It's an exciting time to prepare for the New Year holidays. On this occasion, we bring you a selection of the most beautiful and ornate holiday living rooms, as well as ideas to create the same beauty in your home.
The next month promises to be full of pleasant chores and the expectation of New Year's miracles. To make the holidays fun and carefree, we recommend that you start the appropriate preparations right now. And the best place to start is by creating themed decor in the living room.
We invite you to take a virtual walk through the most beautiful holiday rooms, the charming design of which will surely inspire you to a decorating feat. In addition, in this article you will find ten ideas-tips for creating a New Year's living room decor.
1. Thematic color scheme
Change the color accents of the living room to traditional New Year's. Depending on the prevailing basic shades, you can choose one of the most popular traditional combinations: white with red, green with red, silver with white and blue, or original variations on the theme of crimson, purple, pink and gold.
Having decided on a decorative color palette, try to stick to it even in small things. Textiles, toys, garlands, candles and other festive attributes should carry a single color message.
2. Natural decor
Traditional New Year's tinsel does not always harmoniously fit into the interior. An excellent alternative to garlands and balls will be natural cones, dry branches, needles and even fruits (for example, oranges, which resemble balls in shape). They fit perfectly into the New Year's concept and, moreover, do not fight! And if it seems to you that natural accessories do not look elegant enough, then you can always transform them with gold or silver paint.
3. Original tree
Of course, the Christmas tree is an essential attribute of the New Year's decor of the living room. However, if the room is too small to set up a full-fledged holiday tree, or if you just don't want to dig needles out of all the cracks for the next few weeks, you can go for a little trick and create an alternative version of the tree.
This is a wall panel. To create it, you can use anything: a garland, toys, decorative stickers, or any other elements that you can fix on the wall.
4. Ribbons
Ribbons always look elegant. Use them to tie up curtains, hang Christmas decorations (and not only on the Christmas tree, but also on the wall or lamps). Under the Christmas tree or in the fireplace portal, you can put a few decorative gifts, which will also be decorated with ribbons. When choosing ribbons, remember the festive color scheme.
5. Christmas pillows
Decorative pillows with themed Christmas patterns or made of elegant shiny fabric (in color to the main color motifs) will skillfully emphasize the festive theme. You can purchase them or make your own. The money and effort spent will not be in vain, as such bright accents enliven the interior, regardless of the time of year.
6. Garlands
Well, what a New Year's decor without festive lights of garlands! Here it is worth recalling that they can be used not only to decorate the Christmas tree. The decorative potential of garlands is much wider. With their help, you can make a decorative wall panel, a luminous inscription, window curtains, lighting for furniture.
In addition, garlands can be added to decorative compositions, entangled with firewood in a false fireplace to create an association with live fire, or simply put in a jar to make an original lamp.
7. Fireplace portal
If your house has a real fireplace, then you are very lucky. After all, it is he who can become the main focus of the New Year's decor of the living room. But if there is no fireplace, then you can still have time to equip a decorative fireplace portal in the room. And then the matter is small: a New Year's composition of candles, needles and toys on the mantelpiece, a few bright socks for gifts and beautifully wrapped gifts instead of firewood.
More fireplace portal decor options here.
8. Christmas smells
If there is a living spruce in your living room, a pleasant aroma of needles in the room is guaranteed. But if the Christmas tree is artificial or completely absent, you can use aromatic oils with a characteristic smell. In addition to the aroma of pine needles, the smells of chocolate and cinnamon are appropriate in the New Year's interior.
How to choose fragrances for other rooms, read here.
Our opinion:
Of course, no flavors can replace natural smells. Therefore, even if you do not have the opportunity to put a live spruce, try to find a place for at least a few spruce or pine branches. As for cinnamon, its sticks, placed in warm water or in close proximity to the fire, will not only be fragrant, but also complement the overall decorative composition.
9. Sledge
Do you want to shine with originality? Use sleds for decoration. They can fit perfectly into the New Year's interior, especially if they are made of wood or rattan and decorated with the appropriate New Year's attributes.
The sledge can serve as a stand under the Christmas tree, an original coffee table, a place for folding gifts, an extra seat for the youngest guests, or even the basis of a decorative composition for the New Year's table. The main thing is that the size of the sled should be comparable to the size of the objects of the environment.
