New Year's decor: main directions

In order for the New Year's atmosphere to bring a holiday to the house, and not disappointment, several basic rules for decorating premises must be observed.

Safety comes first

Do not purchase electrical jewelry and pyrotechnics from dubious sellers. It must be remembered that the materials from which artificial Christmas trees, tinsel and some toys are made are highly inflammable.They should not be placed near open flames. Do not forget that small children and pets can easily break something, smash and injure themselves.

Don't go too far

Having a huge amount of jewelry, I want to use them all at once. No wonder there is a negative expression “dressed like a Christmas tree,” that is, it’s clumsy and tasteless. Too much tinsel, wreaths, toys and figurines randomly placed throughout the room will completely ruin the interior and create a feeling of general clutter.

Stick to a single color scheme

When choosing jewelry, it is first of all to proceed from the interior of the room. In bright rooms, you can pay attention to the silver-white or gold gamut, “classic” New Year colors - red, green, white, will suit dark furniture. Of course, you can always experiment with flowers that are not traditional for this holiday, but then you should strictly observe the selected palette.

Single style

Vintage style is very popular now. Hanging toys from a childhood on a Christmas tree will be a very relevant decision. However, the rest you must also adhere to the selected topics. Agree, the Soviet past in combination with the Scandinavian style and Santa Claus will look extremely ridiculous.

Christmas tree-beauty

The main attribute of the New Year’s interior is, of course, the tree and its choice should be taken with maximum responsibility. It is advisable to buy a living tree as close as possible to the holiday, today both domestic and foreign varieties are presented on the market. The latter are much more expensive, but also look more aesthetically pleasing. The branches are arranged symmetrically, the needles are more fluffy. The main advantage of artificial trees is their durability, which allows saving in the future. Comparison of artificial firs by production material:

From PVC. The material for the manufacture of needles is a polyvinyl chloride film. This material is non-flammable, characterized by great strength, softness and durability.
Molded plastic. The branches of such a Christmas tree are cast in special forms and assembled together. Such a New Year tree will be as similar as possible to the present, which makes it an order of magnitude more expensive than analogues.
From the fishing line. Such trees are familiar to many from Soviet times, but now the manufacturing technology has improved significantly, and the branches of such a tree no longer look like a brush for washing dishes. The fishing line is characterized by durability and wear resistance, however, in comparison with analogues it has a significant drawback - very prickly needles.
From fiber optic. Fiber-optic filaments powered by a 12W adapter are built into the design. The decoration of such Christmas trees does not require the use of electric garlands, and sometimes even additional toys.

Choosing the appropriate option, one should proceed from the budget and the interior of the room in which the New Year tree will be located.

Christmas decorations

That's where the range of goods offered is truly huge. A variety of shapes, colors and styles will satisfy every taste and budget, from the simplest plastic balls to designer gemstone jewelry. Types of materials used to make toys:

Plastic. The most popular and durable material. Most products are made of plastics. Such jewelry will last for many years and will not lose its aesthetic qualities.
Glass. Despite the obvious drawback - fragility, such toys do not lose their popularity, because they look at the Christmas tree most favorably. The glass surface reflects glare, glistens and attracts the eye. Of course, they need careful handling and storage.
Natural materials. Eco-design is becoming increasingly popular every year.Toys made of fabric, wood, paper, cardboard, natural cones and even dried flowers and fruits will look very original.

Most of these jewelry can be made with your own hands, which makes them truly exclusive. When buying Christmas toys, it is worth remembering about safety. Families with babies should not use too expensive and fragile things. It will be much more interesting to craft something with your own hands or to decorate the branches with gingerbread and sweets that kids love so much.

Christmas lights

And of course, the main attribute that creates an indescribable festive atmosphere is flickering garlands. They allow you to decorate the Christmas tree, walls, furniture, windows and facades of buildings. Their variety can be classified as follows:

By the type of light sources: lamp and LED.
By type of wire: PVC, silicone and rubber.
At the place of application: used on the streets and in the premises.
Power sources: from a network and from batteries.
Forms: classic string garlands, nets, curtains, icicles.

In addition, garlands vary in color, type of flicker, design. There are musical garlands that mimic the burning of candles and even fireworks. And every year, designers offer all new options.

New Year's table

The last, but no less important point of creating a festive atmosphere is the stylish decoration of the New Year's table. The catalogs of many designer jewelry and interior decoration stores offer a whole line of New Year's textiles and tableware. However, here the main rule will be - do not overdo it. If the choice falls on a bright tablecloth with a catchy themed pattern, it is better to choose plain plates and napkins. Perhaps you should prefer disposable tableware, the more manufacturers now offer sets of good quality and stylish design. Such a serving will look much more attractive than the old variegated plates and wine glasses. In any case, no matter what kind of jewelry or decoration the choice falls on, the main thing is to approach it with imagination, creativity and responsibility. Beautiful, high-quality things will last a long time, will be combined with each other and will help you immerse yourself in a New Year's fairy tale beloved from childhood!
