There’s a beautiful saying in Chinese culture: “When flowers bloom, prosperity follows.” As we welcome a fresh Lunar New Year, one way to invite new beginnings and abundance into your home is with auspicious flowers. Decorating your space with these blooms helps attract prosperity while creating a harmonious atmosphere. With popular choices such as the elegant orchid, prosperous peony, pure lotus, calming lily, and lucky rose, you have plenty of ways to attract positive energy and good fortune into your life.
Harnessing Energy by Element (The Five Elements Theory)
Aside from the symbolism of CNY flowers, matching blooms to the five elements can enhance the harmonious flow within your home.
1. The Vigorous Wood Element
Wood represents growth and renewal. Individuals who are innovative, dynamic, and focused on personal development often find strength in this element. To foster this energy, you can incorporate our Fortune Bamboo Centrepiece to invite luck and prosperity into your home.
Beyond bamboo, including lotus flowers within your daily surroundings, promotes purity and spiritual growth. Furthermore, embracing lush green foliage helps to amplify this vibrant energy.
2. The Passionate Fire Element
Fire denotes energy and transformation, which is why people who align with this element are often charismatic and driven. You can mirror this warmth and spirit with the Chiffon Rose Centrepiece or the Liora Gerbera Centrepiece, as red roses symbolise love and excitement, while gerbera daisies add a joyful, energetic vibe. By choosing compositions with red and orange tones, you invite a cheerful and energetic vibe into your space.
3. The Grounding Earth Element
Personalities aligned with the Earth element are reliable and supportive, favouring stability and harmony. You can reflect this nurturing nature with our Sunburst Sunflowers Bouquet, as yellow flowers evoke warmth and positivity. For a sense of stability and support, consider pairing these with brown tones to cultivate a feeling of security, or pink and red blooms, like our Dewy Hydrangea Centrepiece, to further enhance the nurturing energy of your home.
4. The Focused Metal Element
Metal denotes clarity and focus, traits often found in disciplined individuals who value precision. Lustrous white lilies or silver-toned arrangements embody these qualities, infusing your environment with an air of sophistication and understated elegance.
For those seeking a long-lasting festive glow, you can opt for preserved flowers, such as our Everlasting Preserved Flowers Vase, to represent the clarity and precision of the Metal element. These everlasting botanicals allow you to enjoy the lasting beauty and positive energy of real flowers throughout the season and beyond.
5. The Intuitive Water Element
Water represents wisdom and flexibility, making it the perfect element for intuitive souls who value emotional balance. You can foster a tranquil, reflective mood in your home by choosing blue or black flowers, such as our Midnight Hydrangea Bouquet, or dark calla lilies, because these unique shades represent depth and mystery. Adding these flowers to your living space fosters a reflective mood, helping you maintain emotional balance during Lunar New Year celebrations.
Auspicious Blooms to Welcome Abundance
Certain flowers in Chinese culture are known for attracting good luck, wealth, and joy into your surroundings.
1. The Auspicious Willow Blooms
Our Auspicious Willow Blooms are an exquisite choice for welcoming the Lunar New Year with prosperity. Traditionally cherished for their height and sturdy branches, pussy willows are a traditional symbol of good fortune and new beginnings.
Pairing these flowers with shimmering gold accents creates a striking representation of wealth and abundance. Integrating these blooms into your decor honours seasonal traditions, ensuring your space remains filled with positive energy throughout the celebrations.
Placement Tip: To invite good fortune, place these willow arrangements near your entrance or in the hallway. Positioning them in these transition areas draws in auspicious energy and sets a sophisticated tone for everyone who enters your surroundings.
2. The Elegant Orchid
In Chinese tradition, orchids symbolise fertility and abundance. Bringing these flowers into your home helps nurture better family ties and improve career luck. Beyond their beauty, they are believed to increase happiness and encourage a sense of good harmony throughout the household.
[Harmonia Phalaenopsis Orchids]
To invite greater prosperity into your living space, our Harmonia Phalaenopsis Orchids capture the spirit of the festivities by bringing together themes of fortune, harmony, and success in one graceful arrangement.
Placement Tip: To improve wealth and career prospects, it is a good idea to place your orchids in the "money corner" of your home at the far left corner from your front door, or within the east or southeast areas to boost positive energy.
3. The Prosperous Peony
Known as one of the luckiest flowers in Feng Shui that represents wealth, beauty, and charm, peonies are often referred to as the "King of all Flowers." In Chinese culture, these blooms are synonymous with royalty, as they historically graced the imperial gardens of the emperor’s palace.
Beyond their striking appearance, pink varieties are popular for those looking to attract suitors or spark a new romance. Our Empress Peony Centrepiece captures the full splendour of these blooms, bringing a sense of elegance to your interior.
