Decorating a house before the New Year, Christmas, I want to create something new, unusual, while remaining, however, within the framework of traditions. More and more people are turning to rustic decor. Quite modest, not flashy jewelry, a return to rural life with its straightforwardness, natural materials - these are the main features of the rustic style.
New Year is a joyful, cheerful holiday, which should be remembered when choosing decor details.
A real tree is desirable, large, with a beautiful top and shining garlands. Christmas decorations should be large, clear - cardboard snowflakes covered with whitewash, bows made of bleached linen, large light balls, forest animals, carriages, stars and crescents. There should be something deliberate in the simplicity of design, closeness to rural reality, but by no means a repetition of a bright and carefree country style.
Decorations of rooms - dining room, kitchen, living room are made of burlap, bleached linen, natural wood, tree bark, roots.
Amazing garland of log cuts with congratulations, a boot cut out of plywood for gif.webpts, open pine cones slightly sprinkled with white or silver paint.
A little imagination - and an ordinary tin bucket magically turns into a Christmas still life.
Wreaths are a mandatory adherence to traditions, they can be knitted from lush spruce branches or from smooth vines, but they are always decorated with ribbons, albeit linen, candles.
In the kitchen, it is good to attach a spruce branch on the wall, an analogue of a large Christmas tree, with small toys from grandmother's chest. Decorate the walls of the nursery with large plywood stars, snowmen, snowflakes, reindeer.
Candles are an integral part of the holiday. Large and small, thick and thin, mostly straight cylindrical, but also twisted, tied with scarlet braid. Candlesticks can be made of bark - beautifully, stylishly, in a New Year's way.
The main Christmas tree toy - the ball - also follows the chosen somewhat brutal rustic style. These are not fragile mirror balls, although there will be a place for such at the holiday. These are balls with rope loops twisted from a braid cut from burlap and bleached linen, you can cover them with a checkered fabric.
Even lace, an indispensable element of rural life, is woven from a dense twisted thread.
Tablecloths, napkins shine with linen white, edged with homemade lace. The tall bed is proud of a mountain of pillows in linen pillowcases with a stitching, lace valance.
