Table decoration with treats for the New Year

• DIY New Year's interior - great idea. You can make wreaths, stars, garlands, Christmas tree balls, lanterns and other crafts. This will give the atmosphere a unique charm and comfort. Involve children in the work - they will only be happy to help. Thus, the New Year will further strengthen the family and involve all household members in communication.
• Be sure to take into account the style of the room when choosing a New Year's interior. It is unlikely that tacky, overly decorative balls with gilding and “snowball”, shiny or too bright decorations will fit into a minimalist environment. Of course, it is easiest to furnish a house that has been in classic style, or where they do not adhere to any style at all - here you can use almost any decor you want.
• Don't use too many decorations for the tree. It is important that the green spruce branches are visible. Otherwise, the decor will turn out to be too intense, oversaturated, which can quickly tire your eyes.
• Use one color scheme. If you choose decor in white-red or blue and gold colors, then you do not need to mix them. Otherwise, the variegation will make the interior look tacky and chaotic.
• If your apartment is small, then use more light decor when decorating it. Dark and too much bright decorations Christmas trees, walls and windows can visually make the room even smaller, which is unacceptable in this case. You can also use it completely white interior, diluted a little with gold or blue paints. This design creates the necessary feeling of airiness, lightness and coolness. Besides white design looks very festive.

As we can see, decorating a house for the New Year with your own hands is not at all difficult. The main thing is to choose everything with taste, show imagination and invention, take the most suitable ideas from the Internet and interior magazines - and everything will work out.

• There shouldn't be too much light. Select one area where one or more garlands will be located. This zone will be a kind of bright corner, beckoning you in the darkness. If you hang garlands throughout the room, it will be illuminated evenly and there will be no cozy corner will not work.
• Consider the location of outlets in the room so as not to pull the cord around the entire perimeter.
• The most soothing and least harmful to the eyes are garlands with constant, monochromatic light.

And garlands that don’t glow can be made from anything:

• From paper in the form of rings, snowflakes, snowmen holding hands, gifts, Christmas trees, lanterns, circles, stars, angels.
• From felt, using the same figures as in the paper version;
• From cotton wool - form small lumps and string them on a thread;

Door of a house or apartment: entrance to a fairy tale

Just by looking at the decorated front door and porch country house one gets the feeling that the holiday is already close. Therefore, it is quite justified to first decorate the front door, hallway, terrace, veranda or porch, in other words, the entrance to the house.

As you can see, it’s nothing complicated: other containers, fir branches, cones and balls will do their job:

You can make such a simple but effective composition (it’s better to buy decorative apples):

If there are logs in the yard of your house or dacha, then give them the opportunity to participate in the New Year’s decor :)

All these ideas can be implemented for residents of city apartments.
Decorate the hallway, not the entrance group

If there is not enough space in the hallway for such large compositions, then you can always make them more miniature. Or decorate the windows! When you return home, be filled with a festive mood, looking at the cozy windows :)

Catch the idea! Miniature logs can also be placed on the windowsill

To the branches you can add fir cones, mounted on skewers for barbecue, as well as branches with red berries (viburnum, rose hips, elderberry, wild apple):

Very soon, decorative twigs with red berries will appear on sale, which are ideal for composing:

Channel CULINARY IDEAS shares ideas for home decor with twigs and berries:

As soon as in the yards apartment buildings Christmas trees are being installed, hurry up and collect broken spruce branches. And don’t let the puzzled looks bother you, your task is to collect twigs for soulful New Year’s compositions!

If you have the opportunity to have a branch with cones, the bouquet will turn out even more beautiful:

Festive tableware and textiles for the kitchen

The kitchen is the place where the whole family spends most of the pre-holiday and holidays. If you have dishes with New Year's decor, then slowly begin to take them out of the cabinets and place them on open shelves:

Buying a New Year's service is not a cheap pleasure, but it does not have to be done at once. Most stores sell dishes from the same series PER PIECES. Build your collection gradually.

By the way, the dishes can be quite everyday, but if you add just a few themed plates or mugs, the mood will immediately change to exciting and playful:

And even if you prefer dishes neutral colors(not red), it may well become part of the New Year’s decoration - put New Year’s figurines, a Christmas tree, and festive textiles on the shelves:

Bed linen, pajamas and pillows, pillows, pillows...

Have you ever thought that you can literally immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere with the help of bed linen? I didn't think about it either...