Placement Tip: If you are single, displaying these botanicals in the living room is a traditional way to invite romance. According to Feng Shui, couples should avoid placing peonies in their bedroom to preserve the peaceful energy of their partnership.
4. The Pure Lotus
The lotus is a symbol of purity and perfection because it begins its lifecycle in muddy waters, but rises above the surface to bloom in breathtaking beauty. Beyond its physical appeal, it also represents spiritual enlightenment and a sense of calm.
Adding these blooms to your house can boost family harmony and may even improve your financial outlook.
Placement Tip: Unlike some other flowers that require specific locations, lotuses can be displayed almost anywhere in your home. By positioning them in a central area, you can anchor the energy of your surroundings, fostering a sense of spirituality and harmony.
5. The Calming Lily
Lilies offer a peaceful vibe and symbolise renewal, helping create an environment that supports everyone's well-being. Beyond their serene appearance, these Chinese New Year flowers also symbolise abundance and harmony, making them an excellent addition for those seeking a fresh start. To bring this serene energy to your surroundings, our Elysia Lily Centrepiece is a perfect choice, offering a touch of calm elegance that uplifts any room.
Placement Tip: Place your lilies in a north-facing position to maximise their tranquil effect. Setting these flowers in a bedroom or a quiet corner can enhance your property’s overall energy.
When curating your own bouquet, you can mix and match different colours to create an auspicious aesthetic. However, it is best to avoid pairing white and red together, as this combination can create a less favourable energy.
6. The Lucky Rose
Roses are symbols of good fortune that can shift a room's energy depending on their hue. For instance, pink and red tones are traditionally thought to support love and marriage, while peach varieties are often associated with enhancing stability. For those seeking simple happiness and joy, yellow roses are a wonderful way to brighten the atmosphere.
[Timeless Elegance Rose Bouquet]
Our Timeless Elegance Rose Bouquet is a fitting centrepiece for your holiday styling, helping you draw these positive influences into your life. Whether you are celebrating with a partner or looking to refresh your space, these flowers bring a classic charm that resonates with the spirit of the Lunar New Year.
Placement Tip: To focus on your romantic life, position your roses in the "love corner" of your living area, in the southwest area. This traditional arrangement is believed to attract romance and strengthen existing relationships.
Optimising Flow Through Strategic Placement
Positioning your Chinese New Year flowers in high-traffic areas ensures that positive chi circulates throughout your house.
Main Living Area
The living room is the heart of your reunion, and choosing the right blooms can set the perfect mood for your guests. Red flowers encourage warmth and lively conversations during your Lunar New Year gatherings. Our Emperor Garden Blooms, for instance, symbolise wealth and success, serving as a fitting ornament for the season. This bold display is favourable for those who lean toward the Fire element and seek to create a dynamic atmosphere for their guests.
If you prefer cheerful, sturdy blooms, sunflower arrangements, like our Cinder Sunflower Centrepiece, radiate brightness and positivity to the room. These flowers support a nurturing environment that helps guests feel comfortable and valued, making them an excellent choice for people with a strong Earth element.
Bedroom
Lavender and jasmine are excellent choices for the bedroom, as they promote restful sleep and a sense of intimacy. These tranquil blooms are especially beneficial for those seeking Water element relaxation, creating a serene sanctuary for the night ahead.
If you are looking to ignite more passion, red roses act as a classic symbol of love that enhances romantic energy. Beyond their beauty, they are believed to attract prosperity, transforming your private space into a luxurious and loving retreat for Fire element personalities.
Kitchen
To spark inspiration while you cook your Chinese New Year feasts, try displaying yellow flowers with fresh herbs like rosemary or basil. Yellow flowers help enhance creativity and nourishment, making them a fitting choice for those who resonate with Earth. Meanwhile, incorporating fresh herbs aligns with themes of renewal and is ideal for people seeking to embody the Wood element.
Home Office
White lilies or orchids promote clarity and creativity, qualities helpful to those guided by the Metal element. Complementing white flowers with blue blooms, such as hydrangeas or bluebells, creates a reflective atmosphere that supports emotional balance for people who align with Water.
Bathroom
Bamboo and peace lilies enhance tranquility, making them a perfect addition for those connected to Water energies. Combining these with fragrant jasmine or chamomile creates a relaxing atmosphere that benefits individuals influenced by the Earth's nature, transforming your space into a peaceful sanctuary.
Entryway
First impressions are everything when welcoming guests into your house, and bright marigolds or chrysanthemums offer a cheerful greeting for any visitor. To further enhance the energy of this space, displaying lucky bamboo in your entryway signifies good fortune, success, and wealth this Lunar New Year.
Radiant flowers like chrysanthemums invite positive energy and set an uplifting tone, making them an excellent match for anyone drawn to the Fire element. Pairing these with potted plants like lucky bamboo symbolises growth and prosperity, helping attract abundance and supporting those who favour the Wood element.
