Hari Raya Decor Ideas For Your Home
Bean Bag Sofa ($32.81 – $61.19)
You can never go wrong with a bean bag sofa (or two!) placed in the corner of your living room. The ergonomic design perfectly contours to every inch of your body and supports it well, making you feel comfortable and at ease while resting. The bean bag sofa is especially useful when you have guests over during Hari Raya and run out of space – this cosy, portable sofa will do a great job in making your guests feel at home. On top of that, it acts as a good Hari Raya decor idea for any part of your house, be it the living room, bedroom or playroom!
2. Bedroom Blackout Drape ($8.46 – $8.96)
Besides shielding us from what-feels-like-38-degrees heat, curtains can also give your living space a sense of sophistication and cosiness. You should never underestimate the power of a stylish backdrop, so what better occasion than this festive season to get your home a fresh set of curtains!
If you are unsure on how to pick the perfect set of curtains for your home, a tip from decor enthusiasts is to fix your curtains from ceiling to floor to give the illusion of a larger room. Additionally, it is recommended to choose a colour that complements the existing colours in your room. While neutral colours are usually the safer option, there is no harm in opting for bolder colours to add a playful element to the spirit of the festive season!

They help to enhance the overall appearance of your home without having to break the bank.
