While Christmas celebrations often feature trees as a central festive symbol, the Chinese New Year (CNY) doesn’t have an equivalent singular iconic decoration. However, that doesn’t limit the variety and creativity imbued in the vast array of CNY decoration items. These items span a wide range, including Chinese lanterns, money trees, depictions of Caishen (the God of Prosperity), lion dance figures, and representations of the Chinese zodiac animal of the year. Notably, red decorations are prevalent as this colour symbolizes wealth and prosperity.
In business settings, decorations that connote prosperity are particularly favoured. This is why it’s common to spot the Maneki-neko (the fortune cat) at points of sale. In this article, we aim to compile a list of unique and creative CNY decoration items that would enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home, office, or business premises.
While their primary purpose is to serve as decorations, some of these items also offer functional utility. They can double up as small storage spaces, phone holders, coin banks, night lamps and more. These decorations not only enhance visual appeal, but also contribute to creating a positive energy ambiance to welcome the New Year.
