New Year is a holiday that both adults and children look forward to. On this amazing night, your most cherished dreams come true and incredible desires come true.
For the holiday, they get old notebooks with their favorite recipes, come up with unusual congratulations and competitions, buy new outfits and sew carnival costumes. And, of course, you can’t do without decorating your apartment.
Of course, you can get by with the usual tinsel wrapped around curtains, or you can come up with an unusual decor that creates the mood of a New Year's fairy tale.
In most cases, there will be no need to buy expensive accessories: all decorations can be made with your own hands from scrap materials or taken from the mezzanine, where they were stored for several years.
But simply hanging tinsel, balloons, and garlands will not be interesting. Decorations should create an aura of warmth and comfort without conflicting with decoration and furniture.
Cozy New Year's colors 2022 - 2023 for decorating your home and apartment
All shades of white and blue symbolize purity and newness in Western cultures and are ideal for room decor for the New Year. White feathers and light faux fur snowflakes, soft throw pillows and bold blankets in white, gray and blue are modern accents for Christmas decorations.
Terracotta, burgundy, purple tones, golden colors are the main interior colors that create a light, bright and airy New Year's room decor, fashionable at the turn of 2022 and 2022.
Dark Christmas colors and gold decorations are the perfect combination of warm and cozy tones suitable for the winter holidays.
Choice of colors
Typically, New Year's colors are red and green. They give the apartment brightness, elegance, fun and bring back memories of childhood, a green Christmas tree and the inevitable red star on the top of the head.
But lately, housewives are increasingly choosing calmer shades. The charm of a winter fairy tale is gracefully emphasized:
- silver;
- blue;
- pale purple;
- golden yellow shades.
These colors will give the rooms a light mood of sophistication and grace, suitable for any interior.
How to decorate a room for the New Year with homemade paper decor
New Year's paper decorations are one of the most unusual and cheap ideas for a charming winter interior.
Handmade snowflakes are perfect for decorating any room on New Year's Eve.
Use square or rectangular sheets of paper. You will need six sheets of paper for each snowflake.
- Fold a piece of paper diagonally to form a triangle. Cut off the excess paper if it is rectangular in shape. Select one vertex of the triangle. This will be the reference line for cutting the strips.
- Make a few cuts to create stripes and then start creating the snowflake details.
- First, fold the smallest strips on top of each other and join them together.
- Turn the snowflake piece upside down and place the next large strips next to each other, using a binder to hold them together. Turn the snowflake upside down again and repeat for all the stripes, creating one of the six snowflake pieces.
- Make five more snowflake pieces, repeating the process. Then start designing the snowflake. Place three pieces together to make half a large snowflake. Sew the left and right sides of the snowflake together.
- Snowflake is ready for a stunning decoration on windows, ceilings or walls.
Use snowflakes and paper garlands as attractive, eco-friendly, and inexpensive room decorations while adding creative and unique decorative accents to your 2021-2022 New Year's holiday decor.
Walls
Walls can be decorated:
- balls;
- wreaths;
- snowflakes;
- compositions made from natural materials;
- electric lights mounted in the form of a light panel;
- paper garlands or flags.
Tip: a composition made of any materials, laid out in the form of a New Year's tree, will look unusual. It will replace the holiday symbol in rooms where a large Christmas tree was not placed - in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the nursery - or in a one-room apartment where there is very little space.

Let's start with the front door
Of course, you need to start decorating your home with it. The front door is the face of the entire apartment. If it looks festive, then the whole home will also have a festive look. Here are some simple and inexpensive ideas on how to do it better.
- Take a piece of wallpaper equal to the length and width of the door. We stick it on the door from the inside. We draw some funny holiday picture on it. Or - we write congratulations. Or both. Moreover, you don’t need to glue anything with glue - then you won’t be able to tear it off, and the appearance of the door will deteriorate. It is best to use masking tape for this purpose.
- Don't know how to draw? No problem. In this case, the door can be decorated with purchased stickers. They are sold in abundance in stores and are quite inexpensive.
- Tinsel or garlands hung above the door will look festive and beautiful.
- If you have time and desire, you can attach a stylized Christmas tree to the door. But not a simple one, but a voluminous one, made, for example, from paper rings. And if you also decorate such a Christmas tree, it will be an additional plus. How to decorate? Basically, the same thing that decorates a regular Christmas tree. Of course, there should be few decorations, otherwise the door will be difficult to open.
- Here’s another idea - tie the door with ribbons so that it resembles a New Year’s gift.
- Around the door, snowflakes, hearts and geometric figures, glued with tape or suspended from the ceiling on strings, will look good, as well as images of animals and New Year's characters: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snowman, deer, etc.
Edible decor in the kitchen
Moderation should be observed in kitchen decor. The best edible decorations would be gingerbread houses, New Year-themed gingerbread cookies, and fruit or candy baskets. On the windows in the kitchen they hang not balls, but sweets and fruits, tied with satin ribbons.
From fabric
To make this decoration you will need:
- Crepe (crumpled) paper (any color);
- Styrofoam ball;
- Ribbons (narrow, to match the color of the paper);
- Beads (preferably matching the color of the paper);
- Scissors;
- Hot glue;
- Sequins;
- Gypsy needle.
Manufacturing process:
- Using a needle, insert the tape , previously folded in half, into the foam ball - start inserting it from the middle. After making sure that the ribbon is deep enough so as not to jump out, you can drop a drop of glue, and after drying, tie it into a beautiful bow.
- the crepe paper into a tube and cut into small squares . Unwind them to form ribbons, and bend one end into a triangle downwards. Wrap the rest of the ribbon in a circle, sometimes bending it, to make a rose. When the flower is ready, attach the triangle to the bottom of the rose with glue.
- Once you have made enough roses , glue them to the foam ball. Glue beads into the resulting empty spaces after gluing, and sprinkle the roses with sparkles.
