2021 is coming soon. How quickly time flies! But not only years are running away, but also hours, minutes, seconds. If you want to feel the New Year approaching in advance and celebrate it without fuss and haste, start decorating your home right now. Ideas New Year's decor are already in the air, and many of them can be suggested by children who will gladly take part in this pleasant and exciting process. Moreover, the children do not need to be urged on or rushed, and they themselves can easily add something new every day and gradually bring the festive interior to perfection. You may have to buy some, but most of the decorations can be made with your own hands from what you can find around the house.

Color matters: the main tone of New Year's decor

Recommendations for choosing colors cannot serve as the ultimate truth. New Year's decor should fit harmoniously into the existing interior and only give it an elegant, festive look. But some tips may be useful.

Green, the color of pine needles, will be present in any case. To dilute it, you need to use not the entire rainbow palette, but only two or three contrasting tones. It is better to give preference to New Year's colors - red, gold, silver. Saturated ones also look good, bright shades purple, blue, turquoise.

You can arrange everything in one color scheme- it is very effective and stylish option. Just don't forget about compatibility. If the interior of the apartment is designed in cold colors, choose the appropriate color scheme and silver, to warm shades add gold and red New Year's colors.

Several Christmas trees in the house - easy and simple

You don’t want to cover your walls with tinsel and garlands, and you don’t need to. But New Year It’s not a holiday without a Christmas tree, so we definitely put up a forest beauty. Everything is simple here: we prepared some free space, carried out an audit of last year’s toys, determined what needs to be purchased, and you can decorate the main one.

But, if you approach the issue creatively, you can not buy the missing toys, but make them yourself. And one more thing - in every room you can find a place for a homemade Christmas tree, and let the holiday be felt throughout the apartment at once.

Additional trees can be:

• – from beads, garlands, photographs,
• from scrap materials - wooden sticks, pine cones, pasta,
• – tinsel, rain, sweets and everything that comes to mind are glued onto the cone,
• knitted or collected from small balls,
• branches beautiful shape with silver or gold plating,
• ordinary indoor plant, properly decorated.

Just let the trees not be of the same type, but different in texture, shape and method of execution.

And now - toys. Made with love and imagination, they will turn your New Year into the warmest, most soulful and cozy holiday. You can wrap simple Christmas tree balls with scraps of fabric, knit clothes with them from colored yarn, paint them with acrylic paints, make compositions from pine cones, and funny felt figures. Bake in the shape of stars and Christmas trees with a small hole for a ribbon and hang it on the branches - both tasty and beautiful.

Decorating windows and doors

The windows are the eyes of the house, the door is the face. Let your apartment look at the world and greets guests with joy.

Let's start with the windows:

• place compositions of branches, pine cones and candles on the windowsills,
• arrange and hang bright New Year's balls,
• cut from plastic bottles or thick paper,
• make garlands from flags, funny figures, Christmas socks.

If you are interested in or are simply familiar with this technique, create fairy-tale, illuminated, magical figures and winter scenes.

Doors are usually decorated with wreaths. Get creative, create your own wreath or improve an existing one. Everything comes into play:

• dried citrus slices,
• winter berries – rowan, cranberry,
• cut flower buds,
• bright lollipops,
• corks, beads,
• cones, coniferous branches, ribbons,
• bows, tinsel, garlands.

A wreath can be used to decorate not only a door, but also a wall, window, furniture or chandelier.

New Year's lighting and table setting

New Year is unthinkable without candles. Let there be many of them, make beauty with your own hands. Arrange white and colored candles in glass vases, glasses, ordinary jars, one-third full sea ​​salt or red berries, wrap with cinnamon sticks, cover with green twigs.

A composition with a live fire will come in handy anywhere, and especially in the center of a festive dinner. It is better to set the table in the same colors that predominate in the interior decoration. Each plate can be equipped with the name of the guest or a small card with a wish. The dishes are to your taste, but it is very desirable to depict some New Year’s symbol on each one.

A Christmas tree, tinsel on the furniture and paper snowflakes on the windows are a standard set of New Year's decorations. But if you put in a little effort and use our ideas on how to decorate an apartment for the New Year 2020, you can turn it into a real corner of magic. Celebrating the New Year allows you to experience many happy moments with family, friends and loved ones, so it is important to prepare your home for this event.

This is a great opportunity to show off creativity. You don't have to spend a lot of money; you can make most decorations yourself or repurpose common items.

Window decoration requires special care. On the one hand, an excess of snowflakes, garlands or designs interferes with the penetration of sunlight, which is already scarce in winter; on the other hand, you will soon need to wash off or remove all this beauty.

