How to decorate a house for the New Year

Deciding to decorate the house for the New Year, first of all it is necessary to decide on the concept of design. This is done so that the dressed upNew Year's tree and New Year's festive table did not "fall out" from the general decor of the room. It's not at all necessary to come up with a complex concept, it's enough just to limit the selection of the primary colors that you will use for design. "Traditional" New Year colors and combinations - white, blue, golden, silver, red with green, blue with silver.

If you want to decorate the house for the New Year in an original way, striking your guests with an unusual decor, you can try to create thematic New Year's decor. It can be an interior in the style of a traditionalEnglish Christmas - with socks for gifts over the fireplace, ornaments from the mistletoe and holly in the doorways, Christmas wreaths on the doors and thick Christmas candles on the windowsill.

If the traditional New Year-Christmas decoryou are bored, and you miss the warm countries - why not arrange an Hawaiian party and imagine that the window is not snow drifts, and the warm sea and sandy beach. To decorate the house on New Year's Eve for an Hawaiian party, you will need exotic fruits, bright flowers (living or artificial), as much as possible indoor plants. Instead of a tree, you can dress a palm tree in a tub or any other tall house plant. By analogy with Hawaii, you can make a New Year's interior in African, Oriental or Greek style.

If you decide to give preference to the traditional New Year decor, you can use for this purpose whatever you want: paper garlands and garlands from othermaterials, tinsel, Christmas toys, satin ribbons and bows of them, New Year's ikebans, candles, etc. In addition to the New Year's tree, garlands and tinsel can be hung on walls, chandeliers, floor lamps, furniture, etc. From the tinsel, you can also make a frame for a mirror, and if you insert a wire into it, you can use tinsel to create voluminous compositions.

"Dilute" the artificial "rain" and tinsel will help green plants: branches of coniferous trees (pine, spruce, fir, etc.)) and deciduous plants. Traditional New Year's plants include mistletoe, holly (holly) and "Christmas star" punch. You can begin a month before the New Year to sprout from bulbs tulips or daffodils. And if two weeks before the New Year you put a few branches with buds in the water, the first leaves will appear on them for the holiday.

Spruce and pine branches can be decorated artificial snow. The easiest way is to buy a readyartificial snow in the can. Still it is possible to smear branches with glue and to strew a grated foam on a grater (for example, from packing of home appliances) or finely chopped rain. Another way to create artificial snow takes time. You will need to make a hot concentrated salt solution (for this purpose it is convenient to use a basin or a large bowl). In this solution, a fir or pine branch is dipped and left for the night. In the morning, the branch should be removed from the solution and dried. When the water evaporates, white salt crystals remain on the needles - just like snow.

Do not forget decorate the windows. To do this, you need to buy artificial snow orfrost in aerosol and apply it to the window (you can use a stencil to apply a specific pattern or write a congratulation on the New Year). Some people prefer to draw pictures on the windows with paint. This is a very elegant option, which will significantly enliven your interior. The main thing is to use easily washable colors, for example, gouache or watercolor. Another way to decorate the windows is to cut out a lot of different snowflakes from the paper and stick them on the window with the usual soap.

However, when creating a New Year's interior, do not forget about security: all decorations need to be well strengthened, especially if the house has small children or animals. Take care that they do not have the opportunity to try tinsel or "rain" on the palate.

New Year decor will help you create festive atmosphere. To decorate a house for the New Year is one of the ways to make a holiday the way it was in childhood: unusual and magical.
