How to decorate a house for the new year. How to decorate a house for the new year How to decorate a room New Year's Eve with your own hands ideas

No matter how old you are, the New Year makes everyone a child. And at least for the sake of this night it is worth creating a fabulous atmosphere around. Let you no longer believe in Santa Claus and the magic of the New Year, but do not break this faith in children ahead of time. New Year's Eve is the time to write him a letter, do a general cleaning and decorate the room with a variety of decorative details that will give him a New Year's mood.

A lot can be done on your own. If you don’t know how to decorate a room for the New Year 2018 with your own hands, refer to the master classes, which describe in detail about the manufacture of a particular craft. Here you will find many interesting, simple and original ideas.

Instructions for making large decorative elements

Sometimes you want to bring some significant decor detail into the interior so that it becomes a central element, and the eye immediately clings to it when entering the room. We advise you to create something voluminous and bright, after all, the New Year.

Cardboard crafts: chimney, fireplace

We propose to make a simple element of New Year's decor - a chimney with twigs. With it, you can decorate a table or bedside table.

	From cardboard, make a rectangle measuring 40 × 12 cm.
	Fold the blank into a box with sides of 10 cm.
	Secure with glue or tape.
	We glue the bottom of a suitable size. In order not to bother gluing the box, you can use the finished one, for example, from juice.
	Cover the box with white paper on all sides.
	Mix black and white paint for a gray color.
	Use a sponge to paint the paper gray. Let the box dry.
	Paint over a piece of cardboard with brick red or use red cardboard. Let's dry.
	We cut the red cardboard into small bricks 2.5 by 4 cm in size, first making markings on the back of the cardboard.
	Glue the bricks to the surface of the box.
	Cut out “snow” from white paper or felt and glue it to the top of the chimney.
	We supplement the imitation of snow with cotton wool or padding polyester. Attach with hot glue.
	Tree branches are tinted with white paint.
	We insert the branches into the chimney and decorate them with balls.
	We hang balls on the branches.

If we continue the topic of heating

smile

Be sure to remember such a Christmas and New Year attribute as a fireplace. The heat emanating from the hearth, the crackling of firewood in a real fireplace, of course, cannot be compared with anything, but such luxury happens only in a country house, and even then not everyone acquires it, so we suggest limiting ourselves to visual effects only. Who knows, maybe you don’t want to part with the craft after the New Year holidays. And we will do it from ordinary cardboard boxes.

	We lay out the boxes with the letter "P" and glue.
	Use Moment-Crystal glue for this purpose or this glue for tiled ceilings.
	Glue the boxes first, two at a time, put a load on top so that the glue grabs.
	Glue the fireplace racks.
	The mantelpiece can be strengthened by gluing a few sheets of cardboard.
	We cut the cardboard to size and glue the sheets together.
	You can glue the fireplace with cardboard on all sides.
	Glue the back wall and bottom.
	Put the fireplace on a pedestal. We make it from 6 sheets of cardboard glued together.
	Glue the pedestal to the fireplace.
	Glue the joints and corners with newspaper, putting it on PVA glue.
	When this job is done, paint the fireplace with white acrylic paint.
	Take a sheet of foam 2 cm thick. Line the foam to a width of 4-5 cm. Cut first into strips, then into bricks.
	In principle, bricks 1 cm thick will be enough, so we cut the bricks in half again.
	We glue thick bricks in the first row, they form a decorative side.
	We lay out the next rows of bricks in a checkerboard pattern.
	The fireplace is ready. Install it and decorate.
	Inside there must be a luminous garland, it is she who will replace the light of a real fire.

Wood products: star, wreath

Stars as an element of New Year's decor are not inferior in popularity to snowmen, Santa Clauses and Snow Maidens. The proximity of Christmas is affecting, and we are starting a celebration at night. Let's try to make a big star from wooden slats.

