It can be tinsel or a garland on a bedside lamp, compositions with spruce branches and candles, balls over the window, a wreath at the head.
Christmas decorations for the kitchen

Christmas-themed dishes, garlands over the upper cabinets, cute decorations on the windows and railings, a few similar ideas in the photos below will help set a special mood. 
New Year's decoration of the children's room

A mirror is an indispensable item in a home interior; almost no room can do without it. In addition to the need to see our reflection in the mirror every day, we actively use mirrors to decorate and create a certain style.
Recently, the mirror has been actively used as a decorative item; various, sometimes whimsical, shapes or framed in an original frame, it brings an element of exclusivity to the interior and emphasizes the creative nature of its owners.
You can make a unique thing out of a simple mirror with your own hands, showing your imagination and bringing your own unique ideas to life.
For example, we offer three options for decorating a mirror to convince you how amazingly easy and interesting it is to decorate a mirror, what an exciting creative process it is, and what a great result.
Option one: cereal
Yes, yes, do not be surprised, it is cereals - rice, millet, pearl barley, buckwheat. The main thing is that it be coarse-grained, the grains of cereals should ultimately resemble beads.
Glue masking tape along the outer edge of the mirror, forming a frame. The next inner layer of the frame is double-sided tape, and again masking tape. The result is a triple frame. We spread the grits on a double-sided adhesive tape, smooth it with our hands, press it tightly against the adhesive tape, trying to get a frame that is uniform in thickness, which we cover with a gold spray. We remove the masking tape and get a three-dimensional frame, as if made of identical gold beads. On the outer and inner edges of the resulting frame, you can glue a little beads or glass beads; in color, they should be combined with gold, complementing or shading it. A glamorous mirror is ready to decorate your interior.
Option two: dry twigs
Dry twigs of different sizes can be picked up under the trees in the yard of your house. Glue a mirror onto a thin sheet of plywood using liquid nails. The size of the plywood should be larger than the mirror, as a result, a plywood frame is obtained, on which to lay out and glue the tree branches. Twigs primed and painted with plain paint. Between the branches, you can glue dry flowers, an artificial butterfly or dragonfly. Another exclusive, made by hand, will delight you with its simplicity and originality.
Option three: lace
Well, it's very simple. Any lace napkins, you can even use a paper napkin from under the cake. Put a napkin on a mirror, fix and cover with a frost resistant spray. If you want to get only a thin lace pattern, then you need to cover the outer edges of the napkin with paper, otherwise you will unwittingly cover part of the mirror around the napkin with the spray. In this case, a frosty frame with a lace pattern along the inner edge will turn out on the mirror - also very beautiful.
What other materials are used to decorate mirrors?
It can be pasta, coffee beans, corks, buttons, beads, shells, stained glass paints and a huge number of design options for mirrors and mirror frames, the main thing is to approach this matter creatively and boldly, and you will get an excellent result that will constantly delight you and surprise your guests.

How to decorate mirrors with rhinestones and film
For the New Year, everything should be beautifully decorated in a mysterious way. On this special holiday, even glass and mirrors are covered with unusual frosty patterns. This description tells how to decorate a window and a mirror for the New Year with your own hands, imitating frost and snowflakes.
To simulate a frosty pattern, you will need:
- white toothpaste
- sponge,
- water,
- thick paper
- scissors.
At the first stage, you need to create snowflakes from white thick paper, keep in mind that napkins will not work at all, because they are thin and quickly deteriorate from water. Fold the paper sheet several times as in the photo.
Then cut off the bottom so that the snowflake has smooth edges. You can cut teeth or waves on the bottom of the sheet, then the snowflake will turn out to be openwork and more beautiful.
Then, on the sides of the future snowflake, cut out a variety of small elements - circles, curls, even hearts or stars will do. Try to depict more elements, because then the snow product will turn out to be more interesting.
Unfold the leaf, which will turn into a snowflake. Make as many snowflakes as needed to evenly distribute them on your glass surface.
Now moisten the snowflake with water, you need to try so that only the wrong side gets wet.
Immediately attach the snowflake to the glass and smooth it out.
Immediately, without waiting for the water to dry and the edges of the snowflakes to rise from the surface of the mirrors, wet the sponge with water and squeeze toothpaste onto it, only white.
Apply white foam to the glass and over the snowflakes, carefully drawing the pattern.
The paste should cover the entire mirror evenly.
After a few minutes, you can shoot snowflakes.
In places where a large area turned out to be frost, you can draw stains or hearts. They are created with the help of a wet rag, as if the paste is being erased.

