Hello, today I want to touch on the topic of apartment (house) design for this magnificent holiday. If you remember the last article was called: and whoever needs it on this significant day, I advise you to read it... After all, there are more and more ideas every time. Fresh ideas appear that it’s impossible to remember everything at once, so I decided to write it down and share it with you, because for sure, every time you want something new, unusual and sophisticated.
Long before the holiday, we begin to choose gifts for loved ones, loved ones, and relatives. We do some general cleaning and take out the Christmas tree with balls, but this is not enough. We want a complete transformation of our home, we want to get into an unreal fairy tale on the night of 31st to 1st. To do this, all details must be calculated down to the smallest detail; they must be combined with the style of your home, especially when it comes to color range. Creating the perfect interior for the holiday is not as difficult as it might seem. You may think that this is too expensive, but I assure you you will be too surprised when I tell you how to make the perfect decoration with your own hands from scrap materials.
The very first thing we must do is decide suitable color for this. But since 2019 is Yellow Earth Pig(Boar), then you shouldn’t decorate the house too brightly. I suggest the following:
Brown - symbolizes stability, devotion, stability.
Yellow is always associated with wealth.
Green - stability.
Golden - wealth.
Beige is a symbol of warmth, comfort, harmony.
Silver - distinguished by its durability and ability to reduce anxiety.
We can also traditionally use white, red, black.
If you choose one of these options, then be sure that on a wonderful night, both children and adults will plunge into a magical fairy tale.
I want to tell and show several ways to decorate a house (apartment) with your own hands using available materials.
Many people believe that if you decorate a house on New Year, then you will thereby attract joy, prosperity and good luck to your family. And as a person who believes in all mystical stories, I prefer to listen and therefore always start from the living room.
The fastest, easiest and most inexpensive option for holiday decoration of an apartment is considered to be plain white or colored paper. With its help you can make incredible decorations on walls, windows, doors and even on the ceiling.
Windows and doors can be considered the gates through which the holiday enters. We have all been familiar with the art of creating snowflakes since childhood. They are the first thing that comes to mind; you can cut out snowflakes very beautifully and place them on windows or doors.
You can also draw on paper and cut out any characters associated with this event. My sister works at kindergarten and every year she uses this idea with different characters, the kids really like it.
You can depict any patterns on paper, you can create a whole composition, put a paper Santa Claus and Snow Maiden on the windowsill, or draw a magical forest on the windows. It all depends on your imagination.
You can also draw cartoon characters, for example, ballerinas - tie a string for them and decorate the ceiling with them, you can also use snowflakes, various types garlands made of paper, the interior turns out spectacular.
An amazing design, for which we only need nothing: paper, scissors, strings. You can get stencils on the Internet and print them out, but take your time and draw a fairy tale with your own hands.
Simple New Year's decoration from scrap materials - Original ideas
Rely on Santa Claus, but don’t be bad yourself, because he only brings gifts, and we create the mood for ourselves, that’s what my little niece says, and every year she makes me decorate the house. But we don’t have enough time to go shopping, so we come up with the details using improvised materials.
It has become very popular to make New Year's toys from felt. They turn out to be quite interesting and unusual.
To do this, I take and draw any animal on it, for example, a deer - I cut it out, apply it to felt, and prepare patterns.
Advice: If you are having trouble with fine arts use templates from the Internet.
I cut out blanks and make outlines. I sew the details of the figure by hand, but you can use sewing machine. To make the toy more voluminous, I put cotton wool in it, Voila, everything is ready.
Most homes are bound to have foam insulation, and this is another improvised means, which can be used for our purposes. To do this, we just need to cut out the decorations using a metal knife. Then, if necessary, decorate the products.
How do you like these ideas from plastic bottles, I think it’s very beautiful and I’ve never seen anything like this in anyone’s house.
You can make this original attribute from an old CD and a transparent ball. We cut the disk randomly into small ones (circles, triangles, squares), then use a glue gun to glue them onto the balls.
You can cut out New Year's characters from plywood.
A good option for decorating curtains.
Inexpensive New Year's decoration with branches: Interesting design ideas
Dry, inconspicuous branches can be an excellent element for beautiful design your home. We usually start New Year's decor by preparing materials.
Using a can of spray paint, paint the tree branches silver or white, then let them dry. Now we decorate with Christmas decorations, bows.
You can also make compositions from coniferous branches. One option is New Year's garland. We take a rope or wire as a base and tie small branches to it. Then we decorate with small Christmas balls and red ribbons. Garlands look good in the doorway and near the fireplace if there is one.
The most common option for decorating a door is a wreath of branches. You can decorate it with any available materials. Cones, balls, ribbons, colored paper.
