The special atmosphere of the New Year holidays depends on many details: the general inner spirit, the New Year's fuss, the choice of gifts for people close to the heart, the surrounding decor, which pushes the waiting for a fairy tale and a miracle. Factory decorations can not provide enough uniqueness and coziness, which can be provided if you create New Year decor with your own hands. Every year new and bright ideas appear to create unforgettable ornaments from improvised materials available in stores. New Year's interior does not contain any unusual elements: a Christmas tree, long-loved garlands, Christmas wreaths, various interior compositions, hangers, etc.
From their implementation depends on how stylish and tasteful the room will look:
- Do not combine too bright and catchy colors. Simultaneously used, for example, a bright red, yellow, purple color in the interior, quickly tired and will be importunate variegated. This applies to the colors of metallic: for example, a bronze or gold shade can not be combined with silver. This is considered a manifestation of bad taste.
- Do not use different stylistics in the design. For example, the classic glass angels will not be in harmony with homemade birds made of textiles.
- Observe the dimension. Do not place too small elements on large surfaces and vice versa.
- Always know the measure in decorating. Do not abuse the decor, arrange around the room evenly, so as not to focus in one place. For example, a garland, a wreath with a Christmas tree in one corner will look through the chur.
Correctly selected decorative objects can create a full holiday atmosphere.
Choice of style
When deciding to make New Year decor by own hands, ideas for this can be different. Everything depends on the overall stylistics of the room:
- Lovers of the classics will approach a tall fir tree with traditional decoration (angels, stars, balls in gold and white tones, beads as garlands);
- For the eco-style, crafts made of natural materials, rags, felt, dried fruits will become topical;
- Scandinavian style, high-tech will also look actual with the "classics";
- Minimalism can be present in any design of the house, since it implies the use of only a small amount of decor.
It is necessary to take into account not only the interior, but also the size of the decorated room. Small rooms should not be made abundant with decorative items, as they will interfere with habitual life activity. It will be enough to have several notable accents (for example, a Christmas tree, a Christmas wreath, a composition). "Spray" in this case is not necessary. Minor details will steal space, this will not lead to a qualitative New Year's decoration.
Many choose a style for the Chinese New Year, the decor at the same time differs from us familiar. The predominant colors are red in the decoration, artificial trees are decorated with fresh fruit in sugar, candied fruits. It is customary to place trays with 8 different types of fruit on different corners of the house. But choosing this style should take into account that the dates of the New Year celebrations in our country and China do not coincide, so this celebration may not be relevant.

Decoration of a New Year tree
What is the holiday without the main party - the Christmas tree? Decorate a holiday tree in various ways: buy toys, garlands in the store, and you can make them yourself. But before decorating a fir tree, it is necessary to immediately decide on the general style of decorating a house. Using all the decorative elements at the same time will lead to a tasteless appearance of the room.
Purchased toys
The Christmas tree in the interior occupies a central position, so dress it up properly:
- You should use the classic version of the selection of colors. Optimum for a decent appearance using two colors. Three or more will look tasteless. Trend is the selection of jewelry in one color scheme with the use of different tones and textures of the chosen color (for example, pale blue, blue, matte blue, dark blue, etc.);
- Choose the size of toys, respectively, to the size of the tree. Small size for a large tree is unacceptable, the same as for a large tree. The best option is to use the dimensions "incrementally" - from the top of the tree to have small sizes of jewelry gradually increasing the size to the bottom of the New Year tree;
- Tinsel and garlands should be arranged so that they do not cover the main decor of the Christmas tree - balls and other toys-pendants. Do not pile a tree with a variety of tinsel, but it is better to use beads not in the tone of toys, electric garlands;
Decorating a Christmas tree, adhere to a simple rule - everything should be in moderation. Then the festive center of attention will look stylish, tasteful.

- Vases for flowers. The composition can consist of dry branches, on which additional decorative elements are attached: balls, cones, beads and so on.

Houses are exposed on the windowsill in two or three rows along the entire length, between them at the base they hold a light garland. So the "town" will be highlighted in the dark.
For a long time the usual light garlands on the windows are also widely used. Only here various figures from them to do it is not necessary. Laconic manner in European garlands are attached around the perimeter of the glass. This location will fit into any interior.
