Main color scheme 2022 - Year of the Tiger
The year 2022 will be guarded by the Blue Water Tiger. Astrologers say that he loves lush decor, rich colors and delicious food - just what you need for the perfect holiday! Therefore, we spare no time and effort to decorate the house, especially the Christmas tree.
Based on the color of the mascot, it follows that the main colors of the year are blue, blue, silver, gray, white, black and gold.
Silver tinsel, balls and bells will perfectly complement the deep green of the needles, these colors do not conflict, but mutually emphasize each other. Brown, on the other hand, is well dosed: toys with a “tasty” chocolate theme accentuate yellow or gold tinsel well.
All shades of silver are recommended to celebrate the New Year, but if you don't believe in horoscopes, you can dress up the tree in any color.
You can combine the pleasant with the tasty, and decorate the interior with oranges, nuts, cinnamon sticks, coffee beans. Here are your favorite shades and mouth-watering aromas. And of course, do not forget to put some grass under the Christmas tree, the symbol of the year will definitely be appreciated!
How to decorate a Christmas tree for New Year 2022 in different styles
Today, rarely does anyone decorate a Christmas tree just like that, without a concept and stylistic direction. And rightly so, because the unity in the decor makes the room harmonious and atmospheric. And there are a lot of styles. Choose what is close to you and your family!
Country
Cozy, home surroundings of the hinterland. Touching and original, today it conquers cities. Concrete boxes lack warmth and simplicity so much that country music has become one of the most popular styles for home decoration. And the geography of the hinterland is not so important. Despite the fact that French Provence will differ from the decoration of a Russian hut, they will have common features, namely, cute hand-made things, a lot of natural textiles, natural shades.
It is on these details that we will focus when we decorate the Christmas tree in country style. In addition to the classic glass balls, spruce can be decorated with miniature wooden figurines, gingerbread or cookies. The more handmade, the more cozy the atmosphere will be. If handicraft is not alien to you, then you can knit lace snowflakes or make small compositions from cinnamon sticks tied with a ribbon or jute, and decorate a New Year's tree with them.
Shabby Chic Jewelry
Shabby chic is the heritage of the English people who value traditions. Residents of Foggy Albion often restored furniture and household items that they inherited, so shabby chic is an aged luxury, beautiful things with a history, a time that has frozen in seemingly ordinary household items. Since shabby chic has become incredibly popular, today it is not difficult to find a ton of themed decor items and Christmas tree decorations.
What elements should you pay attention to:
- Lace, ribbons. Vintage lace bows are easy to make with your own hands.One has only to put the new fabric in a weak tea solution, dry it, tie a beautiful bow, add a thin string of beads and voila - the vintage decoration for the New Year's tree is ready.
- Beads, pendants. English ladies have always had beautiful carved jewelry boxes, a string of pearls was always there. When decorating a herringbone in a shabby chic style, do not forget about beads and elegant, sophisticated pendants.
- Flowers, hearts, bows, stars. All these cute elements, one way or another, are found in rooms decorated in a shabby chic style. Delicate paper roses, aged silver stars, ribbons and lace bows, wood hearts will become a cute and stylish decoration for your New Year tree at the same time.
Eco-style
Everything that nature gives us not only smells delicious and tastes good, but also incredibly beautiful. Cones, acorns, oranges, tangerines, cinnamon sticks, coffee beans are perfect for New Year's compositions with which you can decorate a festive tree. Dried orange slices and whole tangerines, sprinkled with fragrant cloves, and hung on a jute string can easily replace Christmas balls. A garland of acorns and chestnuts instead of synthetic tinsel, and cinnamon sticks and gingerbread will be a good substitute for plastic toys.
New Year's minimalism and Scandinavian style
If pomp is not for you, this is not a reason to deny yourself a holiday and not to decorate the New Year tree at all. Minimalism and scandi are stylish and practical. One has only to put a compact Christmas tree in a beautiful wicker basket, or casually wrap the pot with craft paper, and an incredibly stylish holiday decoration is ready. The tree itself can be left completely without decor, or you can decorate one of the branches with just one, but very original author's toy.
Soviet retro style
Remember what Christmas tree toys you had as a child? Glass owls, pine cones, a clock showing five minutes to midnight, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, so sweet to the heart and almost forgotten with trends in Western and European culture. Go to your grandmother, parents, aunt and uncle, for sure, somewhere far away on the mezzanine lie Soviet toys. Remember your childhood, show the children how the holidays were held when no one knew about Santa Claus yet, and the top of the Christmas tree was decorated with a red Soviet star.