How to beautifully decorate a country house with tinsel
Many friends and colleagues are already hinting that the New Year is coming very soon and we need to figure out how to put our country house in order. You can do this for the holiday using tinsel. Choose matching colors, it is advisable to choose them for the interior so that they look original and beautiful. Although it went out of fashion several years ago, there are still people who love this beautiful Christmas tree decoration.
I hang tinsel on a wall or doorway and use tape or a pin to secure it to create the look of a fluffy curtain. You can also stretch it to the ceiling, hanging slightly.
The second step is decorating the chandelier. We attach three tinsel to it, and hang Christmas balls, cut out snowflakes or other decorations from their ends.
You can also make a wonderful garland. We attach different colors in waves to the wall using pins.
We attach our main attribute around the table and you can also decorate chairs around the edges.
We sew tinsel to the bottom of the curtains and decorate New Year's applications from rhinestones If your home has a staircase, wrap it with this decoration too.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this, you just need to use a little imagination and everything will work out.
Video on how to decorate an apartment in warm colors
Do you want to create Christmas mood, then be sure to watch this video.
Today you looked at some pretty simple ways to decorate your cozy homes. And there is no need to be upset if the New Year's interior does not turn out the way it was intended or looks in the picture, the most important thing is that it was all done with love.
There is very little time left until the New Year! And what would New Year be without a green Christmas tree? Of course, a large and real Christmas tree is very beautiful, but you can also make a small one, which you can put, for example, in the kitchen for decoration or make it one of the components of the New Year's tree.
To make this little green beauty we will need:
- medium density cardboard;
- tinsel green average diameter 3-5 cm;
- small multi-colored pom-poms;
- super glue or any other glue;
- scissors;
- red wrapping paper.
Next, we make a cone from this cardboard square and glue its edges using super glue. We trim the bottom of the cone with scissors so that our future Christmas tree stands straight.
At our house we already had a purchased star-bow for the top of the Christmas tree, but it’s quite possible to make one yourself from a bright wrapping paper red.
And using super glue or double-sided tape, glue the star to the top of the cone.
Then, again, glue one of the ends of the green tinsel onto the glue. We do this right under the asterisk. And we wrap our cone from top to bottom with tinsel. At the bottom, you again need to glue the end of the tinsel, otherwise our Christmas tree will “bloom.”
Well, now the fun part! Decorating our Christmas tree. I recently bought a craft made from pompoms for my eldest son, and after making it we had some extra pompoms left.
In principle, instead of them, you can use anything for decoration, for example, make small bows from narrow satin ribbons or decorate with snowflakes cut out of colored paper. In general, who has enough imagination for what?
Well, we decorated our Christmas tree with multi-colored pompoms, carefully gluing them to the tinsel super glue in a chaotic manner. And added three silver snowflakes.
Here we have such an elegant little Christmas tree. The child persuaded me to make it the main component of our New Year's composition V kindergarten on the theme "Winter Fantasy".
Happy New Year to everyone!

Beautiful New Year's toy- snow globe - familiar to everyone since childhood. If you have never had such a ball, then give yourself a small gift.
14. Place deer/snowmen/Santa Claus figurines around the house

15. Set up a gingerbread house in the kitchen
Oh, he is so beautiful and so delicious. Nowadays you can buy a beautiful gingerbread house at the nearest confectionery shop: its main advantage is that it can even last for several months. If you want to increase the New Year's euphoria, prepare it yourself:

An original way to diversify the interior is to place glass jars filled with New Year's things. A little tinsel, a couple of toys, snow, two cinnamon sticks... It turns out beautiful and stylish.
25. We write the numbers of the new year
Do festive composition, in which you can read the date of the next year. For example, put a number on the wall with tinsel or hang 4 balls, each with a number written on it.
Happy New Year!
Nowadays it is difficult to surprise with anything. So the Christmas tree on the wall is no longer news to anyone. And most importantly this original idea A great opportunity to place the main symbol of the New Year in your apartment, even for those who have a small apartment. In general, an original Christmas tree on the wall is beautiful and convenient.
From what and how to make a winter beauty on the wall with your own hands, see below.
Wooden Christmas tree on the wall
In fact, anyone can make a Christmas tree on the wall; there is nothing difficult about it. And most importantly, depending on your preferences, you can make an unusual Christmas tree on the wall that will delight you!
For those who love natural textures, I advise you to make a Christmas tree for the wall from wooden sticks. Wooden sticks can be tied together with a bright dense thread close to each other (and, of course, decorated with a garland and toys).
Or tie them at a greater distance and with a fishing line that will be practically invisible. Or glue wooden sticks (branches) to the wall, for example with double-sided tape.
And by the way, you can move away from the traditional decoration of the Christmas tree with garlands and toys, and, for example, paint the branches, as shown in the photo below.
Or you can make an equally original Christmas tree for the wall from even slats. And as expected with a trunk, it also turns out quite nice and beautiful. And it’s also a good idea to make it from round cuts of branches and logs.
