The year 2022 is coming soon. How quickly time flies! But not only the years run away, but also the hours, minutes, seconds. If you want to feel the approach of the New Year in advance, meet it without fuss and rush - start decorating your home right now.
Ideas for New Year's decor are already in the air, and many of them can be suggested by children, who will gladly take part in this pleasant and exciting process. Moreover, the children do not need to be rushed or rushed, and you yourself can safely add something new every day and gradually bring the festive interior to perfection. You may have to buy something, but most of the jewelry can be made with your own hands from what is in the house.
Color matters: the main tone of the New Year's decor
Recommendations for choosing a color scheme cannot serve as the ultimate truth. New Year's decor should harmoniously fit into the existing interior and only give it an elegant, festive look. But some tips might be helpful.
Green, the color of the needles, will be present in any case. To dilute it, you need to attract not the entire rainbow palette, but only two or three contrasting tones. It is better to give preference to New Year's colors - red, gold, silver. Saturated, bright shades of purple, blue, turquoise also look good.
You can arrange everything in one color scheme - this is a very effective and stylish option. Just don't forget about compatibility. If the interior of the apartment is designed in cold colors, choose the appropriate range and silver, add gold and red New Year's color to the warm shades.
Several trees in the house - easy and simple
You don’t want to hang the walls with tinsel and garlands, and you don’t need to. But the New Year without a Christmas tree is not a holiday, so we set the forest beauty by all means. Everything is simple here: we prepared a free space, conducted an audit of last year's toys, determined what needs to be purchased, and you can decorate the main New Year's attribute.
But, if you approach the issue creatively, you can not buy the missing toys, but do it yourself. And yet - in every room you can find a place for a homemade Christmas tree, and let the holiday be felt throughout the apartment at once.
Additional trees can be:
- wall - from beads, garlands, photographs,
- from scrap materials - wooden sticks, cones, pasta,
- paper trees - tinsel, rain, candies and whatever comes to mind are glued to the cone,
- knitted or collected from small glomeruli,
- beautifully shaped branches with silver or gold plating,
- ordinary houseplants, properly decorated.
Just let the trees not be of the same type, but different in texture, shape and method of execution.
And now - toys. Made with love and imagination, they will turn your New Year into the warmest, most soulful and cozy holiday. You can wrap simple Christmas balls with shreds of fabric, knit clothes made of colored yarn, paint with acrylic paints, make compositions from cones, funny felt figures. Bake Christmas cookies in the shape of stars and Christmas trees with a small hole for a ribbon and hang them on the branches - both delicious and beautiful.
We decorate windows and doors
The windows are the eyes of the house, the door is the face. Let your apartment look at the world around you and welcome guests with joy.
Let's start with windows:
- arrange the compositions of their branches, cones and candles on the windowsills,
- lay out and hang bright Christmas balls,
- cut out beautiful snowflakes from plastic bottles or thick paper,
- make garlands of flags, funny figurines, Christmas socks.
If you are fond of creating vytynanka or are simply familiar with this technique, create fabulous paper houses with lighting, magic figurines and winter scenes.
It is customary to decorate doors with wreaths. Imagine, create your own wreath or improve an existing one. Everything is used:
- dried citrus slices,
- winter berries - mountain ash, cranberries,
- cut flower buds,
- bright candies,
- corks, beads,
- cones, coniferous branches, ribbons,
- bows, tinsel, garlands.
You can decorate not only a door with a wreath, but also a wall, window, furniture or a chandelier. 
New Year's lighting and table setting
The New Year is unthinkable without candles. Let there be a lot of them, make beauty with your own hands. Arrange white and colored candles in glass vases, glasses, ordinary jars, one-third filled with sea salt or red berries, wrap with cinnamon sticks, paste over with green twigs.
Composition with live fire will come in handy anywhere, and especially in the center of a festive dinner. It is better to serve the table in the same colors that prevail in the interior decoration. Each plate can be furnished with a paper Christmas tree with the name of the guest or a small greeting card. Dishes to your taste, but it is very desirable to depict some New Year's symbol on each one.
Decorate your home with love, connect everyone at home, and you will have real pleasure. And also - a nice bonus in the form of quite tangible savings, since you can create all the New Year's beauty with your own hands. Enjoy your winter evenings and a Happy New Year!
