Our Guide to Hosting at Home for Ramadan
As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, our homes begin to buzz with the spirit of hospitality. Welcoming guests into a beautifully furnished space is not just a cultural norm but an act of kindness. Here’s how you can create an inviting atmosphere with the right furniture and decor, ensuring your home becomes a cherished place for friends and family to gather.
1. Decorating A Welcoming Living Room
Your living room is the first impression your guests will have, so it’s essential to ensure it’s inviting. A comfortable, stylish sofa, such as our Venice sofa is the cornerstone of any living space, especially during Ramadan when guests come to visit. Opt for a modern sofa that combines elegance with comfort, encouraging conversation and relaxation. Enhance the cozy feel with soft throw pillows by Pintal Home and warm lighting that invites your guests to settle in and feel at home.

2. Elevating Your Decor with Accent Pieces
To truly make your living space shine, consider the power of accent pieces. A contemporary coffee table like our Sigi Coffee Table or a unique side table such as our Juniper Side Table, can become a focal point and serve as practical furniture for hosting. Adorn these surfaces with home decor such as candles, vases from ASAT Pottery, or a stack of books to add character and charm to your room.

3. Decorating the Dining Room
Iftar and Suhoor meals are times of togetherness and reflection, and what better way to enhance this experience than with a perfectly appointed dining area? A sturdy dining table such as our Whitley Dining Table serves as the heart of your dining room. The right dining table, like the solid teak wood option pictured, should not only be a piece of modern furniture but also a testament to timeless taste. Pair it with comfortable dining chairs, like our Carros Dining Chair, that will make your guests feel at ease throughout the evening.

4. Incorporating Your Dinnerware
It’s the little details that often make the biggest impact. When setting your dining table for Iftar, incorporate elements of home decor that elevate the dining experience. Beautiful tableware such as our Pebbles Dinnerware, elegant placemats by Lana Daya, and a centerpiece of natural elements by Ponyee Keramik can all contribute to an inviting tablescape. Each item should complement the other, creating a cohesive look that’s both stylish and functional.
Ramadan is a time of unity and celebration, and your home’s furnishings should reflect this harmony. Select pieces that speak to a modern aesthetic while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. From the sofa where your guests will gather to the dining chair they’ll sit in, each piece of furniture plays a role in crafting an environment conducive to the warmth and generosity of the season.
Remember, your home is not just a space for hosting; it’s your personal sanctuary. As you choose your furniture and decor, think of pieces that will stand the test of time, beyond Ramadan, becoming a part of your home’s identity. With thoughtful selections from our collection, you can create a setting that is as inviting as it is stylish, making every moment of your Ramadan in Jakarta or even outside of it memorable.