Glamor
Luxury, brilliance, colors, shine of lights! If the Great Gatsby event took place around Christmas, we would have a great tutorial on how to decorate a fir tree in glamor style. But what a fantasy to us! Gold sparkling balls, many small lights of garlands, lush bows, thick candles - do not deny yourself anything!
Vintage
Vintage items are very touching and cute, and if you can find real jewelry with a history, then you are very lucky. And if not, do not despair, the vintage style is very popular and today you can find many toys with an aging effect. These are slightly worn bells, figurines embroidered with bugles, and beautiful glass balls. Complete the party with a themed dress code and enjoy your time travel!
Rustic style
Rustic is original and a little brutal. It is similar to country music, but even more "natural". The abundance of wood and raw textiles, worn metal and natural stone will give the holiday a special atmosphere of unity with nature. Unpainted wooden toys, wicker and metal decorations are ideal for celebrating the New Year in the countryside, in a big house, or a noisy company. It's good if each of the invited guests makes a toy with their own hands and decorates a street tree.
Boho chic
Boho-chic is a riot of colors, textures, ideas. Knitted figurines, balls painted with ethnic patterns, colorful pom-poms and paper garlands are a real feast for body and soul. Boho-chic does not like it when money is spent on it, but he really loves it when they put their soul into it. All decorations can be made by hand.Call your friends, relatives, sit on the floor and create, create, create …
Unusual Christmas trees and their outfits
Someone is tired of traditional spruce and pine trees, someone simply does not have a place or opportunity to install a live spruce, and someone celebrates the New Year 2022 at the workplace. How to be, is there an alternative version of the Christmas tree? Of course not alone! It all depends on your imagination and the materials at hand.
- Wall Christmas tree. In the case when the place does not allow in any way to put a tree, it can be visualized on the wall. Lay out with a garland, beads, spruce (pine) branches, colorful balls. First, attach the base (fabric or thick paper) to the wall, and lay the composition on it. You can fasten the elements with tape, needles and threads, hot melt glue.
- A Christmas tree made of … anything. Spruce can be laid out in a pyramid made of any materials: glass or plastic balls, natural or artificial flowers, books, gif.webpt boxes, and so on, so on … And the resulting pyramid can also be decorated with a garland.
- Professional spruce. At work with colleagues, you too can build an original, creative beauty. Health workers can make a witty Christmas tree out of medical gloves, atelier workers can decorate mannequins beautifully, builders can “dress up” a ladder, and confectioners can make a spruce out of profiteroles. Here is a photo of the most unusual trees.
Christmas combinatorics or classic Christmas tree
If you do not want to dwell on any particular style, but want a classic, beautiful neat Christmas tree, then here are some tips especially for you on how to decorate your house and not turn it into an “explosion at a Christmas tree toys factory”.
Let's start with the basics: first we hang the garlands, then the balls and other toys. Otherwise, there will be a terrible confusion, and it is good if the glass decorations do not break.
- Identical Christmas balls of the same color. It is stylish, concise and neat. This option is more suitable for a small Christmas tree, a large one can quickly tire with monotony.
- Different jewelry in the same color. For example, you have decided that the Christmas tree will be in a golden monochrome scale, but monotonous toys do not suit you, then choose different decorations: balls, bells, bows, stars, deer, etc., but in a gold scale. Very sophisticated and original.
- Same toys in different colors. In such a combination, let it be balls or bells, because you can hardly look at many of the same piglets or deer for a long time. Toys can be of different sizes, preferably from the same series, but in different colors. The result is a spruce - a perfectionist's dream!
- Various toys and colors. It's always very sweet and soulful. Try not to use more than five colors. Dark blue and deep purple, for example, rarely look advantageous against the background of needles, green is lost. A winning combination: shades of red, gold, bronze, white.
- Universal colors for the Christmas tree: gold and silver. Combines with all colors. Gold and red are classic, gold and silver are original and unusual, silver and blue are fresh and modern.
Of course, the main thing in a Christmas tree is not what tinsel to decorate with, but the mood and atmosphere that it creates. Everything else should just give you pleasure, be it a lush shining fir tree under the ceiling, or a small tree in an earthen pot. All with the Coming!