Wall Christmas tree in minimalist style
Looks quite impressive christmas tree, made from one thing: purely from a garland, drawn or from toys. A sort of stylish minimalism.
You can even use boxes with cute mini gifts (it almost turns out to be an advent calendar).
In addition, Christmas balls are perfect for this idea like nothing else. See for yourself in the photo below. It turns out to be a spectacular wall tree. Which will definitely surprise your loved ones. Make a Christmas tree like this New Year's balls above some cabinet or chest of drawers and it will be convenient to put gifts on the shelf.
Speaking of shelves, you can make a New Year’s wall tree from the shelves, put photo frames on them, put mini-gifts, etc.
In general, shelves are a godsend, you can make a Christmas tree out of shelves in the corner, or you can put a Christmas tree out of books on a shelf, etc. - give free rein to your imagination.
In addition, you can combine the above methods: drawing + garland + toys = a very beautiful and unusual New Year tree.
I also like using regular yarn. Wool thread(or any other thick thread - so that it can be seen) glue it to the wall with colored tape, use the same tape to glue toys - mega simple and original way make a Christmas tree for the wall.
Another simple way is to stick regular stickers. By the way, such a tree can be made not as the main hero of the occasion, but as a reminder board, so that nothing is forgotten when preparing for the New Year.
DIY fabric Christmas tree
If you have children, you simply must try the following idea. True, to implement it you will have to work a little. You will need felt or some other fabric. You will need to cut out a Christmas tree from green fabric and sew toys. fasten ready-made toys You can use double tape or French pins. Of course, you can use ordinary toys and it will work out well too.
Of course, this kind of “toys” for children can be bought without any problems in the store, and there are not only fabric ones, but also cool refrigerator magnets: a Christmas tree and toys for it, or wooden ones: lace-up Christmas trees or puzzles.
Continuing the theme of creating a Christmas tree from fabric, we can recommend ordering photo printing on canvas. Stretch a fabric with a Christmas tree image onto a frame, hang it on the wall and decorate. It turns out to be an almost living Christmas tree, but so compact.
The previous option will require money, and you will also need to find a company that will do the printing. Therefore, I hasten to show you another wall-mounted tree made of fabric. To create it you will need cardboard and lycra. You need to make “lens-shaped” ribs from cardboard, which you then wrap in lycra and place a garland inside.
Build a star out of wire on the top and also cover it with lycra. By the way, the body of the tree itself can be made of thick wire.
If such a wall tree seems too simple/dull to you, decorate it with light, translucent snowflakes.
Well, for those who don’t want to fuss for a long time, the following fabric Christmas tree is suitable. You need a piece of green fabric (the more you take, the larger the tree will be), attach it to the wall and form a triangle. Then simply decorate to your taste.
Wall tree made from scrap materials
In general, of course, a Christmas tree on the wall can be made from any available materials: toys, keys, brooches, gift boxes, photographs and even mugs. Whatever your heart desires! The main thing is to do it in good mood. The result will be a homely, “cozy” New Year’s beauty imbued with your spiritual warmth, and not a single store-bought tree can compare with this.
If the walls allow, you can carefully glue strips of electrical tape or adhesive tape on them - you will get a nice, neat Christmas tree. Below is a version of a “desktop” Christmas tree, which, moreover, does not take up even a centimeter of work space. Which you will notice is very convenient.
In a similar way, you can make an unusual Christmas tree that covers the entire wall. In addition to strips of electrical tape, add tinsel to it, and attach a thread with clothespins or paper clips, on which you can later attach family photos.
If your walls are covered with wallpaper, then, of course, it is sacrilege to put tape or tape on them, of course, unless you are planning renovations after the New Year. And so you can make a similar wall-mounted tree with photographs from a garland, which you attach to the wall using stationery nails for fastening. Then you can attach photographs to clothespins for your own pleasure.
Or you can make a beautiful wall-mounted tree from slats and wire. From the slats you need to make an elongated triangle (contour) with wrong side Attach the wire to the staples as shown in the photo. Once again, you can attach photographs to the wire using clothespins. It turns out to be a beautiful wall tree.
By the way, this idea in itself is cool, but you can transform it a little and you will be able to make a simply magical hero of the occasion with your own hands! You will need planks, from which you again need to make a triangle, but this time (as you can see in the photo below), it will be “volumetric”. You need to drive nails into the front surface, on which you can then hang an electric garland or any other, toys, photographs, etc. whatever your heart desires. It turns out unusual and very beautiful.
Of course, now you can even buy a Christmas tree for the wall in a store - regular stickers or some more interesting options.
However, to be honest, in my opinion, as I wrote above: not a single store-bought beauty can compare with a DIY Christmas tree made with love.
However, as they say, there are no comrades according to taste! Choose what you like and happy new year!
