You wouldn\u2019t want your friends and family to judge your <\/span>cleanliness <\/b>based on your home\u2019s <\/span>tidiness<\/b>, would you?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That said, another important part of the <\/span>CNY celebration <\/b>is establishing the mood. Giving your home the <\/span>CNY vibes <\/b>is just as vital as maintaining its cleanliness. A home without <\/span><\/span>CNY deco<\/b><\/a>\u00a0won\u2019t feel as <\/span>inviting <\/b>and <\/span>festive <\/b>as one with it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More particularly, it\u2019s definitely important to decorate your <\/span>kitchens\/dining area <\/b>to reflect the <\/span>CNY mood<\/b>.

 <\/p>\n

Here are some of our tips to <\/span>decorate <\/b>your <\/span>kitchen <\/b>for <\/span>CNY<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, this is not a <\/span>decorating tip <\/b>per se but we know how the <\/span>CNY <\/b>festivities can get a bit hectic. With all the <\/span>visiting <\/b>and <\/span>cleaning up <\/b>after guests, your <\/span>kitchen <\/b>will be an important base of operations during this period. To that end, it\u2019s important to keep your kitchens <\/span><\/span>clutter-free<\/a> <\/b>to help ease your mind while you serve your guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"organising

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019d suggest <\/span>streamlining <\/b>your <\/span>kitchen appliances<\/b>. This includes <\/span>storing <\/b>your <\/span>kitchen utensils<\/b>, <\/span>pots<\/b>, <\/span>pans<\/b>, etc. Keep those that you only need. Also, keep your <\/span><\/span>countertops<\/a> <\/b>free of <\/span>clutter<\/b>. And<\/span> store <\/b>bulky appliances you hardly use inside your <\/span>kitchen cabinets<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This tip will go a long way in presenting a <\/span>kitchen <\/b>that looks <\/span>clean<\/b>, <\/span>well-maintained<\/b>, and <\/span>efficient<\/b>. And hey, you can cram in MORE <\/span>CNY deco <\/b><\/span>when you have<\/span> less clutter<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Sort of like a painter working on an empty canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Red<\/a> <\/b>is <\/span>THE <\/b>colour of choice among the <\/span>Chinese<\/b>. It symbolizes <\/span>happiness<\/b>, <\/span>health<\/b>, and <\/span>wealth<\/b>.

 <\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re not looking to <\/span>overhaul <\/b>your entire kitchen for <\/span>CNY<\/b>, then we\u2019d recommend the mix-and-match approach. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your <\/span>kitchen <\/b>doesn\u2019t have to be caked in <\/span>red<\/b>, that\u2019s going a bit overboard. Instead, you can add dashes of <\/span>red elements <\/b>throughout the <\/span>kitchen<\/b>. <\/span>Red-coloured kitchen accessories <\/b>such as <\/span>plates <\/b>and <\/span>cups <\/b>will also work. These <\/span>red kitchen accessories <\/b>will add that bit of <\/span>colour <\/b>to an otherwise <\/span>dull kitchen<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNY <\/b>is all about the fancy <\/span>red\/gold<\/b> coloured <\/span><\/span>CNY accessories<\/b><\/a>. Think <\/span>knots<\/b>, <\/span>red lanterns<\/b>, <\/span>calligraphy banners<\/b>, and so on. Having various <\/span>CNY-themed accessories <\/b>in is a great way to create a <\/span>contrast <\/b>with your <\/span>kitchen\u2019s theme<\/b>. Thereby maintaining a powerful <\/span>visual impact <\/b>for visitors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CNY

 <\/p>\n

For instance, the go-to accessory of choice for most <\/span>Chinese <\/b>homes is <\/span>calligraphy banners<\/b>. These <\/span>banners<\/b> are normally written in <\/span>black <\/b>or <\/span>gold ink <\/b>on a bright <\/span>red paper<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CNY

 <\/p>\n

The simplest and most common <\/span>calligraphy banner <\/b>is of a <\/span>good luck <\/b>character. These <\/span>single word banners <\/b>are typically written on a piece of <\/span>square paper <\/b>and <\/span>pasted <\/b>on <\/span>doors<\/b>. And the most popular <\/span>good luck <\/b>character being the <\/span>\u798f (f\u00fa \/foo)<\/b> character, meaning <\/span>good luck <\/b>or <\/span>blessing<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"good

 <\/p>\n

Do remember to <\/span>tilt <\/b>and <\/span>paste <\/b>the <\/span>banner <\/b>to resemble a <\/span>diamond shape<\/b>. You\u2019ll also want to <\/span>paste <\/b>the character <\/span>upside down <\/b>to symbolize <\/span>good luck <\/b>pouring onto you when you pass through your door.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that having too many<\/span> <\/span>accessories <\/b><\/a>will take away the <\/span>focal point <\/b>of your <\/span>kitchen<\/b>. Worst of all, <\/span>excessive CNY accessories <\/b>will turn into <\/span>clutter <\/b>in the long run. In short, <\/span>moderation <\/b>is key!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A <\/span>lively <\/b>kitchen is a <\/span>healthy <\/b>kitchen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In general, one way to make your <\/span>kitchen <\/b>livelier is to incorporate <\/span>living plants <\/b>in it. Though, the <\/span>Chinese <\/b>don\u2019t normally decorate with <\/span>cut flowers<\/b>, especially during <\/span>CNY<\/b>. The belief is that anything <\/span>cut <\/b>represents <\/span>severing good luck<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead, we recommend placing fully bloomed <\/span>live plants<\/b> in your <\/span>kitchen <\/b>for <\/span>CNY<\/b>. The idea here is that <\/span>live plants <\/b>represent a sense of <\/span>renewal <\/b>and <\/span>prosperity<\/b>. Plus, there\u2019s also the added <\/span>health benefits <\/b>that <\/span>live plants <\/b>bring.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, <\/span>narcissuses <\/b>are deemed to bring <\/span>luck<\/b>. And <\/span>peonies <\/b>represent <\/span>prosperity<\/b>, <\/span>peace<\/b>, and <\/span>wealth<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
