Get Creative in Office This Chinese New Year

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, many families are preparing for a huge day of celebration. Although Chinese New Year may not be celebrated like how it was in the past years due to the obvious hurdles, there’s still other creative ways in which we can celebrate the occasion.

Traditionally, in the days leading up to Chinese New Year, many families organise an open house and invite friends, neighbours, fellow workers, and relatives. A lot of people will donate some money to a charity that they admire, and most will spend time cleaning up the house and sweeping away any ‘bad luck’ to make way for good fortune. Red decorations and cut out paper couplets with words such as ‘happiness’, ‘wealth’ and ‘longevity’ are put on display to welcome in all of the new luck.

But the celebrations aren’t just happening in homes across Malaysia. There has been an increase in celebrations between work mates, whether it be food, gifts or decorations around the workplace, as many businesses are promoting the idea to boost team moral and give employees a new experience.

Decorations around the office can be a great way to get into the spirit of things leading up to Chinese New Year. One of the best ways to decorate your office this Chinese New Year is to create a Photo Wall with your fellow workers.

Photo walls look fantastic, and when made with good quality photos, thought and cohesion, they can transform what was once a boring wall, into a work of art.

But where to start?