Openwork snowflakes made of paper or colored drawings on glass glued to windows using soap are the most common way to simply and inexpensively decorate an apartment for the New Year.

If you want something out of the ordinary, try these ideas:

• Transparent window stickers . When PVA glue dries, it forms a film - flexible and transparent; on glass, such a film creates the effect of frosty patterns. To make stickers, make stencils out of paper; the patterns on them should be large, since the glue tends to spread. Coat the stencils cling film, put it in a bag or file folder, and then put glue into a syringe and carefully fill in the drawings. After the glue has dried, remove the stickers from the film and apply to the glass.
• Volumetric drawings . To create snowflakes and any other shapes on glass, you can use volumetric paints. They are sold in stores, but there are several ways to make them at home using salt, water, flour, and food coloring. Such designs on the windows look embossed and unusual, but you should not get carried away with them, otherwise the room will become dark during the day.
• Vertical window garlands . Shiny threads with voluminous stars or snowflakes, circles made of foil and thick cardboard, or thin garlands of fir branches and red ribbons have a spectacular look. You can give such decorations a finished and neat shape if you use details different sizes- large at the top and small at the ends.
• Frame with toys . Take a big photo frame and paint it bright color and zigzag pull the ribbon inside like a Christmas tree stylization. Attach Christmas decorations to it and hang the frame in the window opening, and then fix it by gluing it directly to the glass.

If the width of the window sill allows, then various decorations can also be placed on it, but best option- lush pine branches intertwined with ribbons, or figures cut out of paper along the entire width of the lower edge of the window.

When decorating an apartment for the New Year, interior doors are often left unattended. The maximum that is used for their decoration is “Christmas trees” made of tinsel, small wreaths or plastic snowflakes. To some extent, this is justified - the main festive mood is created by the accessories and decorations in the room, but it is the door that guests and owners see before entering the room. Decor interior door must support general style, but do not distract attention from it.

How you can decorate the doors of your apartment for the New Year:

• Big snowflake . Take thick cardboard and cut out strips, triangles, circles and other shapes of different sizes from it. Using glue, connect them into a large voluminous snowflake. WITH reverse side Attach the fir branches so that their ends fit between the rays of the snowflake. Hang the structure on satin ribbon on the door.
• Delicious wreath . Make a base for the wreath out of cardboard and glue the halves of large foam balls onto it. Cover them with shiny paint and insert toothpicks at a distance of 1–2 cm, onto which you then place colorful marmalade or soft candies. It is better to hang such a wreath on December 31, otherwise it risks not surviving until the New Year.

Finally, doors with glass inserts can be decorated in the same way as windows - with drawings or garlands, and the doorway can be decorated with fir branches.

How to decorate a room for the New Year

It would seem that taking a Christmas tree from the mezzanine, hanging several garlands on the furniture and walls, laying out tinsel on the shelves - what could be simpler? But the line is when new Year decoration become redundant and out of place, easy to move on. How to decorate an apartment for New Year 2020 so that it does not turn into a warehouse for tinsel and Christmas tree decorations?

Colors

Classic New Year's color schemes– snow-white interspersed with metal and gold, red-green with silver details and pastel with lots of sparkles. If the soul demands bright colors, it is important not to overdo it - multi-colored decorations look best in rooms with a minimalist design. Choose one primary color and use it in at least half of your decor.

Accessories

New Year's decorations are not only toys and tinsel. Candles in a beautiful candlestick, a tablecloth with embroidered snowflakes and even a refrigerator stylized as a snowman will bring their own touch of holiday to the apartment.

Accents

To decorate small apartment for the New Year 2020, it’s enough to decorate it festively open shelf on the wall or two or three small item such as a mirror, lamp or clock. As an option, decorations can be unobtrusively “fitted” into the interior, for example, in a room with predominant white and metallic shades, put a light artificial Christmas tree with silver balls.

Crafts

Unique homemade decorations will attract the attention of guests, and creating them is a great way to spend family time on cold winter evenings.