	For a Christmas star, you will need a wooden box, such as vegetables and fruits are sold in the market.
	Remove three boards.
	The boards are quite wide, so we cut them in half. For convenience, we outline the middle.
	Sawing.
	Sand the boards so that there are no burrs. Don't forget the corners.
	We need 5 of these narrow slats. In principle, if you have narrow slats, you can skip the steps listed above.
	Paint the slats bright red with spray paint.
	We fold the slats into a star and hammer them together with nails, bend the nails on the reverse side.
	It should look like this star.
	Now wrap the entire star with an electric garland.

In Hollywood films, even in the same "Home Alone", you could see that wreaths are used for decoration. It is not necessary to take spruce branches for this purpose, we will manage with ordinary branches without leaves.

Pompom crafts: cozy wreath and cute snowman

In winter, when you return home from work, and it’s cold outside, it’s dark, the wind howls, you want to wrap yourself in a soft warm blanket upon arrival, have a hearty meal, drink hot tea with mint, touch something fluffy (the cats will do). Fluffiness in many causes a surge of peace. Pompoms are one of those things that are nice to look at and that deliver a pleasant tactile sensation. Let's make some crafts from pompoms.

The first idea is a wreath.

	To make a wreath, you will need two skeins of threads of different colors - in this case, brown and white, two cardboard blanks in the form of slingshots of a slightly different size, scissors.
	Wind the thread onto the stencil.
	Pass the thread through the hole and pull off the wound threads.
	Remove the skein from the stencil and cut the threads on both sides with scissors.
	Make 10 large and 5 small pom poms. Do the same with brown threads. There are 30 pom poms in total.
	Now you need a metal ring. It can be made from wire or a cheap metal hanger.
	Just tie the pom poms to the metal base.
	Additionally, decorate the wreath with Christmas decorations.

You can use a variety of decorative elements to decorate the wreath, such as bells or bows. We have about tying bows.

And now we will make a snowman from white threads.

	Take the thread. Wind it around three fingers 170 times.
	Tie across the middle.
	Cut the threads along the fold. Trim with scissors.
	Next, we wind the threads on 2 fingers 150 times. We do the same: remove, bandage, cut.
	Then we wind the threads only on the thumb 100 times.
	We take a straw for cocktails and string pompoms on it. We cut off the excess.
	From thin branches we make a nose, mouth, eyes, hands. Glue.

You can make a New Year's composition by placing a snowman on a cut of a tree trunk, decorating it with painted cones, Christmas balls, spruce branches, artificial snow.

Garlands for decorating the room and windows

Which of us in childhood did not make garlands at home with relatives or at labor lessons before the New Year? Now, by the way, there are much more opportunities for creativity, due to the availability of materials for needlework, but the Internet is simply replete with an abundance of ideas. You can decorate the children's room with garlands by hanging them from the ceiling. The child will not get to them, will not tear and will not get confused.

Paper garlands - all kinds of flags, chains, snowflakes - many people can do, not everyone knows that they also use felt for this purpose. Let's make a garland with gingerbread men out of this material.

Garlands on the window look especially beautiful. If you choose the right material, it will shimmer, reflecting both daylight and artificial light. We propose to decorate the window with a garland of ordinary synthetic winterizer decorated with lurex.

	Gut a synthetic padding pillow, or purchase it at a craft store. Roll into small balls.
	Then wrap each ball with Lurex.
	String the resulting blanks on the same lurex thread.
	To prevent the balls from bunching up, drop a drop of hot glue on the thread in the right places. She will not be visible due to the fact that she drowns herself in the padding polyester, but the balls will stay in place.
	It will turn out a great garland for a window opening.

To make a garland on the window, you can use tinsel. It will not be needed much, as we will cut it into small pieces.

	Cut off a piece about 1-2 cm long, twist it and flatten it with your fingers.
	You should get something like this.
	We do a lot of details.
	Then we string "snowflakes" on a fishing line. If you choose a thin fishing line, then it will not be visible at all, and it will turn out as if “snowflakes” are floating in the air - very beautiful.
	See what it looks like.

