In the spirit of Chinese New Year, we’ve compiled a slideshow of properties which have the traditional colours of red and gold incorporated into their décor.

In Chinese culture, red symbolises good fortune and joy, while gold represents wealth, meaning that having details of either (or both) in your property bodes well for the year to come!
