Home decorations to usher in the Rabbit
The Chinese Lunar New Year begins on February 3rd, but as pointed out by many Feng Shui experts including Joey Yap, the actual new year begins on February 4th at 12.34pm. Chinatown all over the world is abuzz with activities and here at StarProperty.my, we visited a few malls and stalls to share some décor ideas for your home this new year.

Well wishes
Decorate the entrance of your home with a couplet! Besides inviting prosperity into your home, the couplet is also a good way to greet your friends and loved ones who visit you during the festive period.

Hopping into a golden year
Fancy something elegant? Then opt for a gold-plated rabbit! The surface is a layer of pure gold, while its layer underneath is covered with a copper. The rabbit is placed in a small glass box – perfect as a decoration or gift!