You will find even more workshops on making New Year's garlands.

Candlesticks and lamps - create an atmosphere of comfort

Subdued light will create a secluded, calm atmosphere in the room, which is what you need if you are going to celebrate the New Year together. Although it is not a sin to decorate the room with candles in original candlesticks or lamps from LED garlands to take a break from the hustle and bustle on long winter evenings.

When the reflections of a candle on the wall are combined with an indescribably cozy aroma of cinnamon, this is doubly pleasant.

And inside a glass cup or vase, which is used as a candlestick, they recreate a winter forest in miniature. Want to try? The more interesting and detailed the composition, the better. In addition to decorative paper trees, figures of people, snowmen, and houses are placed there. This installation is very mesmerizing when lit by candlelight.

	You will need a round vase, salt, a candle, green colored paper, glue, toothpicks. Pour salt into the vase, place a tea candle inside.
	Cut out strips of 1.5 * 20 cm from colored paper.
	Let's make a small fringe.
	Cover toothpicks with glue and wrap with colored paper, fringe up. Break off the excess part of the stick.
	Fluff out the fringe.
	Stick Christmas trees in impromptu snow.
	Decorate with beads.
	Draw a snowflake with a stroke, a white outline, a white marker or acrylic paints.
	Decorative candle is ready.

Another version of the candlestick is made from a whiskey glass, which is decorated with finely chopped tinsel.

In the beginning, we talked about lamps. How to implement the simplest option, read below

	Take an ordinary LED garland, which is sold in almost any supermarket on New Year's Eve, and fold it into a narrow tall glass.
	Seal the top of the glass with clear tape.
	Place the glass in the jar.
	Fill the space between the glass and the jar with artificial snow.
	Close the jar with a lid and turn on the garland. The room will be filled with soft pleasant light.

Transformation of interior items

New Year's mood is created not only by special decorative items, but also by interior items. How to decorate everyday things, see the master classes. For example, do you want to turn an ordinary chair into an original decorative item?

Now let's give the room a New Year's flavor due to decorative pillow cases. They are suitable for decorating sofa cushions in the living room and decorating the bed in the bedroom.

	Take two pillowcases: one white, one red, rhinestones, fabric paints, glitter, scissors, tape, sheets of paper and a deer printout.
	For the first pillowcase, cut out a snowflake from a sheet of paper.
	Place something under the fabric inside the pillowcase, as paint can stain the other side of the pillowcase and the surface on which the pillowcase lies.
	Secure the snowflake with tape. Then, armed with a sponge and fabric paint, paint over the holes in the stencil.
	Peel off the stencil and decorate the pillowcase with rhinestones, glue them on.
	Cut out the head of a deer from paper, use the sheet as a stencil.
	Painted with golden metallic paint.
	We remove the stencil.

Panel. When you want more holiday

The more New Year's details, the more interesting. Do not disregard shelves and bedside tables, decorate them with original panels.

	Take the blank for the panel. In this case, canvas on a stretcher is used. Although you can use cardboard painted with white paint.
	Tear off a piece of foil. Suitable foil, which is intended for baking.
	Tear off small pieces of foil, crumple them to achieve an irregular shape.
	Having previously laid out all the pieces, stick double-sided tape on the back.
	Glue all pieces in place.

We will make another panel from threads. Let's make the background the most New Year's - red. To make a panel, prepare two identical rectangular sheets of corrugated cardboard, a hammer, red acrylic paint, double-sided tape, thick threads (you can knit), small carnations, a silhouette of a deer head printed on paper.

	We glue the cardboard with double-sided tape. If possible, you can take a wooden blank instead of cardboard.
	Now evenly cover the entire cardboard with red paint.
	Don't forget about the edges too.
	If the panel is large, you can not print the template, but transfer the silhouette from the screen onto sheets of paper glued together.
	Drive in the carnations along the lines, especially carefully where the contour line bends. Fill in the center with cloves.
	Carefully remove the paper.
	Tie a thread to one of the nails. Fill the silhouette with threads not too tight. In order not to make a mistake, when winding the threads, refer to the picture. To select the path, you can walk along the path again.
	Drive a carnation into each corner and make a frame out of the threads.
	The result of the work looks like you bought this craft in the department of decorative items and gifts.

