How to prepare your interior for the New Year?Which garland to choose? Should you decorate your bedroom and when to start eating from holiday plates? Professional decorator Zhenya Zhdanova answers all these questions in today's article. It's wonderful when a live Christmas tree appears in your home on the eve of the New Year. Undoubtedly, this is the easiest and most obvious way to create a festive atmosphere. But what if you don't have the opportunity to put up a live or even an artificial Christmas tree — space doesn't allow it, or there's a toddler or pet in the house who's about to tip the tree and its decorations right over his or her head? Or maybe you're planning a vacation right after the New Year celebrations and you just feel sorry to leave the forest beauty alone at home? We asked decorator Zhenya Zhdanova how you can create a festive atmosphere in your home and decorate your home without a Christmas tree. Zhenya Zhdanova, decorator Received two prestigious higher educations. In ten years, she has built a successful career in marketing and PR. One day, Zhenya started renovating her own apartment — and off it went. Today, Zhenya is a famous decorator and founder of her own interior boutique DivaDecor. divadecor.ru 1. Decorate a chandelier for the New Year — Ideally, we are talking about a chandelier over the table at which you plan to celebrate the New Year, but if you don’t have such a chandelier in your house, you can decorate a lamp in any room. Hang a garland of fir branches around the chandelier, add lights with an autonomous power supply, hang a few small Christmas tree decorations — and our art object is ready.
2.Decorating the Bedroom Take a garland of lights and attach it to the headboard area. You can put candlesticks, a small vase with a spruce branch on the bedside table next to it, and decorate the lampshade of the bedside lamp with toys or small garlands. Take out all the candlesticks you have in the house and place them in this room. Falling asleep in a bedroom with candles burning everywhere is a real pleasure - you can allow yourself this at least once a year. Zhenya Zhdanova, decorator: - It is easy to lay out a garland of lights in the shape of a Christmas tree, attaching it to glass or a wall. divadecor.ru
3.Decorating a table setting Many manufacturers are now releasing special New Year's tableware collections. Villeroy & Boch, the Imperial Porcelain Factory (LPF), and lesser-known manufacturers have this tradition. You can buy several tableware items and use them on the eve of the holiday. Tablecloths, napkins, table decor — all of this appears in abundance on the eve of the holidays. If you want to emphasize textiles, take a tablecloth with a traditional Christmas pattern, and use simple, laconic tableware without excessive decor. You can also do the opposite — use a calm textile base, and choose bright tableware and decor. Zhenya Zhdanova, decorator: — A small Christmas tree, a snowman, Father Frost, Snow Maiden, deer, or horses will always be appropriate on the New Year's table. And candles, candles, and more candles. Christmas balls in large transparent containers - vases, jars, dishes - will look spectacular. Don't forget about Christmas sweets - gingerbread cookies in the shape of Christmas trees, stars, snowflakes will be a wonderful table decoration and an excellent treat for you and your guests. divadecor.ru
4.Decorating windows It is ideal to use light New Year decorations - garlands, candlesticks, Christmas plot compositions. They will make your windows beautiful not only from the inside, but also from the outside, and your beautiful window will be noticeable from afar. If this is not technically possible, you can use Christmas wreaths made of fir branches, garlands, snowflakes and New Year's appliques. Put poinsettia on the windowsill, it is also called the "Christmas star". And do not forget to regularly spray the leaves with water - this flower does not tolerate drought. Add a couple of candles or fir branches to the composition.
5.Decorating the doors Decorating the front door with a Christmas wreath is traditional for Europeans and Americans, but what's stopping us from adopting this good tradition? You can buy ready-made wreaths, or you can make your own. The simplest things will do for this - pine cones, fir branches, a couple of toys and a flower. You can make a wreath from old Christmas tree decorations, and from balls of thread, and from felt, wine corks or cookie cutters.
6.Don't forget about Christmas music Fill the space with Christmas music. Diana Krall, George Michael, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and even Bob Dylan have Christmas albums. Music will give the interior the right sound.
