In order for the decor for the New Year to look harmonious, you need to follow simple rules.
Depends on their implementation, how stylish and tasteful the room will look:
Do not combine too bright and catchy colors. At the same time used, for example, bright red, yellow, purple in the interior, they will quickly tire and will annoyingly dazzle. This also applies to metallic colors: for example, a bronze or gold shade cannot be combined with silver. This is considered a manifestation of bad taste.
Do not use different styles in the design. For example, classic glass angels will not be in harmony with homemade birds from textiles.
Observe dimension. Do not place too small elements on large surfaces and vice versa.
Always know the measure in decorating. Do not abuse the decor, arrange the room evenly so as not to concentrate in one place. For example, a garland, a wreath with a Christmas tree in one corner will look chur.
Properly selected decorative objects can create a full festive atmosphere.
The choice of style
When deciding to make a Christmas decor with your own hands, ideas for this may be different. It all depends on the overall style of the room:
Lovers of classics will use a tall spruce with traditional decoration (angels, stars, balls in gold and white colors, beads as garlands);
Crafts from natural materials, rags, felt, dried fruits will become relevant for eco-style;
Scandinavian style, high-tech will also look relevant with the "classics";
Minimalism can be present in any home design, as it implies the use of only a small amount of decor.
It is necessary to take into account not only the interior, but also the size of the decorated room. Small rooms should not be abundantly forced to decorate objects, as they will interfere with familiar activities.A few noticeable accents will be enough (for example, a Christmas tree, a Christmas wreath, composition). “Spray” in such a case is not necessary. Small details will steal space, this will not lead to high-quality Christmas decoration.
Many people choose the style for the Chinese New Year, while the decor differs from our usual one. Red colors prevail in the design, artificial trees are decorated with fresh fruits in sugar, candied fruit. It is customary to arrange trays with 8 different types of fruits in different angles of the house. But choosing this style, you need to consider that the dates of the New Year in our country and China do not coincide, so such a celebration may not be relevant.
Having chosen the design design for the New Year, it is worth paying attention to each decor item separately, it will be convinced of its relevance.

The small size for a large Christmas tree is unacceptable, the same as the large for a small tree.The best option would be to use the sizes “in increasing order” - from the top of the tree to arrange small sizes of decorations gradually increasing the size to the bottom of the New Year tree;