Other souvenirs

Literally nowhere without New Year's souvenirs. They can not only decorate, they can also be given. Crafts in which you have invested a piece of your soul are likely to be accepted with great enthusiasm and gratitude. It would seem a small boot with sprigs of spruce, a cone-shaped Christmas tree made of cardboard, and how much anticipation of the holiday is contained in these products.

	To make such a boot, we use a plastic capsule from a chocolate egg.
	Let's cut it into two parts by cutting the connecting jumper.
	The smaller part is marked with a marker.
	Cut off the curved part with scissors.
	The remaining parts should fold into a boot.
	We take a piece of paper and circle the bottom of the boot. We cut. This is a template for making a "sole".
	According to the pattern of dense black felt, cut out the sole.
	Glue the shoe parts to the sole with hot glue. First a larger detail, then a smaller detail.
	We also glue the parts together. We cut the sole if there are protruding sections.
	Now glue the boot with red felt. We apply glue to the edge of the sole and glue a piece of felt in a circle.
	At the junction, cut off the excess and glue the junction.
	We cut off the excess length of the material, but not back to back.
	We fix the fabric on the front of the boot. Inside, apply a drop of glue approximately in the middle and press the fabric with your finger.
	Then we fix two side folds with glue.
	Cut off the excess at the top.
	With the help of white felt, we imitate the fur edge of the boot.
	Glue the decor in the fold area.
	We put several artificial branches in the boot.
	Decorate branches.

A computer desk or a place where you work at home also needs to be decorated in a New Year's way. Let's make a Christmas tree in the form of a topiary. Putting it somewhere in the corner, you will remember that the New Year will come soon, which means that the New Year holidays are close and you can give yourself a long-awaited rest.

	Wrap the cardboard glass in wrapping paper.
	We cut the protruding sections with a blade.
	Now we will make the base of the Christmas tree in the form of a cone from cardboard.
	Glue the cone with PVA glue. In addition to a cardboard cone, you can use a purchased foam cone.
	Align the bottom of the tree so that it is stable.
	Circle the "bottom" of the Christmas tree on a piece of paper. Cut it out.
	Insert a piece of foam inside the Christmas tree.
	Apply glue and glue the cut out circle of cardboard.
	The tree trunk can be made from sushi sticks. Decorate with ribbon if desired. To do this, secure the edge of the tape with a drop of hot glue and wrap the stick around. Insert the stick into the center of the Christmas tree, deepening it into the foam.
	Now we wrap the cone with knitting threads. Again, put the tip of the thread on hot glue, then, tightly laying the thread, wrap the entire cone. At the end, secure the thread with glue.
	We will decorate the Christmas tree with bows and beads. Make small ribbon bows.
	To fix the decor, use hot glue.
	Cut out a small star from red felt and decorate the top of the Christmas tree with it.
	To install a Christmas tree in a glass, take building gypsum and dilute it with water, according to the instructions. Place the Christmas tree in a glass and wait until the plaster hardens.
	Pour artificial snow on top and, after smearing the edges of the glass with hot glue, glue artificial snow there too.

The house, which we will now tell you how to make, can be used as a receptacle for papers on the desktop, as a napkin holder, as a gift bag for light gifts, and much more.

