When it’s time to welcome the New Year, each of us strives to create an atmosphere of magic and festive mood around us. Decorating the house for this wonderful event is not just a tradition, it is a way to share joy with loved ones, to bring bright colours and comfort to life. Each room in the house can be transformed with the help of carefully selected decorations, creating a unique style and theme, corresponding to the character of the room and the preferences of its inhabitants.
In the living room, which is often the central place for family gatherings, you can create an atmosphere of warmth and joy with a bright Christmas tree, sparkling garlands and themed decorative elements. The bedroom, as a place of rest and relaxation, requires a more calm and peaceful approach to decoration, combining a festive mood with the creation of a comfortable environment. Children’s room is a territory of fantasy and magic, where you can really go wild with coloured garlands, fairy-tale figures and other playful elements. And decorating doors, windows, mirrors and chandeliers will add completeness to the overall New Year’s image of your home, making it truly festive and magical.
In this article, we will offer you ideas and tips on how to decorate each of these spaces to help you create an unforgettable atmosphere in the run-up to the New Year.
Decorating the living room
The living room is the centre point of New Year’s Eve gatherings, so it’s important to create a particularly festive and joyful atmosphere in it:
- Christmas tree: Choose a Christmas tree of the right size for your living room. Decorate it with colourful garlands, twinkling lights, various Christmas toys and a top such as a star or angel. You can also add tinsel and snowflakes.
- Garlands and light decorations: Frame doorways, windows, shelves and bookcases with garlands. Use LED lights in different shapes and colours to create a cosy atmosphere.
- Decorative cushions and plaids: Add cushions with Christmas motifs or in traditional winter colours. Plaids with Christmas patterns will add cosiness.
Decorating a bedroom
In the bedroom, it’s important to keep the atmosphere calm and cosy but add a festive touch:
- Lights and candles: Install table lamps with themed lampshades or use scented candles with spruce, cinnamon or orange scents to create a relaxing atmosphere.
- Bed linen: Choose bed linen with Christmas motifs such as images of snowmen, Christmas trees or snowflakes.
- Miniature Christmas trees and decorative elements: Small artificial Christmas trees placed on nightstands or shelves will decorate the space. You can add Father Christmas figures, snowflakes or artificial snow.
Decorating a child’s room
In a child’s room you can be imaginative and create a magical fairytale atmosphere:
- Colourful garlands and figures: Decorate your room with garlands and figures of your favourite characters from fairy tales and cartoons. You can use glowing figures or wall stickers.
- Themed toys and soft toys: Arrange Christmas and New Year toys, add teddy bears and other animals in festive outfits.
- Advent Calendar: Create or buy an Advent calendar with little surprises or sweets for each day until New Year’s Eve to increase holiday anticipation.
Decorating doors, windows, mirrors, chandeliers
These items can be decorated to add to the overall festive atmosphere:
- Doors: Hang wreaths on doors decorated with pinecones, ribbons and Christmas toys. You can add bows and small bells.
- Windows: Use glowing figurines, stickers with pictures of snowmen or Father Christmas, and artificial snow to create a winter landscape on windows.