10. New Year retro poster
For those who are alien to the traditional approach to decorating a holiday, retro posters with a New Year theme will help create an original atmosphere in the living room. They will give the living room a special style and perhaps a spicy charm (depending on the choice of poster).
Our opinion:
Of course, the posters themselves are unlikely to make the decor of the living room truly New Year's. Therefore, it is recommended to emphasize their presence in the interior with one or two more decorative touches, for example, lighting from garlands, coniferous framing.

Rag Christmas decoration
You can decorate a room for the New Year in such a way as to create comfort for your relatives, and at the same time surprise everyone. But when it comes time to prepare, very often we don't know where to start. What attribute of the holiday can be considered the main one? In this article, you will get acquainted with a huge number of original ideas for decorating. Find out how you can prepare a room and windows in it for the holiday. So, about everything in detail below.
Where to begin
Preparing a venue for a party should start with careful planning. Some do not pay attention to this issue at all, considering it unimportant. Others focus all their attention on thinking about the menu, buying products and preparing a festive dinner.
In fact, it is the preparation and decoration of the room that can create a truly warm atmosphere. Those who love their loved ones and try to surround them with care and attention will definitely find the strength and time to decorate their apartment or house.
The first thing to do is to do a general cleaning. After all, if there is no cleanliness in the room, then any decoration will look ridiculous. Nobody canceled the rule "How you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it". Therefore, you need to make an effort to meet the New Year in a clean way.
After that, you can transgress to decorate the room. First you need to evaluate the space itself and the possibilities. If the room to which guests will be invited is large and spacious, you can safely give a flight of fancy.
If it is small and there is no particularly free space, then you need to proceed from the size of the jewelry. For example, you can use the ideas below that take up little space.
Some of them are small in size, others are generally attached to windows or ceilings, so they do not take up much space.
It is also important to choose a color scheme. It is unlikely that someone will dare to re-paste the wallpaper or radically change the design of the room, so you need to build on those colors that are already present.
New Year's decor should not be monotonous, boring, but you should not go to extremes, combining many shades for decorations at the same time.
The main attribute of the holiday
Even a small child will say that the main symbol of the New Year is the Christmas tree. Everyone is faced with the question of which is better to buy - artificial or live. In order to save money, many decide to buy an artificial Christmas tree and use it for many years.
The main attribute of the holiday is a non-replaceable Christmas tree
Others would love to do it, but there is no place to store it. And yet, many residents of our country cannot imagine the New Year without a living Christmas tree, the aroma of which fills the whole house.
Almost all decoration options are suitable for both live and artificial Christmas trees. Decorating with ordinary glass toys is considered obsolete, so you can use one of the modern ideas.
Advice
It is not necessary to completely replace toys with it, you can simply combine several decor options.
edible decorations
The easiest way to arrange sweets. You can take both small candies and larger chocolate bars. However, this flight of fancy should not be limited. Some cookies or cakes are round and difficult to hang. And if it will be homemade cakes, then such decor will definitely create a cozy atmosphere.
Photo
If the New Year is celebrated in the family circle, you can hang photos on the Christmas tree. In this case, it is not necessary to use frames. Each photo can simply be decorated with a little rain. Everyone who comes to the holiday will admire himself, looking at the Christmas tree. BUT if you make it a surprise by preparing photos in advance, then everyone will definitely be surprised.
Flowers
Why not? Only truly creative people will take up the idea of combining the incompatible.
The only caveat is that it is better to choose flowers that do not wither immediately. It is better to choose in advance a place where exactly fresh flowers are sold and decorate the Christmas tree with them just before the guests arrive.
Advice
Some decide not to limit themselves to one Christmas tree. You can build "additional" Christmas trees, for example, laying them out with rain on the wall. Even from products you can lay out the shape of a Christmas tree, the main thing is to turn on your ingenuity.
artificial snow
New Year is associated not only with the Christmas tree, but also with snow. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not spoil us with real festive weather every year. Sometimes you have to go to celebrate the New Year in rubber boots, under an umbrella. Therefore, the idea of making artificial snow is always relevant.