	Take an A4 sheet and draw the house itself and all the elements with which it will be decorated. Cut it out.
	We will draw a Christmas tree on the house.
	Now we will cut out all the details from felt. First, cut out the front and back of the house, two side pieces and the bottom of the red felt.
	Now cut out from paper those elements that should be white and green. Transfer them to the felt of the corresponding color.
	We cut out a window from green felt, as well as a Christmas tree, dividing it into several parts in tiers, snow on the roof of the house - from white felt - all in duplicate for two sides.
	Now glue the house. Glue the bottom to one of the halves with hot glue.
	Then the side pieces. We glue them to the bottom.
	Here is a house already turned out.
	On the roof and pipe we glue the details of white felt, as well as the backing of the Christmas tree.
	Then we glue the window, the trunk of the Christmas tree from brown felt. And tiers of green with a yellow star on top.
	Glue the handle cut out of the same red felt.

advent calendar

And how great in anticipation of the holiday to treat yourself or your children to sweets. Let's make a sweet calendar for December. It will be much more pleasant to count down the days until the New Year. The Advent calendar is one of the attributes of European Christmas. But the idea is a good one: eat a candy every day and feel the approach of the holiday. Someone who, and even the children from this decorative item will definitely be delighted, you can’t drag it by the ears.

	Take a hanger, wrapping paper, a ruler with a pencil, double-sided tape, scissors, scrap paper, sweets.
	We cut out 21 rectangles from wrapping paper, focusing on the size of the sweets that we will wrap in this paper.
	Wrap each candy in paper, forming such "gifts".
	From scrap paper, cut out rectangles or stars, in general, any shape, and write numbers from 1 to 31 on them.
	Punch holes in the rectangles with a hole punch, string them on the twine and tie the sweets wrapped in paper with it.
	When everything is ready, tie all the candy on the hanger using twine.

Pendant toys: for the Christmas tree and for decoration

Toys that can be hung on a Christmas tree can perfectly decorate a room, and not just a New Year's tree, especially since they are made from a variety of improvised materials. For example, use this decor to decorate windows, Christmas trees, walls.

	From glue on a piece of cellophane, which can be a regular file, draw a snowflake with hot glue.
	When the snowflake hardens, unstick it from the cellophane.
	Sprinkle some glitter. Apply a second layer of glue to the snowflake.
	Dip the snowflake in glitter. They will stick where you applied the glue. You can make a multi-colored snowflake if you apply sparkles of one color to some areas, and when the glue dries, glue other areas with glue and dip the snowflake in sparkles of a different color.
	It is better to apply glitter in parts so as not to be smeared with glue.

You will find even more ideas for New Year's toys in this article.

When everything is decorated, take a break and take a look at all this beauty. Do you feel like the New Year is coming?

I can definitely say that decorating a room is easy for any holiday. By the New Year, you can resort to different materials and techniques. And, of course, be sure to take into account what symbol of the New Year is indicated.

I don’t know where you start your actions, I usually started to decorate the ceiling in the room.

For example, for this you can use cotton wool, silver rain, paper and even napkins. So:

you can make very beautiful cumulus, "snowy" clouds from cotton wool and hang them from the ceiling with the help of threads. Almost "real" snow can be made from the same cotton wool. It will be enough for you to tear the cotton wool into small pieces, lightly form balls out of them and hang them from the ceiling in the same way. You can use for this not threads, but fishing line. It will be possible to string beads on the fishing line - white and transparent, for originality.

decorate the chandelier with rain, for example, or fix it with a thin strip of adhesive tape to the ceiling.

You can easily cut out a variety of snowflakes from paper or napkins. It is better to hang snowflakes-ballerinas on a chandelier on threads of different lengths.

Finished with the ceiling. Now you can move on to decorating the Christmas tree or walls.

Not everyone has the opportunity to buy a real live Christmas tree, so the option of creating a Christmas tree on the wall from a garland or branches will be a great alternative.

We make a Christmas tree on the wall like this: we place a garland or branches in such a way as to create an outline of the Christmas tree. If it’s hard for you to imagine such an option, then first draw a sketch on the wall, and then glue the garland / branches / tinsel and so on on it. In principle, at home you are not limited in the choice of material - books, branches, buttons, cardboard, and so on will help you.

A Christmas tree created in this way does not need special decor. Therefore, if you used spruce branches, you can additionally make artificial snow on them, colored small-sized toys can be hung and a small garland with light bulbs.

