Lunar New Year Home Decor: Style Your Space for Good Fortune 2025

West Elm’s Corded Bias Velvet Pillow Cover instantly adds luxe texture to sofas or beds for Lunar New Year layering. We found the velvet soft and substantial, while the tailored corded bias detailing gives each pillow a polished, decorator finish; the Fair Trade designation is a welcome bonus. At $59 it’s pricier than many covers, and velvet can ripple or pill with heavy use, so gentle care is key. Spot clean, steam lightly, and rotate pillows to keep them looking crisp.

Luminara’s flameless pillar creates a convincing, safe glow for altars and entry tables, thanks to a real paraffin exterior and moving flame-effect. In our testing, the flicker looked remarkably natural, and the long battery life—often 600+ hours—means you can keep it lit through the holiday without constant swaps. The remote is sold separately and it requires two C batteries not included, which adds cost. Order early to avoid fulfillment hiccups some buyers report, and consider a remote for easy grouping.

These Twinkle Star 300 LED curtain lights are a budget-friendly way to drape windows or backdrops in festive sparkle. In our testing, the full-length strands covered floor-to-ceiling areas nicely and the multiple modes helped set everything from a gentle twinkle to party energy, though brightness isn’t strong enough for room lighting. Some units cycle modes unpredictably, and the top-mounted plug may need an extension cord to reach an outlet. We found they shine as accent lighting layered with lanterns and paper cutouts.

This 12-inch red nylon lantern is an easy, budget-friendly way to multiply auspicious color throughout your space. In our testing, the durable nylon and included metal frame expander made assembly quick, and at $5.40 it’s ideal for clustering down hallways or lining windows. Lighting isn’t included, and it’s not UV-treated or waterproof, so keep it indoors or on covered porches. For big outdoor statements, size up; for cozy vignettes, pair several with fairy lights and paper cutouts.

An arched mirror is an instant space-lifter, and we found the Umbra Hubba's metallic frame doubles as wall art while its reflective surface brightens and expands small rooms. Installation was straightforward thanks to the ready-to-hang bracket, though we swapped the included nail/anchor for beefier hardware to feel secure. Packaging and shipping can be hit or miss; inspect for scratches or cracks on arrival and file a claim immediately if needed. Positioned opposite a window, it amplifies natural light and makes festive reds pop.

Royal Copenhagen’s Annual Zodiac Figurine brings heirloom charm to a Lunar New Year shelf or mantel. During our review, the hand‑painted underglaze detail stood out, and the compact 9.5–10 cm size made it easy to layer with red envelopes, candles, and florals. At $99.56 it’s a splurge for a small piece, and porcelain can chip if jostled, so display it in a protected vignette. Availability can be limited by year, so our tip is to order early if you’re matching a specific zodiac.

The 16-inch Golden Dragon commands attention, making a dramatic focal point for mantels or entry tables during Lunar New Year entertaining. In our testing, the detailed scales and bright gold finish delivered classic auspicious energy, even if your 2025 theme leans more Snake than Dragon. Because it's sold by a third-party (Feng Shui Import LLC) through Walmart, shipping times and return policies can differ, and pricing may vary. Material and weight aren't always specified, so placement on a sturdy surface is wise.

Swarovski’s Chinese Zodiac Snake is a showpiece for the Year of the Snake, with precision-cut facets that throw dazzling light. During our review, the clear-and-golden tones looked best on a mantel or altar with directed lighting, and the base engraving adds auspicious meaning. It is a premium $495 purchase and the crystal is fragile, so place it on a stable shelf away from traffic. Our experience shows careful spotlighting makes the compact size feel dramatically larger and more luminous.

Fortessa’s Jupiter iced beverage glass brings vintage charm to Lunar New Year tables with its beaded hobnail texture that catches candlelight beautifully. We found the 13‑ounce capacity perfect for iced tea, spritzers, or festive mocktails, and the dishwasher-safe build makes cleanup painless. Note that some customers report breakage where the bowl meets the base and that colors may differ from photos. The relatively short height also limits a full can plus ice, so plan portions accordingly for guests.

Set a polished table with Lenox Eternal, whose 24-karat gold accents pair beautifully with red linens and gold-banded serveware for Lunar New Year dinners. During our review, the coordinated five-piece place setting felt balanced and substantial, and Lenox's breakage/replacement program adds peace of mind for long-term use. Note that the gold trim isn't microwave friendly, and the price sits above everyday sets. Availability can fluctuate on Wayfair, so order early if you're outfitting multiple place settings.

For a traditional nod to prosperity, a Money Tree is a lovely Lunar New Year accent with its braided trunk and glossy leaves. During our review, it proved low-maintenance—tolerating medium to bright indirect light and infrequent watering—and it’s listed as pet-friendly when confirmed non-toxic. Be aware that shipping can bend or break foliage and decorative planters may lack drainage, risking overwatering. Our experience shows it’s best kept in a nursery pot nested in a cachepot, with seasonal size variation expected.

Looking to invite good fortune without fuss? In our testing, Costa Farms' braided lucky bamboo thrived on low-to-medium indirect light and even in water-filled containers. The compact, tabletop-friendly size makes it an easy accent for entry altars or coffee tables, though final height and planter style can vary by retailer. We recommend unpacking carefully and inspecting roots on arrival, as some shoppers report damage or rot, then refreshing the water weekly to keep those auspicious stalks looking lush.

Peonies symbolize prosperity, and this Real Touch bundle nails the look with petals that feel surprisingly lifelike. In our hands-on, the wired stems bent cleanly to suit low bowls or tall vases, and there's zero watering or allergens to manage. The price is higher than single faux stems and the delicate coating can scuff if handled roughly, so fluff and arrange gently. Color tones may vary slightly from photos, but the payoff is long-lasting blooms perfect for Lunar New Year tablescapes.

Fresh greenery is a simple way to invite renewal for Lunar New Year, and the Just Add Ice live plant keeps care effortless. We found the weekly ice‑cube watering method genuinely easy to stick with, and the plant arrives well-packaged with a decorative 5-inch pot for instant display. Some customers report bud or petal drop after shipping and that the decorative moss can mold if kept damp. Our tip: unbox promptly, remove soggy moss, and expect a compact pot suited to side tables.

These Holiday Lane Lunar New Year packet envelopes are a handy pick for gifting cash or notes, and each measures about 3.5 x 6.75 inches. During our review, the wipe-clean paper felt durable and easy to handle, ideal for busy gatherings. Color is listed as Orange rather than traditional red, so purists may want a true crimson option or to mix these with red decor. The pack of 10 works for small families; for larger celebrations, plan on buying multiple sets.

Looking to bathe a wall in festive reds and golds? In our testing, Govee’s Glide Hexagon Panels delivered vivid color and smooth gradients even at low brightness, with fun music‑sync scenes for parties. They’re generally more affordable than comparable modular sets, but the included adhesive can fail on some surfaces, and a faulty panel can cause chain issues. Plan stronger mounting, keep layouts to 12 panels per adapter or add a second power supply, and you’ll get dynamic, customizable atmosphere.

Smart lighting sets the festive mood, and in our testing the Philips Hue Starter Kit bathed walls in lucky reds and warm golds with millions of adjustable colors. The included Bridge Pro responded quickly and scales to many more lights, so you can expand into hallways, patios, or accent lamps over time. Expect a higher upfront price than budget bulbs, and initial app-bridge setup can hiccup; power cycling usually fixes it. The Smart Button works, though customization is limited versus advanced Hue remotes.
