Seven Homeware Picks To Start Off The Lunar New Year Right

Words by The MR PORTER Team

19 January 2023

Next week is the start of the Lunar New Year. It is a time to gather with family and friends, give your home a reboot and consume delicious food. We have been busy little bunnies (see what we did there?) gathering bits and pieces from our site that will help you usher in the new year in style and proudly welcome guests into your abode. Our picks below will guarantee a stylish start to the Year of the Rabbit.

Milanese silver specialist Buccellati has partnered with the porcelain experts at Ginori to craft this elegant set of rice bowls, soy sauce bowls and chopstick holders. If you are hosting a crowd, might we recommend investing in a set in each colourway (white, blue and a soft sage green) for an eclectic yet stylish table?

There are few things more welcoming than flowers, and they are an excellent way to improve the chi in your home. Having a collection of beautiful vases that are as visually attractive as the flowers is a good move. This hand-painted glass vase from the master glassblowers at Venini will set an eye-catching tone for the new year.

The Soho Home brushed-brass candle holders

A celebratory dinner table isn’t complete without mood-setting lighting, so turn off that overhead lamp and deploy some candles to create a soft ambience. These asymmetric brushed-brass holders from Soho Home will complement any decor and won’t distract from the dumplings, nian gao, tangyuan, or whatever is on your Lunar New Year table.

If you are travelling to celebrate the new year with family, be sure to pack this trusty wine kit from L’Atelier Du Vin. It includes everything you need to open your favourite bottle, wherever you may find yourself celebrating, and comes in a travel-friendly handmade leather organiser.

This elegant spice grinder from Tom Dixon is a delight. Crafted from solid marble, the ball can be rolled with the palm of your hand in order to turn spices into a fine powder, a novel twist on the traditional pestle and mortar. It is a useful item to have in your kitchen, but it is also a thing of beauty, an objet that deserves to be on display and admired.

If you are redecorating your home in order to bring good fortune this year, consider adding some soft, cosy touches. Vibrant colour is key to great feng shui, and this cushion from The Conran Shop, while grounded in neutrals, adds splashes of red that will brighten up any room.

Once the celebrations are over and your guests have left, you can sit down and relax with a cup of tea and reflect on your good fortune. Brunello Cucinelli, best known for its luxurious knits and excellent cashmere, has made a cute teapot that is a joy to use.