On the windows, paper decorations - vytynanka are suitable as decor. Remember how we cut out snowflakes when we were kids? In the same way, you can make vytynanki. If a more complex option is required, then you will need to select a plot first, then transfer it to paper with a simple pencil, and only then cut it out. I use not only a clerical knife, but also nail scissors. They are best suited for large elements of the picture.

You can also use toothpaste, children's paints, a stencil, and so on. If you do not like the window design option, then you can decorate curtains and tulle for the New Year. You can use both Christmas toys of different sizes, and LED garlands, for example. And you can also hang snowflakes beautifully from the curtains.

Of course, we will not leave aside the doors of the room. It, like the front door, can be decorated in an original way with a wreath, for example. A wreath can be made in an hour from branches or from cones, for example. You will need wire. From it you need to create a circle that will serve as a frame. And then we simply create a wreath by attaching branches to such a strong frame. I think that a thin wire will not be superfluous in this case. To complete the wreath, use, for example, satin ribbons to create bright bows, you can make artificial snow on the branches.

The wreath can be made from other material. For example, cones are perfect for this purpose. Cones can be chosen one size or different. It is important that the material you use is dry.

The cones will stick together perfectly if you use strong glue, such as "Titan" or "E6000", for example. You can also make a frame in advance. The frame for a wreath can be the most ordinary cardboard. From it you need to cut a circle with a hole. The larger the diameter of the circle, the larger the wreath. I recommend choosing the optimal, in my opinion, size - twenty - twenty-five centimeters. If you want a larger wreath, then wire will come in handy for the frame.

Glue the cones around the circle of cardboard, and then paint them. Of course, artificial snow, as an option when making a homemade wreath on the door, can also be used.

In addition, using colored paper, you can make three-dimensional letters and create a congratulatory inscription "Happy New Year!" on the door.

The interior can be functional or comfortable, but it is the small details that can bring a sense of coziness and unique features to the room. After all, a house is not just a place where we satisfy our vital needs, but a kind of continuation of our individuality. There are many ideas for decoration, but we have chosen 12 of the most beautiful do-it-yourself room decor options that everyone can implement on their own.

1. Garden in a bottle or florarium

Flowers in pots look very cute, but to bring a unique touch to the interior of the room, we suggest going a little further and putting a garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive in normal conditions.

An airtight container with a minimum amount of air creates a humid atmosphere, ideal for some types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptanthus, pellionia, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, be guided not only by their external properties, but also by height - it is necessary that it matches the size of the container.

Any glass container with a neck that closes easily and is convenient for planting can become a “home” for a garden.

So, first you need to fill the bottle with material for drainage and earth. Think over the composition, then dig holes with a spoon with an elongated handle. Next, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. Florarium is ready!

2. Geometric shelves

Sometimes it is better to abandon massive bookcases, using simple compositions of geometric shapes in the interior instead. Due to the conciseness, such shelves will perfectly fit into any design without causing difficulties during creation.

They are made like ordinary shelves - from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the design on a hook. Just do not put easily breakable objects there.

3. Decorate the wall with nails and thread

No matter how strange this phrase may sound, but the decor of nails and threads is a real-life direction, which is called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have a place to turn around - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind a strand, creating a unique work.

You will need threads, nails and a base into which they can be driven. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which a strand passes.

There are many options for drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed paintings with a diverse palette of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor anywhere else.

4. Hooks for cutlery clothes

Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use a second chance by turning them into a practical decor element? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual coat hooks in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.

You can give a curved shape to a metal object using a hammer or a vice, and for mounting on a base, it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.

Forks look interesting, the teeth of which are directed in different directions. With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on hooks.

5. Ottomans from old magazines

And although today the main sources of information are the Internet and television, quite recently people learned about the areas of interest in life from magazines, which since then, more than a dozen have accumulated in many homes. Instead of throwing away waste paper, we suggest making a comfortable ottoman out of it.

