We decorate a one-room apartment for the New Year (55 photos)

New Year is just around the corner, Christmas tree markets are already working, and people are starting to think about how to decorate their apartments for the holiday. We will give some tips on how to turn the apartment with your own hands into a place where the happy New Year will certainly come.

Choosing a Christmas tree - choosing a strategy

The key element of New Year's decor is, of course, the Christmas tree. Owners of one-room apartments are limited in space, so you will have to refuse to buy large fir trees, both artificial and living. There are three alternatives:

• A small live spruce (or any other coniferous tree). Its advantages are obvious: she is beautiful, she smells nice. But a living Christmas tree has two serious drawbacks: firstly, it leaves behind itself heaps of needles, and, secondly, after the New Year, it will have to be thrown out.
• Little artificial spruce. It looks almost like a real one, does not leave trash after itself, and the smell can be created using special flavors. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, disassembled takes up very little space, which is especially important for owners of one-room apartments.
• Branches. The most economical option. From branches there is less garbage and it will not be a pity to throw them out. In addition, they can be decorated with small Christmas tree decorations. A coniferous branch is an excellent center for New Year's composition.

It is worth noting that, whatever option you choose, it should become the compositional center of your New Year's decor.

Create cosiness

Another decor element without which it is difficult to imagine the New Year is tinsel. She perfectly creates a festive mood, not requiring much space. For example, it can decorate chandeliers, curtains and mirrors. When choosing tinsel, it is worth remembering that the color of the next year is blue, so you should give preference to decorations of this particular color and continue to be guided by this in the formation of the festive decor.

Candles are perfect for creating a romantic atmosphere, which is especially true if you intend to meet the coming year alone with a loved one. When placing candles, it is worth remembering fire safety: you do not want the holiday to be overshadowed by fire? A few candles, a little tinsel - and with your own hands you turned an ordinary one-room apartment into a place where a Christmas miracle can happen!

Space saving principles

There is not much space in the one-room apartment, and no matter how much we would like to make it as elegant and “New Year's” as possible, we should not forget that we not only celebrate, but also live in it. New Year's decor (as, indeed, any other) should not interfere with your life. Here are some tips for organizing your space:

• Put the tree in the corner. So it will take up less space. In addition, if it is alive, you can show it the most “profitable” side. Put the spruce in front of the reflecting surface (a mirror or a cabinet with glass doors), turn on the garland - and you will see that you have done the magic with your own hands!
• Do not try to “one year old” everything. It is better to create several compositional centers in such a way that it does not interfere with your life.For example, do not decorate drawers or cabinet doors that you constantly use. Do not forget that jewelry is usually light and fragile, so it is better to place them where you can not harm them.
• Use bright and shiny decorations to visually expand the space of the room.
• Do not hang tinsel or garlands on the ceiling, especially if it is low. This will make the room visually smaller and prevent a stormy celebration: you can accidentally rip off such decorations with your hands.
• The holiday begins at the doorstep. Place a few decorations next to or opposite the front door so that anyone who enters immediately imbues the spirit of the New Year.

Symbol of the year in the interior

According to the Chinese calendar, the next year is the year of the blue (wooden) Horse. Get some small horse figurines or make them yourself. You can either place them under the tree, or use them as individual parts of the decor. However, you should not get carried away and place too much: the Horse does not like excessive attention, but calm and comfort, and with your decisions you must show your respect for the symbol of the coming year.

It will be great if one or more decorations for the New Year tree or home are made with your hands: the horse loves hard work. It is not necessary to do something complicated: you yourself or with your children can make several snowflakes from napkins, Christmas decorations from improvised materials.

Total

Festive decor is not an easy task, especially when it comes to such an important event as the celebration of the New Year. It may seem that in the conditions of one-room living, when every square centimeter counts, it is simply impossible to create an elegant and harmonious interior, but this is not so. Be sure you can do it yourself with your own hands to create a winter fairy tale in your apartment, you just need to want it!
