Declutter and Cleanse
Begin with a thorough decluttering session to remove unnecessary items. A clean and organized home is believed to usher in good luck and fresh beginnings for the year ahead.
Incorporate Your Lucky Colors
Decorate your space with your lucky colours. Check out your lucky colours for 2025 and add these vibrant hues through cushions, curtains, table runners, or decorative pieces. To further enhance the festive feel, you can consider pairing these colors with floral arrangements.

Festive Decorations
Enhance your interior with symbolic ornaments such as lanterns, couplets, and paper cuttings featuring Chinese characters like 福 (Fu), which represents blessings. Include fresh flowers and citrus fruits as they symbolize growth and abundance.
Create a Welcoming Entrance
Your home’s entrance sets the tone for the festive atmosphere. Adorn the doorway with some decorative elements, spring couplets or even a bright red doormat to welcome guests and good fortune.