Such a piece of furniture, in addition to magazines about gardening or construction, consists of a wooden base (which you can make yourself from a carpentry shield), a pillow and two old belts that tighten the entire structure.

It is recommended to select publications of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and the theme of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.

6. Thread lampshade

It happens that you go to the store for a chandelier: there seem to be many options, but the prices bite, and the presented models do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate your home with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands, using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon.

The balloon must be inflated, wrapped with plastic wrap, and on top of it with threads, leaving a small hole. Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after which the base must be removed after drying. The final stage is the electrical connection to the lampshade.

Such a ceiling can be used for both a chandelier and a lamp. Try not to overdo it with threads - the design must be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for a modern interior, and multi-colored yarn will create bright accents.

7. Curtains for doorways

In rooms where it was decided to abandon doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as a light partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it will not be difficult to enter such an element into the interior design.

Instead of a solid, albeit transparent fabric, it is better to stop at curtains made of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details collected in a chain (this will add a little gloss).

It is not difficult to create such a product, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme. The partition is usually mounted on a mounted crossbar, which ensures easy movement if necessary.

8. Possibilities of decorative tape

Scotch tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the decor possibilities.

Paper tape is more suitable for modern design, in which such unusual solutions look the most organic. Using adhesive tape, you can, for example, circle pieces of furniture, diversify plain surfaces, “write” words or phrases, and even zoning.

It will also be possible to decorate smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since products are presented in different sizes on the modern market. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the possibilities of the room.

9. Decoupage in the interior

Probably, many have heard about this simple, aesthetic decor option, only in the context of small crafts. But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger items, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.

Decoupage decorates even surfaces of furniture, tiles, glass. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floral patterns are suitable for classics and Provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures for pop art.

In the work you will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreaser and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the object. It is better to practice beforehand, as with inaccurate application, bubbles or other traces may remain.

10. Garlands for every day

Glowing lights are not only a New Year's attribute. They can also be used for everyday decor, creating real magic in the room.

Garlands turn into a kind of night light if placed in a glass container, like a jar or vase. You can also hang them on the back of the bed, but the lights on the canopies look even more spectacular. Just remember to be safe and check that the adjacent material does not heat up.

Mounted on the wall, garlands look good with Polaroid photos, highlighting them beautifully. When inscribing such lighting into the interior of a room, it is important to keep the line between festive and everyday design.

11. Illuminated mirror frame

This kind of mirrors is called make-up mirrors, as they illuminate the stars as much as possible during makeup application and are often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living room, the illuminated frame has found its place, becoming a popular design solution.

You can fit the item into the bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. To make a product, you will need a wooden frame, lamps, wires, as well as the ability of an electrician.

Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, since conventional ones create a lot of heat.

12. Candles in the interior

Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent decor element.

But using a few candles in the interior is too commonplace. We are talking about a whole composition that will rather fit into the classical style, bringing into it the romance of ancient castles.

Such lighting looks amazing, displayed in several rows and placed on a separate shelf. To heighten the effect, you can hang the support from the ceiling, carefully choosing a safe place - jokes with fire are bad, and dripping wax can be inconvenient. But this is where the shortcomings of such a decor end, because a lot can be forgiven for a spectacular appearance.

Decorating a Christmas tree, artificial or live, is the favorite ritual of every family. With the onset of the twentieth of December, dusty boxes from the mezzanine, stuffed with toys, tinsel and lanterns, get.

There are several types of artificial fir trees that do not require decoration. They either already have built-in flashlights, or the colors of such a “tree” do not require additional decor. Silver spruces, white, golden and even red are popular. The wound is so diverse that everyone can choose for themselves exactly the option that will please and create a truly New Year's mood.

Everyone knows how to decorate a room with their own hands for the new year 2018 using a Christmas tree. But how to make the festive tree fit harmoniously into the interior, and the toys not just hang ridiculously from their paws - we'll talk further.

