Strict composition
Involves stylish decoration. May consist of different elements. Usually these are fir cones, dry pine twigs, candles, and ribbons. The decor is formed in a basket or transparent vase, and then placed on a table or open shelf. It is especially good if the spruce branches are fresh, then it will also be possible to introduce the appropriate aroma into the room. And to really immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere, you can add dry tangerine peels - the corresponding aroma will spread throughout the house.
Garland
Twinkling lights are always associated with the holidays, and for some reason they add a couple of points to the comfort and coziness of the room. But if you are not a fan of bright colors, then you can choose a one-color garland with warm light. It is better to give preference to laconic models without any frills. It can be hung on a cornice, laid out on a shelf, wrapped in a wreath, or decorated with a mirror or a side table.
Christmas tree
If you really can’t imagine the New Year without pine or spruce, then the main thing is less decor. Let the tree be an accent in your interior, do not overload it with toys and “rain”. A couple of bright touches or a minimalist garland are enough to avoid pushing the holiday symbol into the background.
Let your Christmas tree be decorated with unique products. For example, those made by children, or by yourself.
New Year's wreath
He also has the right to life, but he just has to be kept in a strict style - without bows, tinsel, or additional toys. Give preference to monochrome products that contain fresh or dry spruce or pine branches. Another good option is wicker ones made of wood and decorated with a couple of branches.
Makeshift tree
Who said that for the New Year you can only put up an artificial or live spruce? That's right - no one. Therefore, you have time to create your own unique tree, which will become the main accent of the house.
In addition, this is an excellent alternative to a Christmas tree for small spaces.
And remember: the New Year’s atmosphere should not be oppressive, but only slightly felt, hovering in the air, and let the decorations be an accent, and not a greasy coating on the interior.
