How to combine all this into a common composition depends on the chosen style, and it must be sustained. Table setting according to the principle - all the best is immediately excluded. The tiger, although a harsh predator, is a delicate thing at heart with good taste and a sense of proportion.
It is logical to assume that she likes the village, nature, gentle or brutal simplicity. This is true, but fun country, rough rustic, dreamy eco, shy shabby chic should please you too. If there is no harmony, joy goes away.
New Year's table in different styles
If you prefer asceticism, gloss, originality - act. Do not break yourself for the sake of any stereotypes. Yes and no at all - the Tiger will be glad to any treat. Therefore, you can choose any option for serving the New Year's table, even an intricate rustic, even a modest Japanese one. A few varied examples will help you find the right direction.
Country
Bright and positive, with its decoration it repeats the favorite colors of Christmas - white, red, green. The red and white range dominates - tablecloths and napkins, drawing on cutlery, wrapping small surprises or greeting cards for guests.
Decorations - cones, spruce branches, inflorescences of winter berries, lollipop sticks. They are placed in small groups near each plate, in the center, in a separate composition on a wooden board or a knitted rough napkin. Candles are simple white, large enough.
The second option is soft at home. A snow-white or in a calm cage tablecloth, warm linen of napkins sets off the coolness of white plates and glass without gilding.Reindeer carvings lurk near pottery dishes, wooden planks of snacks. And yet - this is country! A green branch winds between the dishes, there are white candles in the candlesticks, and rowan clusters are scattered.
Boho chic
If you want to decorate the New Year's feast brightly, effectively, unusual - for you boho-chic style. Hand-made elements at the base give a wide scope for imagination and self-expression. Crocheted and macrame napkins, paths, tablecloths are actively used in the table setting.
Dishes from different sets are welcome, subject to brightness and non-standard shapes. It's good if you have preserved glasses from the last century, on a leg or ordinary. Tall elegant wine glasses can easily coexist with down-to-earth brutal ones.
Decor - fresh and handmade flowers, compositions of spruce branches and dried flowers, original covers for cutlery. The finishing touch on the ceiling is a spectacular chandelier or low-hanging dream catchers. Any color scheme, combinations of living wood and textiles are relevant.
Minimalism and scandi
Simple, extraordinary, laconic - minimalism in decorating the New Year's table should be a continuation of the style of the apartment. Otherwise, serving will look poor and hasty, as if covered for a quick bite. Black and white gamut, a little silver or gray flax, candles from miniature to giant, green branches are relevant. The decor may be absent altogether.
Scandinavian style is a little more loyal and homey. Combinations of white with pink, red, blue, gilding, natural wood and ceramics are welcome. The table can be decorated with carvings, the chairs can be covered with fluffy fur capes.
Shabby chic
Summer style for winter serving - fresh, joyful, unusual. Bring out retro dishes - crystal salad bowls and glasses, fruit bowls on graceful legs, plates with a gold border and a flower.
Expose all the beauty to a plain wood or aged plank surface. A thin voile tablecloth with a printed or embroidered small pattern is also suitable. Decorating is quite simple - lace, flowers, Christmas balls, candlesticks in the form of lanterns.
Rustic
There is a lot of untreated wood, brutal simplicity, natural coarse fabrics - burlap, unbleached linen, folk print embroidery. Large glasses, simple cutlery, wine glasses and small accessories made of metal, candles in jars - the imitation of the life of woodcutters or forest hermits gives a magical night a special romantic.
Eco-style
The ecological style is similar to the Scandinavian one. Combinations of white with herbal green, wood, live plants and dried flowers are welcome. Tablecloth - made of natural materials, linen runners, napkins, wooden or straw coasters for plates. Nuts, tangerines, dried fruits, gingerbread - for decoration, simple twine for dressing.
Glamorous
A lot of gilding, sophistication of forms, transparent glass on the thinnest legs, personalized places, an elegant surprise on the plate of each guest or beautifully packed cutlery. Christmas balls in a vase, tinsel, sparkles, intricate candlesticks, sparkling deer figurines, carved snowflakes - decor with a claim to splendor is a must.
Smart table setting - tips for innovators and conformists
Do not try to make the New Year's table, and the whole house is too colorful, there is a great risk of overshooting. It is optimal to use no more than three colors of the same saturation - either bright or muted. Remember the compatibility of textiles, appliances, ornaments.
Elegant tableware without a pattern is suitable for a bright tablecloth, it is possible with gilding, crystal on stable legs. Blue is the basis for silverware, twisted glass holders, elegant tall glasses.
Colored glass looks great on a white, silver, gold background. Natural tones are combined with ceramics, delicate shades and floral plates create a special home atmosphere.
Stick to the general direction of the chosen style, pay attention to detail, improvise, relying on your capabilities. The setting of the New Year's table can correspond to the design of the room as a whole or be duplicated with a similar accent.
For instance:
- country music - an elegant, merry Christmas tree;
- boho-chic - with garlands of pompons on the walls;
- shabby chic - with floral curtains;
- minimalism - gif.webpts in craft paper or white paper.
If you want stability, choose what is close and understandable to you. If you are planning to start the New Year 2022 with global changes - start right now. Take a different approach and feel like a different person. There is a time to explore a direction that you absolutely do not like, but perhaps it will become a guiding thread.
There are no uniform recommendations on how to serve and decorate the New Year's table - there is a good mood and an inner feeling of harmony. Catch this wave, be happy and everything will work out!