Any decor has its own tricks - the Christmas tree is no exception. Decorating a tree with balls can be done in several ways:

• chess - it is better to choose contrasting colors of Christmas balls and hang them according to the chessboard rule. This method not only looks very advantageous on the Christmas tree, but also contributes to financial well-being in the new year (according to Feng Shui experts);
• spiral - a row of balls are hung diagonally. According to the color scheme, you can not adhere to any framework, but just the opposite - experiment. You can take balls of different sizes, but it is important to take into account the symmetry. You can hang toys from the darkest and smoothly moving to the light shade of the ball.
• vertical - the balls are hung from top to bottom in a straight row. You can supplement such a row of balls with flashlights or tinsel.

Instead of a Christmas tree garland, you can use LED candles that are attached to a branch with a clothespin. This method of decoration is safe, since the option of a short circuit from electricity is excluded, as well as from the open fire of the original candles. But the LED decoration looks just as good as real candles.

Of course, no one cancels the decoration of the Christmas tree with other toys. It is not necessary to use only balls. The decor market is full of various figures: everyone can choose something symbolic for themselves and decorate the New Year tree with it.

New Year's table

If the celebration of the New Year is planned to be held at home, but you can’t do without a table with dishes. As a rule, the New Year's table is decorated with a festive tablecloth. Its color can be classic white, or bright red with a gold pattern. In fact, the shade of the tablecloth is not important - the main thing is to correctly combine it with the rest of the table and room decor.

In addition to beautifully folded napkins and a festive service, candles can be placed in the middle of the table. Candles can be made independently or bought, not forgetting about the candlestick. It is better to buy it on a leg - so that it does not take up much space on the table, which, as a rule, is always small due to the abundance of dishes.

Candlesticks can be made from an orange or tangerine by carefully removing the core from the fruit. Place a candle in the hole and enjoy not only the romantic view, but also the aroma. Such candles will look great not only on the festive table, but also on the windowsill or on the fireplace.

In addition to candles in the middle of the table, you can place a homemade composition of spruce twigs. Gather something like a bouquet by decorating the sprigs with confetti or small balloons. The smell of a living tree will fill the whole room with a real exciting feeling of a holiday.

If your chairs have a back, then it’s a sin not to decorate it. Chairs can be beautifully tied with ribbons, a festive bow, beads, tinsel can be attached to the back. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the decor does not look ridiculous. It is important to know the measure in the combination of colors.

The New Year's table is the center of attention of all those present at the holiday. Therefore, do not skimp on decorating dishes. Even one sprig of dill can change the look of an ordinary cheese cut, and a tomato peel rosette will fit perfectly with sausages, giving the dish a solemn look.

We decorate windows

Who in childhood did not cut snow-white snowflakes and glue them on the windows? In kindergartens and schools, this was an obligatory stage of decorating a room before the New Year. Now it is not necessary to cut out snowflakes - there are enough beautiful New Year-themed stickers in stores that, after the holidays, will not leave behind horrific stains and stains on glass.

Silicone sleighs with deer, Santa Claus, Christmas trees and gifts have long been loved by people for their ease of use and their bright colors. Moreover, they are also reusable. Carefully unstick the sticker from the glass - it can be removed until the next holiday.

If you or your relatives have drawing skills, then you are unlikely to be tormented by the question of how to decorate a room with your own hands for the new year 2018. You can create a whole plot of a New Year's fairy tale on glass with watercolor and gouache. This decor option will give you pleasure in the process of art, will last all the New Year holidays, and after that it will wash off without a trace.

You can also decorate glass with ordinary toothpaste. To do this, you need to prepare in advance paper stencils of the figure that you would like to see on the window. Leaning the figure against the glass, fill the free space with paste, remove the stencil and - voila. Toothpaste drawings look realistic, as they make them look like snow.

If you don’t feel like painting the glass at all, then you can decorate the windows with garlands of toys. We tie the desired detail to a thread or fishing line and fasten the composition to the cornice. Thus, it is possible to attach a New Year's rain, which, with a light breath of the breeze, will sway beautifully from side to side.