Window Design Ideas

Here it is recommended to use Western tradition and hang a wreath on the door of a country house from needles, cones and bells. The doorway is easily decorated with artificial snow, a horseshoe for good luck, paper snowflakes. You can make a composition with your own hands, but there are enough ready-made options for sale in stores.

Garlands are a classic way to decorate your home.
How to make a wire star
We bring to your attention another idea for decorating a house for the holiday - an unusual frame star. You get a kind of 3D effect if you make crafts in different sizes.
- Take flexible wire. Bend it so that you get a five-pointed star.
- Prepare a sketch of the star from the photo.
- Cut it out of colored or wrapping paper and fold over the edges so that they catch on the wire. Secure with tape if necessary.
- Glue the tinsel to the wire.
Stars can be hung from the ceiling in a checkerboard pattern, or you can decorate with garlands, rain, serpentine. It will hang down beautifully and create a festive atmosphere.
Advice! If you live in an apartment with high ceilings, be sure to hang something from them. This will visually narrow the room and create the effect of soaring handmade jewelry.
Photo for memory
A framed photo is in the house of every person. Refresh them, give them a New Year's mood: hang them on a serpentine or thick twine along the wall. Fill the free space with small balls, garlands and hand-made drawings.
After the celebration, print new photos and add them to the old ones. Such a composition can stay in the apartment until the very end of January. You will love this idea, and perhaps you will leave the photo on the rope, making them a permanent interior accessory.
Balls are everywhere
Ideas for the New Year are not limited only to the capabilities of the needlewoman. Use themed toys, glitter, industrial decorations to decorate the room.
Balls are a wonderful symbol of the New Year. They come in different colors, sizes, shiny, matte, with a rough surface, from different materials, expensive, cheap, vintage, modern, etc. A variant of the idea is to hang them on strings from the ceiling, fix windows in the opening in the kitchen and in the living room.
2019, we often ignore the hallway. But its atmosphere is the first thing that meets a person who enters the house. How to decorate the hallway for the New Year so that the festive mood meets you right from the doorstep?
When decorating the hallway, you need to take into account two main features of this room: it is usually small, but people in it are actively moving: they bend down to put on their shoes, put on and take off their coats. Therefore, there should be little decor in the hallway, and it should not interfere with the functionality of the room. It is better to place decorations where it is difficult to accidentally touch them: above the mirror, on the walls, under the ceiling.
How to decorate a house for the New Year 2019
: use garlands
Feel free to use garlands - there are rarely windows in the hallways, and elegant lighting here will not be superfluous. A garland with unusually shaped lanterns can be hung along the wall, and a network of small light bulbs can be placed under the ceiling. You can use them to decorate the mirror frame, doorways and any large items that are in your hallway.
The frame of a mirror or paintings can be crowned with weaving from fir branches. This decoration can be completed with balls and decorations, cone arrangements, small candles or artificial snow.
With sufficiently high ceilings, garlands under the ceiling can be supplemented with pendants in the form of New Year's stars, large cones, or.
We decorate the house for the New Year 2016: Christmas wreaths 
Traditional ones can be hung on the door, both from the outside and from the inside of the apartment. You can put such a wreath on a shelf under the mirror, and use it as an elegant New Year's candlestick. You can decorate a wall with it, or even temporarily replace a picture or panel with a wreath.
Go beyond the classic wreath. Experiment by decorating the wall with a whole spruce branch. Choose a fairly thick branch, cover the section of the wall under it with cling film so that the resin does not stain the wallpaper. Attach a few decorations to the branch itself. Choose something unusual, and leave the traditional balls for the main Christmas tree in the living room.
We decorate the house with New Year's installations
If there is enough space in the hallway, or at least on the shelf under the mirror, you can decorate it with New Year's installations. Here, nothing limits your imagination: a mini-composition of houses located on a tray, a New Year's chair with gift boxes and boots for small sweets, or even a whole Santa Claus sleigh.
Christmas mirror decor 
The mirror and mirror surfaces of the cabinets in the hallway can be beautifully decorated with “frosty patterns” made of toothpaste or acrylic paint. This is done simply: a stencil is fixed on the glass, the contours of which will remain empty: an openwork snowflake, trees or animals cut out of paper, and so on. On top of this stencil, liquid paint or toothpaste solution is applied to the glass. You should get a solid cloud of tiny splashes. This effect can be achieved with a toothbrush or dishwashing sponge. When the splashes of paint are dry, remove the stencil and you will have a delicate pattern on the "frosty" glass.
