You can decorate a room for the New Year in such a way as to create comfort for your family, and at the same time surprise everyone. But when it comes time to prepare, very often we don’t know where to start. What attribute of the holiday can be considered the main one? In this article you will get acquainted with a huge number original ideas For decoration. Find out how you can prepare a room and the windows in it for the holiday. So, about everything in detail below.
Where to begin?
Preparing the premises for the holiday should begin with careful planning. Some do not pay attention to this issue at all, considering it unimportant. Others focus all their attention on thinking about the menu, purchasing groceries and preparing a festive dinner.
In fact, it is by preparing and decorating a room that you can create a truly warm atmosphere. Those who love their loved ones and try to surround them with care and attention are sure to find the energy and time to decorate their apartment or house.
The first thing to do is to conduct general cleaning. After all, if the room is not clean, then any decoration will look ridiculous. No one has canceled the rule “How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it”. Therefore, you need to make an effort to celebrate the New Year in purity.
After that, you can start decorating the room. First you need to evaluate the room itself and its capabilities. If the room to which guests will be invited is large and spacious, you can safely give it a flight of fancy.
If she is small and especially free space and no, then you need to proceed from the size of the jewelry. For example, you can use the ideas below that take up little space.
Some of them have small size, others are generally attached to windows or the ceiling, so they don’t take up much space.
It is also important to choose color scheme. It’s unlikely that anyone will decide to re-paste the wallpaper or radically change the design of the room, so you need to start from the colors that are already present.
The New Year's decor should not be monochromatic or boring, but you should also not go to extremes, combining many shades for decorations at the same time.
The main attribute of the holiday
Even Small child will say that the main symbol of the New Year is the Christmas tree. Everyone faces the question of which is better to buy - artificial or live. In order to save money, many people decide to buy an artificial Christmas tree and use it for many years.
Others would be happy to do this, but there is no place to store it. And yet, many residents of our country cannot imagine the New Year without a living Christmas tree, the aroma of which fills the whole house.
Almost all decoration options are suitable for both live and artificial Christmas tree. Decorating with ordinary glass toys is considered outdated, so you can use one of the modern ideas.
Advice
It is not necessary to completely replace toys with it; you can simply combine several decor options.
Edible decorations
The easiest way is to decorate candies. Can be taken like candy small size, and larger chocolate bars. However, the flight of fantasy should not be limited to this. Some cookies or cakes are round in shape, making them difficult to hang. And if this happens homemade baking, then such decor will definitely create a cozy atmosphere.
Photos
If the New Year is celebrated with family, you can hang photographs on the tree. It is not necessary to use frames. Each photo can simply be decorated with a little rain. Everyone who comes to the holiday will admire themselves while looking at the Christmas tree. A If you make it a surprise by preparing photos in advance, then everyone will definitely be surprised.
Flowers
Why not? Only the truly creative will take on the idea of combining incompatible things.
The only caveat is that it is better to choose flowers that will not wither immediately. It’s better to choose a place in advance that sells exactly fresh flowers and decorate the Christmas tree with them literally before the guests arrive.
Advice
Some decide not to limit themselves to one Christmas tree. You can build “additional” Christmas trees, for example, by laying them out in rain on the wall. You can even make the shape of a Christmas tree out of food, the main thing is to use your ingenuity.
Artificial snow
New Year is associated not only with the Christmas tree, but also with snow. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not spoil us with real festive weather every year. Sometimes you have to go celebrate the New Year in rubber boots, under an umbrella. Therefore, the idea of making artificial snow is always relevant.
From foam plastic
Yes, it will take a long time to gut the foam. But, given that there is an unnecessary sheet in the house (for example, all the equipment is packed in it when sold), then such decor will cost free. You can crumble the foam with your hands, or you can use a grater or even a fork. You can pour artificial snow under the tree, on wrapped gifts under it. You can also string foam balls onto fishing line to create a chandelier decoration. Although it is troublesome, it is very beautiful.
From toilet paper
This artificial snow is more suitable for making snowballs from it to decorate a Christmas tree, or for making other figures. Tear the paper into small pieces, place it in a microwave-safe bowl, and place a piece of white paper on top laundry soap. Place the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute, take out the material and add a glass of water to it. We knead it with our hands like plasticine. After this, we move on to sculpting the selected figures.
Advice
You can decorate various New Year's paraphernalia with artificial snow. For example, you can cover bottles, both decorative and those containing champagne, with foam snow.
To do this, you just need to coat them with glue first. In the same way, you can decorate candlesticks and other elements on the holiday table.
New Year's windows
There are many ways to decorate windows. New Year is not a holiday where you can just curtain them. Sooner or later, guests will come to the window to enjoy the weather outside or watch the fireworks. And from the street, decorated windows look special, especially in private houses. Any owner will be pleased that people passing by their home admire its beauty.
The most popular way to decorate windows is with snowflakes made with your own hands. You can find many techniques for making them on the Internet, so you can make masterpieces. The patterns on the windows also look beautiful.
In stores on New Year's Eve, special stickers are sold that are easy to apply and just as easy to remove. However, it is much better when someone from the family paints the glass themselves. You don’t need to be an artist for this - even simple stains in snow-white tones will look appropriate and resemble the “creativity” of nature in frosty weather.
You can also decorate your windows by placing decorations on the window sills. These can be bouquets of Christmas tree branches and cones, candles, Christmas balls and everything that remains after decorating the Christmas tree. Some decorate the windows on the street side, however, this can only be done if the weather permits. For example, you can hang a garland, the light of which will be visible in the room. Everyone has a garland. They decorate not only homes, but also offices, shops, and trees in parks. All in all, an ordinary garland with small multi-colored light bulbs will not surprise anyone.
You can supplement the usual garland or even replace it using independent work. You don't need a lot of material for this. Some families have traditions every year on the eve New Year's holidays make garlands with your own hands. To do this, you can use these ideas.
Colored paper
You can prepare a stencil in the simplest way; it can be a circle with a diameter of about 6 cm. We cut out circles of different colors and then all that remains is to fasten them together. To do this, you can take fishing line or thread. The circles are placed on them with a needle or glued. You can make one long garland, or several small ones. You can decorate a window, Christmas tree, chandelier, curtains with them.
Garland made from natural materials
A few days before decorating the room, start collecting the skins of tangerines, oranges and lemons. Then, when the time comes, you can cut out any figures from them using a stationery knife. Stars or hearts look original. The cut out figures are strung on a thread using a needle. Despite the fact that such a garland is far from durable, because the skin will lose its shape the very next day, this idea is very original.
“Delicious” garland of natural materials
Very soon the long-awaited New Year will come with the chimes and the president's speech! Do you remember what is the main decoration of the table? That's right, TV. What is an indispensable attribute of the New Year?
