You need to prepare a sled in the summer. And to think about how to decorate the house for the New Year 2020 is better at least a few months before this event. Then it will be possible to properly plan the budget, acquire the necessary decor, carefully consider the decoration of each room.
And the painfully familiar emergency situation, with the feverish hanging of the first toys and garlands that came to hand, as well as the complete absence of any style and harmony in the interior, will remain in the past. The first and most important step is to decide on the design idea. It is advisable to withstand all the decor in a single theme and not "overdo it" with color, variegation is not in vogue today.
Entrance area
New Year's mood should embrace guests and households literally from the doorway. If we are talking about a private house, you need to decorate not only the interior, but also the courtyard, hanging garlands on the trees or installing lanterns along the path leading to the main entrance.
You can use a variety of figures from ice with filling to decorate. Making them is extremely simple. Here, for example, is how an original winter wreath is made.
- Take a cupcake mold, lay on the bottom beautiful branches of evergreen trees or shrubs, cones, red berries - mountain ash, holly, rose hip.
- Pour water and send it to the freezer.
- After complete hardening, lower the mold into hot water for a few seconds - no more. When the ice figure separates from the walls, carefully remove it.
- The resulting wreath is fixed on a ribbon and hung on a branch or column of porch.
Water can be frozen in containers of any shape: children's pails, tin cans, even in balloons. Ice sculptures for the New Year will be provided. They also make original street candlesticks - incredibly beautiful and romantic.
It is good to decorate the door with a live green wreath of branches of thuja, cypress and juniper - they are much more durable than pine trees, they do not turn yellow and do not crumble.
Hallway
Here, the decor should be concise, because the main holiday miracles are expected in the living room. In the apartment, the door on the inside is decorated with the same wreath, since it will not be possible to arrange it outside. For a private house, accessories of a fashionable rustic style are suitable: baskets with spruce branches, a bunch of firewood on a sleigh, skis that have “nipped” in the corner, a panel of cones and wood.
It is important that the style of the entrance area matches the rest of the rooms. But the abundance of tinsel, fragile toys and garlands in the hallway is unlikely to create a festive mood, as its functionality and ergonomics will suffer. As a result, the dressing process, quite time-consuming in the winter, will turn into a problem - you’ll even break some especially valuable decorative item.
Sometimes a thematic accessory on the door and a rug with a New Year print at the entrance will be enough.
Living room
That's where the main Christmas action unfolds. It is in the living room that the Christmas tree is most often installed, since in the nursery it takes up a lot of space and poses some danger. The design of the "common" room should be the most striking and creative.
But in order for the festive decoration to look harmonious, creating an atmosphere of home warmth and comfort, you need to remember some rules:
- New Year's decor is selected taking into account the style of the interior. Vintage Christmas tree decorations or rustic wooden accessories will not be suitable for minimalism or modernity.And the delicate, refined shabby chic “gets lost” in the metallic sheen of high-tech.
- Polychrome is irrelevant today. It is better to choose 2 - 3 contrasting shades and build the whole New Year design on them. The trend is pastel combinations, the "Scandinavian palette": red, white and black, as well as gold with white, or blue and green.
- For a country house, a rustic or eco-style is optimal, with a predominance of natural greenery and home-made ornaments made of natural materials. In 2020, both of these areas will receive a new interpretation, becoming more refined and refined, approaching Japanese minimalism.
- In the presence of a fireplace - usually only owners of country houses can afford such a luxury; it can be made the second most important decorative accent after the Christmas tree. The design is decorated with garlands of pine branches, winter floral arrangements of cones, fruits and dried flowers, candles and thematic figurines. And according to Western tradition, textile “boots” are hung for gifts.
- An important element of the New Year's lounge is a festive table. Its serving should also fit into the overall concept.
- Today it is fashionable to decorate not only walls, but also windows. This is especially appropriate if the tree is small and additional decor is required to give the room a festive look. Which one should be determined based on the general concept.
Paper snowflakes and toothpaste patterns are not the only type of window decoration. Garlands and balls, gilded cones and twigs, light bulbs imitating snow balls or florariums ... you never know what else a creative person can come up with, decorating the house for the New Year - 2020.
Thinking about the little things
While the living room sparkles and shimmers with lights, bathes in the scent of fresh needles and takes pride in exquisite Christmas tree decorations, the holiday also lives in other rooms. It is felt in pleasant, such necessary and valuable little things: small vases with sweets and fragrant tangerines, scented candles, sachet pillows with colorful winter embroidery.
Such accessories can be placed everywhere - in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the guest room and even in the bathroom. Let a positive mood reign throughout the house.
Children
Do not leave younger family members without a Christmas tree. However, the lush green beauty in the center of the room, proudly resting her crown on the ceiling, is not quite suitable for the nursery. The best option is new-fangled analogues from branches, a luminous LED-garland or any other improvised materials, mounted directly on the wall. They do not interfere with the movement, and awaken the imagination in the child, and make him part of the New Year's celebration.
Another interesting idea for the nursery is the Advent calendar, a design of bags or boxes suspended on ropes. In each such storehouse there is a small surprise: cookies, candy, nuts and so on. Every day during December, the child will open one "cache" and feel the approach of the holiday.
