Lunar New Year is one of Renova's 15 occasion themes. Upload a photo of your room, house or garden, and it decorates that space for the holiday with red lanterns, red and gold Chinese knots, a potted kumquat tree, peach and plum blossom and a tray of mandarin oranges. It is for families and hosts planning their decorations.
How it works
- Upload a photo of your room, house or garden
- See the result, then save it or keep going
Examples
When it helps
Use it in the weeks before Lunar New Year, whether your family calls it Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival or Tết. It helps you decide where things go: lanterns at the door or over the dining table, a kumquat tree by the entrance, blossom branches in a tall vase, and oranges for visiting family. It works for a flat, a family house, a front porch or a garden, so you can compare the inside and the outside before you shop for the holiday.
Tips for the photo
Take the photo of the place guests see first, or where the family eats together: the front door and porch, the living room or the dining room. Clear away shoes, bags and clutter, as you would in the big clean before the new year. Stand back to include the door frame, some floor and a little ceiling, because lanterns hang high and the kumquat tree stands on the floor. Hold the phone level at chest height. Daylight gives the clearest photo, and an evening photo with the lamps on works too.
What it does not do
Each result is an idea shown as a picture. It keeps your furniture, walls, floor, windows, doors, plants and camera angle, and adds only what could be put up for the holiday and taken down after, though small details may shift. It writes no words or characters, so it adds no spring couplets or good-fortune signs with writing on them. It does not measure your space or order decorations.
