We bought it in a cottage village, rebuilt it a bit, and I enthusiastically took up the arrangement and decoration. At that time, I had just graduated from the British Higher School of Design and was fully immersed in a new profession, and my house became a testing ground for endless ideas. Decorating the house for the holidays is one of our family traditions. My mother made any holiday unusually beautiful, but New Year's, of course, stood out among them. Since childhood, I absorbed the feeling of a real holiday, and for me, room decor is a necessary attribute of real fun. And in our family there are many valuable items that are passed down from generation to generation. For example, an antique clock belonged to my great-grandmother, and now it hangs on the wall in my house.
Now I decorate my house every season.In winter, of course, this happens before the New Year, in spring - around Easter, in summer - closer to my birthday in August, and in autumn, in October, the gifts of nature from our garden become the decoration. Every New Year, many friends with children come to visit us, and it is simply necessary to arrange a New Year's fairy tale for children. Therefore, we think through all the surprises and gifts, holiday scenarios in advance. I actively involve my son in decorating the interior. We go shopping together, he happily joins in my ideas. He finds amazing toys for the Christmas tree and new characters for the mantelpiece. Every year we decorate it in a special way, for example, this year two hares are sitting on it. My son was also completely responsible for decorating the tree this year, and I must say he did a very good job.
I try to buy all my New Year's decor insmall designer stores where you can find really interesting, exclusive items. Last year, for example, I found some amazing Christmas tree decorations in the form of cutlery in one such store: a spoon, a fork, a knife. They look great as part of the decor of the chandelier above the holiday table. This year, I got some large wooden candlesticks. They decorated the porch of the house, and at night we light candles in them. It looks fabulous! Candles, in my opinion, are a necessary attribute of the New Year. And in general, this year we wanted to decorate the porch in front of the house so that the New Year mood begins right from the threshold. Therefore, it was decided not to remove the flower pots on the porch, but to decorate them in the New Year spirit. I bought decorative wreaths and Christmas balls in advance and made holiday compositions.
