Bet you didn’t know it’s a haven for Pinterest-worthy pieces for every budget…
If you’re not sure where to start redecorating, we’re here to help. These tips will get your pad pimped-out in no time.
Spring cleaning is a must…
Here’s an incentive for going all Marie Kondo: the Chinese believe that spring cleaning gets rid of bad luck and invites positive qi (energy flow) into your home. To help re-organise your clutter, choose customisable furniture to maximise storage solutions.
We recommend: Full House Home Furnishings for fuss-free wardrobes with adjustable compartments. If a complete bedroom do-over’s on your agenda, their bedroom set is available at a discounted rate of $1,288 (from $2,088), while their sofa and recliner set is retailing at $988 (from $1,588).
Embrace the colours…
Want a quick way to give your room a new look? Simple! A bold, patterned wallpaper is the most obvious way to transform an entire space, minus the fuss. Don’t forget to keep the focus on a single wall to avoid overwhelming your decor.
We recommend: Home Edition for a diverse range of wallpapers – every purchase made before 28 February comes with free installation services.
Luxe it up with bed linen…
While we’re on the topic of a CNY spruce-up, let’s not forget about the bedroom. We can’t resist investing in luxurious, silky-smooth bed linen – they’re worth every penny! Psst… it’s also a popular practice to purchase new sheets for Chinese New Year.
We recommend: Epitex’s soft, 1,600 thread count MicroModal sheets (they’re up to 50% off!) available at Linen Gallery.
And while we’re at it…
When was the last time you’ve had fluffy pillows and a firm bed? The key to rising up early and energised for the festivities is (of course) a good night’s rest.
We recommend: Sea Horse for good quality, wallet-friendly mattresses and bedding accessories.
Get in touch with nature…
House plants are a great way to add elements of spring into the house, and CNY must-haves include ‘lucky’ bamboo plants. But if you prefer something that’s low maintenance, home accessories with floral or tropical prints are a good alternative.
We recommend: Miniso for scent diffusers – with the floral buds for décor too!
Tip! Lifestyle items are on discounts at selected stores until 28 February. For more great #housegoals inspo, visit Hougang Mall.
