic Italian architecture. For instance, TK05 Sabbia reinterprets Italian Travertine, cut with a vein in its thread that flows through the pieces in a disorderly and colourful way making it perfect for rustic or natural environments or TK06 Marmoriothat takes cues from Travertino Navona, the quintessential Roman stone, that gives an elegant, bright and lightweight look to any design, that will inspire the Italian chef in you.

Other than getting together to bond and feast, Raya is also the best time to glam up and step up your make-up and wardrobe for your family gatherings and open houses. Hence, it is important that there is a comfortable space for everyone to get ready for all the different festive get-togethers throughout the Raya season.

You can give your bathroom a whole new aesthetic that will impress your guests as if they are in an elegant Italian villa. Opt for colours from the Dekton Pietra Kode collection like VK03 Grigio, a gray color scheme and warm nuances that draws its inspiration from Grigio Alpi, made popular by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, who used it in his villas and palaces in the Veneto region; or VK01 Nebbia that is inspired by the texture of Grigio Alpi, with a fine-grained white creamy base dotted with warm taupe hues. To create a holistic classy atmosphere, you can also add various touches like scented candles or diffusers to the space.
