New Year's decor of your house

Of course, first comes to mind traditional New Year decor: a Christmas tree with toys, serpentine, "rain", tinsel,cut out of paper or foil snowflakes on the windows ... The option is a win-win, proven for years, but it's pretty bored. Can I think of something more original?

New Year's decor (and indeed any decor of the room) starts with an idea. First decide which one you want to see yourapartment during the holiday, and only then think about how you will implement this and what you need for this. Virtually any idea can be implemented with a minimum of costs, if you show a little imagination.

Always relevant New Year's decor in the style of the coming year in the Chinese calendar. The symbol of 2012 is the black water Dragon, fromthis can be repelled. There are several options. You can simply decorate the apartment in the oriental style, using a variety of Feng Shui souvenirs. It does not have to be stylized to China; why not, let's say, try to reproduce a Japanese tea house with a low table and cushions on the floor?

You can push away from color and elements of the coming year. Of course, black color may seem toogloomy, but not necessarily make it dominant in the interior. In addition, black is very advantageously combined with gold and silver colors, so it is possible to use the decor elements made in this color solution. And if you really do not like these colors, you can make New Year decor on the "sea theme", turning the New Year's party into a beach party.

If you have a monochrome interior (i.e. made in one color - white, green, any other), you can build a New Year decor on a combination of colors. It is meant that the main design of the room is made in one color, and all elements of the New Year's decor are of a different color. You can choose a harmonious combination of colors or contrast, depending on the effect that you want to achieve. From the harmonious combinations we can name the following:

• 
  red: blue, white, pink, golden yellow, orange, black, silver;
• 
  orange: gray, black, green, ocher, yellow, pink, red, white;
• 
  green: lime, lime, blue, black, yellow;
• 
  blue: turquoise, green, gray, golden, purple, red;
• 
  purple: light green, orange, gold, lilac, pink, gray-blue, blue, white;
• 
  pink: coffee, lemon, gray, beige, white, red;
• 
  yellow: shades of brown, black, blue, green, white;
• 
  brown: gold, blue, beige, white;
• 
  blue: light green, purple, gray, blue, white;
• 
  gray: blue, green, pink, black.

For example, if your interior is decorated inpurple tones, you can quite make New Year's decor in golden color: golden tinsel, gold foil snowflakes, chocolate coins hanging around the room in a golden wrapper. Christmas tree is also desirable to dress in a single color scheme, if the opportunity allows - such a "monophonic" tree is always very beautiful and stylish looks.

Of course, this scheme of color compatibility is exemplary, in each case one must look at the compatibility of two specific shades. Can instead of playing harmony in contrastif you are sure that you will be comfortable insuch an interior. So, in contrast, a traditional "Christmas" color combination - red and green - was built. You can choose the basic motive of the New Year's decor checkered "Scotch": covers for chairs, table cloth, napkins, drapery - and your house is transformed!

You can still make New Year's decor in retro style. Find a box of New Years on the mezzaninetoys of the Soviet times, if you still have them, or ask around grandparents - suddenly they still have? Let somewhere they peeled and faded, but it is these toys that will help restore the festive atmosphere from childhood. You can hang Soviet postcards on the walls. Even if you do not have them, now you can find such cards on the Internet and print them.