... but now, imagining how children would enjoy bed linen with snowmen, Christmas trees and snowflakes, I seriously thought that I should buy one)

New Year's home textiles, of course, are also available for adults:

If buying several new sets of underwear at once was not part of your plans, then you can start small - buy only one. If you liked this idea, then next year you will plan in advance to purchase the missing kits.

And don't forget your pajamas! Or buy only pajamas - it will be cheaper, but no less atmospheric!

Blankets are also an alternative to bed linen. If you have not yet acquired your own, but have been wanting to do so for a long time, then start with one or two this year and continue in subsequent years.

Traditional New Year's colors: red, white, green.
Prints: all kinds of checkered patterns, New Year's ornaments.
Fabrics: cotton, linen, faux fur, knitted fabric

You can make your home blanket more festive using braid with balls if you sew it around the perimeter of the blanket. A wonderful idea, you must agree!)

Oh, what! New Year's compositions with candles

The cuts can be not only round, but also oval. In addition to them, a straight board or even driftwood is suitable as a base:

In the video Vekoria Handmade as a base - a piece of tree bark:

You can supplement the composition with dried flowers, animal figurines, and all kinds of natural materials:

Christmas wreaths, easy to make

It is impossible to imagine foreign homes without an abundance of Christmas wreaths. Of course, we would also like to decorate the front door with a wreath, but it’s a pity to give wasted money or time and our efforts to those who like to take what is “badly” lying around. Therefore it is safer.

From simple options, which do not require special materials and skills, there are these:

Christmas stockings and how to hang them

Not everyone is ready to hang Christmas stockings around the house yet. Having seen enough beautiful pictures from foreign sites, many people think that socks definitely need a real fireplace. But this is not true at all. Just look at how many ways you can hang them!

Hang your socks on a hanger in the hallway, or on the stairs, or next to it:

If you want to hang it by the fireplace (but there isn’t one), then make an improvised one:

Absolutely any hanger with hooks, a strong rope or just a thick branch will be suitable for socks:

It is not necessary to embroider socks, and then also sew them (not everyone likes or knows how to do this). You can knit socks and even buy regular ones, but with New Year’s prints.

Great idea with photos!

So, let's find out how to decorate an apartment for the New Year 2017 with your own hands in the last minutes - quickly and stylishly.

Where to start expressly decorating your apartment for the New Year

First, you need to look around and understand what you already have for holiday decor, and what you just need to purchase. Many materials can be found not in expensive stores, but right under your nose: in the nearest square, park or forest you can find fir branches, cones, and so on.

All New Year's apartment decor for 2017 should be in traditional colors - red, green, gold, white, blue, as well as the color of the coming year. In 2017, the Year of the Fire Rooster is coming and, since the element of the year is fire, the main color can be shades of red, orange, and you can also pay attention to gold.

Do not overload the interior with all kinds of crafts, applications, figurines and other things. It is quite suitable to have a couple of elements that can be combined with each other, which will be the focus.

Ideas for decorating an apartment for the New Year 2017

We present to your attention several interesting and simple ideas For New Year's decoration apartments in 2017! These methods can be easily implemented if you have very little time left. So, let's start decorating the apartment for the New Year 2017 - the Year of the Rooster!

1. Spruce branches

We always associate the smell of spruce with New Year celebrations. And the easiest way to fill your apartment with a festive mood is to bring a few spruce branches and place them in the rooms. And if you also decorate the fir branches with tinsel and small ones, this will become an alternative to the traditional Christmas tree!

The branches can be covered with special non-melting snow, placed in flowerpots or vases, or simply hung from a chandelier. Fast and original!

2. Festive wreath

In the West, it has long been an established fashion to hang it on the front door, above the fireplace, and so on. This simple item serves as a kind of amulet for your family. You can weave a wreath yourself; it’s quite easy to do. And if there is no time, desire or energy left, there is a way out - buy a ready-made wreath!

Surely, there are Christmas sales in your city, where local hand-makers (people who make goods with their own hands) exhibit their work. Often at these sales markets, which usually take place in shopping centers, for example, you can find stunning handmade wreaths with the addition of various interesting elements: from rowan berries and cones to satin ribbons and cinnamon sticks. Of course, on New Year's Eve, namely December 31, when you have only a couple of hours before the New Year's party, it can be problematic to find such a decoration, but it is quite possible.

If spending money on a wreath is also not an option, you can replace the usual wreath of spruce branches with an art object!