New Year without a Christmas tree is not New Year! But what if there is simply nowhere to put it? It turns out that there is a solution: in every home or office there is an empty wall on which you can build a very nice New Year’s tree from scrap materials! Find a suitable option for yourself on the Internet or use the advice of our designer Alisa Ponizovskaya - she made all the Christmas trees for you with her own hands!
Indeed, what should you do if you want a Christmas tree, but your apartment is tiny or there is no room at work for a large tree? Free wall - ideal option for placing the Christmas tree: abandoning it traditional look, you get a real art object, made with your own hands and causing delight among your friends! You can create such a Christmas tree from almost anything you have at hand - there are no restrictions on materials, just as there are no restrictions on height, it all depends on your imagination!
The simplest option is a tinsel tree, it can be made in any color, for example, to match the tone of your interior. You will need double-sided adhesive tape; it is better to take thick white tape rather than thin transparent tape - it sticks well to the wall and does not leave marks! Cutting off small adhesive pieces, attach the tinsel to the wall, starting from the top, try to make the branches more or less symmetrical (you can draw the outline of the tree in advance with a pencil).
If one fluffy outline is not enough for you, you can decorate the Christmas tree! Using special hooks or straightened paper clips, hang a few Christmas tree decorations on the “branches” - they should be small and light, otherwise the tinsel will come off the wall.
In the same way, you can make a Christmas tree from a luminous garland., the only difference is that it is more convenient to attach it with push pins. First, make an outline of buttons on the wall (if they are tight, use a small hammer or something heavy that you have on hand), and then pull a garland over the buttons. In this case, the reverse procedure is impossible - if you attach the garland itself with buttons, you can damage the insulation, and electricity is not to be trifled with! Now let's light it up - magical!
Why not make the tree... wooden? Are the trees in your yard being cut down? Ask them to cut small thin circles for you! Tree cuts can also be purchased at florist stores. We attach a small loop of colored braid to each circle using a furniture stapler and place it on the wall using buttons.
This Christmas tree can be any size, if you managed to get very small rounds, you can even make it in the form of a postcard and give it to one of your friends or put it on the table in the office. Glue the cuts onto the cardboard - this time it will be more convenient to use glue, the only thing is that it is better to do this in advance and put your souvenir under the press so that nothing falls off at the most crucial moment!
You can also make a mini-Christmas tree for a postcard from buttons- they are in almost every home; you usually don’t dare throw these treasures away! Choose convex and shiny buttons to make the tree as elegant as possible; you can attach them using soft double-sided adhesive tape, or simply sew them to cardboard - to be sure of the result!
A beautiful Christmas tree can be cut out of paper - it doesn’t have to be green, feel free to take any wrapper, for example, we used striped one. Fold the paper in half vertically and cut out the outline of one side of the tree; if in doubt about the result, first draw it with a ruler. Now we unfold it and attach it to the wall, you can use small adhesive pads for this purpose, and nothing will happen to your exquisite wallpaper! You can decorate such a Christmas tree with small toys or wooden cuts that are already familiar to us.
In general, in this case, absolutely anye items- the male part of our friendly team decided that the best decoration the striped tree will become a fan scarf with Paolo Maldini! Of course, we didn’t object - it turned out to be original!
And they decided to make the next option out of all sorts of nonsense: they took artificial flowers, took off their decorations, asked the children to bring some Christmas tree beads and toys, including those made by themselves, added something else that came to hand, and what an amazing and beautiful Christmas tree we got!
Well, if you decide to spend the holidays outside the city, you probably have two or three wonderful slats left over from construction. You will need one long one for the barrel, and a few more short ones. For example, our long strip turned out to be 50 cm long, and we sawed the small ones in this way: two (for the lower branches) 30 cm each, two (for the middle branches) 20 cm each, and the rest - 10 cm each (as much as enough slats!). If the house is wooden, the slats can be nailed to the wall with small nails, and if you have a major renovation in your dacha, then you will probably find a piece of plywood or drywall suitable size, which you won’t mind using for art experiments. To make the natural tree look more impressive, we covered the surface under the Christmas tree with the remains of black wallpaper, and planted shiny birds of paradise on the branches.
And one more option - a brutal, purely masculine Christmas tree made from ordinary pieces of wood, selected by size and tied with a sailor's knot into a ladder. Have you set up a barbecue? Quickly take the remaining unclaimed pieces of wood, a coarser rope and knit this beauty!
There is a paradox at work here - the more unsightly and rough the source materials, the more unexpected and spectacular the result! You can hang such an art object both inside and outside the house. The ladies wanted glamor - decorate your Christmas tree with beads or an electric garland, if, of course, there is an outlet nearby!
A Christmas tree on the wall is a completely worthy alternative to the traditional approach to New Year's decorations. Create christmas tree with your own hands, and let it create a festive, magical mood for both you and your loved ones!