A few general ideas on how to decorate your apartment for the New Year with your own hands:

• Personalized Home Decor . Art poster dedicated to your family history or New Year's traditions, a poster with the lyrics of your favorite New Year's songs, stories and poems, a thematic collage is a great way to bring a special atmosphere of comfort and family celebration.
• Regular decorations in unusual design . A Christmas tree made of wire, tinsel or other improvised materials, Santa Claus, Snowman and reindeer made of cotton wool, paper or papier-mâché, and Christmas decorations made of beads or fabric create a feeling of a warm homely touch that cannot be achieved with store-bought decorations.
• Magic paper . You can create real works of art from white or colored paper. Stars folded using origami technique paper lanterns, voluminous and elegant carved snowflakes do not require much effort and time, but are always appropriate.
• Edible decorations . Creating Christmas tree decorations from sweets and tangerines, garlands from candies and figurines from sweets and nuts should be left for New Year's Eve, especially if there are children in the house. You can use silver or gold food coloring to decorate them.
• Natural materials . Real, twigs or dried flowers, covered with gold or silver paint, dusted with “snow,” almost always look advantageous and unusual.
• Use children's creativity . Let Santa Claus, drawn by a 4-5 year old child, be more reminiscent of Freddy Krueger, and in the broken figures one can more easily recognize the work of the impressionists than the image of a Christmas tree. Use handprints, footprints, crafts made from plasticine or paper - this will add spontaneity to the interior, and guests will be able to appreciate the creativity of the young designer.

Beautiful jewelry doesn't have to be complicated to make. A simple snowflake made of white paper, after being coated with silver paint, takes on a noble appearance, and candles or a photo frame with attached metal flakes become real designer works.

So, we decorate the house for the New Year with crafts from minimal investment effort and time:

• Refrigerator snowman . You will need acrylic paints black, orange (or red) and two or three other colors. At the top of the refrigerator draw eyes, a carrot nose and a mouth, a little lower - a striped scarf across the entire width of the door and buttons. After the holidays, the paint can be washed off with a special solvent.
• Mini-trees made of pine cones . Paint the tips of the scales of the fir cones with silver, gold, or even better - green with glitter paint, place a small foil star on top and place it in a small candlestick. These Christmas trees can also be used to decorate a New Year’s table.
• Shiny dandelions . Using large foam balls (available at craft stores), toothpicks and glitter paint, you can create amazingly beautiful spiked balls. They can be used as Christmas tree decorations or for room decoration.
• Calendar "with a secret" . Do you remember how, as a child, you counted how many days were left until the New Year? An unusual calendar will reduce the waiting time for the holiday. Take a strip of fabric or wallpaper - this will be the basis for the craft. The width depends on where you place it, such as the side of a cabinet or a door. And the length depends on who the gifts are intended for - it is unlikely that a child will reach a height of two meters. Divide the base into sectors according to the number of days remaining until December 31, and attach a beautiful bag or small decorated one to each with a pin, hook, Velcro or ties. paper bag. Place sweets, souvenirs, fun tasks in them and open one bag every day.

How to decorate the front door in an apartment and the outside of a house

Most often, if the owners decorate the front door or the house itself, they use the residual principle - they hang up what is not useful or is not a pity: tinsel that has lost its presentation, standard pictures with holiday symbols, garlands in which, at best, half of the light bulbs have been preserved.

The following ideas will help you simply and originally decorate your home for the New Year with your own hands.

Congratulations from scrap materials. The usual phrase “Happy New Year!” can be designed in such a way that it will attract the attention and questions of guests:

• Using a thick cardboard template, cut out a phrase from green felt and glue them together to add density. You can use red ribbons as decoration, for example, attach bows or make a border.
• Use jute rope to decorate the template, tying it tightly around the letters. For decoration, take pieces of bright red or green felt - cut them in the shape of a Christmas tree, a star, or a bag of gifts.
• Take a children's chalk board and decorate its frame as your imagination tells you - with paint, ribbons, pine cones, paper snowflakes. Write a congratulation with regular chalk, and you can change the inscription if desired, for example, add the phrase “Welcome” if you are expecting guests.
• From an ordinary large photo frame you can make a background for congratulatory inscription. If the frame is beautiful and unusual, then you can simply cover it with glitter and add a couple of decorative details - twigs, bells, Christmas tree decorations. Hide a simple wooden frame under silver paper snowflakes, tie it with colored ribbons or attach fir cones. Attach a congratulation cut out of colored paper inside the frame.

Figures of Santa Claus, Snowman and Pig to decorate the apartment for the New Year 2020. The easiest way is to make them from colored felt and decorate them with shiny elements - beads, seed beads, buttons. You can assemble figures from cardboard parts tied with colored jute threads.

Openwork bells . Roll the paper into a cone to form a bell. Cover it with glue and then wrap it with white or colored threads, do not forget to leave a hole at the top for the tape. Wait for the glue to dry and remove paper form. You can spray the bell with shiny varnish and decorate it with small details.

Garland of fir branches . If the doorway allows, then you can make something amazing out of branches, light bulbs, pine cones, red ribbons and silver snowflakes. beautiful design. A voluminous garland made of lush pine branches and large details looks best, so this is a great option for decorating a house for New Year 2020, but it may not be suitable for an apartment in a high-rise building.

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.