Styrofoam
Yes, it will take a long time to gut the foam. But, given that there is an unnecessary sheet in the house (for example, all the equipment for sale is packed in it), then such decor will cost free. You can crumble the foam with your hands, or you can use a grater or even a fork. You can pour artificial snow under the tree, on the wrapped gifts under it. You can also string Styrofoam balls onto a fishing line to make a decoration for a chandelier. Although it is troublesome, but it is very beautiful.
From toilet paper
Such artificial snow is more suitable for making snowballs out of it to decorate the Christmas tree, or to make other figures. We tear the paper into small pieces, transfer it to a microwave bowl, put a piece of white laundry soap on top. We put the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute, take out the material and add a glass of water to it. We knead with our hands, like plasticine. After that, we proceed to the modeling of the selected figures.
Advice
You can decorate with artificial snow different New Year's paraphernalia. For example, foam plastic snow can be glued over bottles, both decorative and those containing champagne.
To do this, you just need to first coat them with glue. In the same way, you can decorate candlesticks and other elements on the festive table.
New Year's windows
There are many ways to decorate windows. New Year's is not the kind of holiday where you can just curtain them. Sooner or later, guests will come to the window to enjoy the weather outside the window or watch the fireworks. And decorated windows look special from the street, especially in private houses. Any owners will be pleased that people passing by their house admire the beauty.
The most popular way to decorate windows is with handmade snowflakes. On the Internet you can find many techniques for making them, so you can make masterpieces. The drawings on the windows also look beautiful.
In stores on the eve of the New Year, special stickers are sold that are easy to apply and just as easy to remove. However, it is much better when someone from the family paints the glass himself. To do this, you do not need to be an artist - even simple stains in snow-white tones will look appropriate and resemble the "creativity" of nature in frosty weather.
You can also decorate windows by placing decor on the windowsills. It can be bouquets of Christmas tree branches and cones, candles, Christmas balls and everything that is left after decorating the Christmas tree. Some decorate the windows on the street side, however, this can only be done if the weather permits.. For example, you can hang a garland, the light of which will be visible in the room.
Fairy lights
You can supplement the usual garland or even replace it with the help of independent work. A lot of material is not required for this. Some families have traditions every year on the eve of the New Year holidays to make garlands with their own hands. To do this, you can use these ideas.
colored paper
You can prepare the stencil as simple as possible, it can be a circle with a diameter of about 6 cm. We cut out circles of different colors and after that it remains only to fasten them. To do this, you can take a fishing line or thread. Circles are placed on them with a needle or glued. You can make one long garland, or you can make several small ones. You can decorate them with a window, Christmas tree, chandelier, curtains.
Garland made of natural materials
A few days before decorating the room, start collecting skins from tangerines, oranges, and lemons. Then, when the time is right, any figures can be cut out of them with a clerical knife. Stars or hearts look original. Cut out figures are strung on a thread with a needle. Despite the fact that such a garland is far from durable, because the skin will lose its shape the very next day, this idea is very original.
"Delicious" garland made of natural materials
Garland of photos
It looks especially cozy over the fireplace. To do this, you just need to pull the thread and attach the photos with clothespins. This idea is also great for couples who celebrate the New Year together. If you want to surprise, prepare joint photos in advance and make a garland out of them.
pasta decoration
For lazy people, there is also the opportunity to make a garland with your own hands, spending literally 10 minutes on it. You don't even need scissors, glue or stencils. It's about pasta.. Yes, you can make an original garland from ordinary curly pasta.
In supermarkets, you can buy figured pasta, which has a natural base. As a rule, they are also multi-colored. Using them to decorate a room is one of the most creative ideas, an embodiment.
Other original ideas
When decorating rooms for the New Year, you can embody any ideas that come to mind. Here are some more of them:
hallway decoration
birthday cake
In modern bakeries, they can depict absolutely any theme on the cake, creating a masterpiece out of it. You can make New Year's figures from mastic - Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, candles, a Christmas tree, in general, everything you can imagine. The only caveat is that you need to take care of this in advance. Considering that preparations for the New Year begin in early December, it is at this time that it is worth looking for a master.
