The holiday is approaching and you need to make a decision about how to decorate the Christmas tree for the New Year, so that fairy tales and magic fill space, time and human consciousness. Any person who longs for a holiday can cope with the task, if he focuses on unspoken rules, tested in practice by more than one generation.

Stages of achieving desired results

Decorating a Christmas tree on the eve of the New Year holidays already in itself brings joy.But since I don’t really want to “grease” the pre-holiday mood and expect a miracle by confusion about the location of certain New Year’s accessories, it is worth taking a course on a pre-thought out procedure:

  1. The first step on the path to the long-awaited effect will be the decoration of the green beauty with garlands. The priority placement of this bulky element on the branches will greatly facilitate subsequent tasks.
  2. Given the fragility of Christmas tree decorations, it is recommended to begin placing them on top. This approach is especially relevant when choosing a tall Christmas tree.
  3. Using paper products as Christmas decorations, it is better to distribute them among the needles at the last moment. Since such toys are not particularly noticeable among the sparkling Christmas tinsel, they will play the role assigned to them only against the background of a fully finished picture.
  4. The final chord in the melody of the decor will be the decoration of the tree with artificial snow, rain, etc.
  5. An excellent addition to the festive interior can be those or other figures combined in mini-compositions. Relying on this method, it is possible to breathe in magic and the surrounding space.

A felled tree begins to live a completely different life as a result of decoration manipulations. To do this, use any suitable way of placing accessories:

  1. The chaotic placement of sparkling balls, combined with a circular pattern of applying garlands.
  2. Spiral arrangement of both garlands and toys (according to size and type). Thus, several spirals are formed on the tree, different in color and character.
  3. Longitudinal direction for garlands and toys, selected in accordance with the colors. A special effect is given by tinsel tied to bows between the verticals of toys.
  4. Adherents of the classical style, the ring arrangement of toys and garlands is recommended. Moreover, with the approach to the bottom of the tree, the size of the decorations increases.

Classic-style Christmas tree

The celebration in the classical style gives rise to the feeling that a beautiful moment is stopped, as if by the wave of some inexplicable magic. Decorations in this style will help people of any age to plunge into the atmosphere of bygone years again. Fragments from old films or postcards can be used as a sample.

The main attributes of decorating a classic Christmas tree are:

  • toys in silver and golden hues;
  • the presence of red ribbons and other bright accents;
  • caramel type balls and sticks;
  • toys curved in the shape of a hook;
  • angels, ballerinas and other items made of paper or cardboard;
  • garlands of different types;
  • use of peaked top.

Preferring high spruce, it is better to put it in the center of the room. A smaller green beauty will look good on a table or chest of drawers. Old toys that grandma’s childhood remembers harmoniously fit into the New Year’s decoration in the classical style. A rain and paper decorations can be hung not only on the Christmas tree, but also in the openings between furniture, on the walls.

Decorations for the New Year in the style of modernity

Each note in the interior melody should be consonant with the general style. The need to decorate the Christmas tree in a room decorated for hi-tech, minimalism or another modern decision requires the choice of a coniferous beauty of strictly the correct form. In terms of toys, one should keep an eye on objects of a neutral appearance, like balls that are similar in color but different in size.Paper decorations in this case are completely inappropriate, since they will be knocked out of the general row - and spoil the impression with a naive look. Do not get too carried away with New Year's tinsel.

To become a contemporary, a follower of modern style in the interior would be nice to get acquainted with fashionable ideas from the designers of our time. In this capacity, technological designs can be presented that are very similar in shape to a Christmas tree:

  • Christmas beauty, expertly cut out of paper or cardboard;
  • a product from combined materials;
  • imitation of spruce made of plastic;
  • composition from recycled materials (plastic bottles, aluminum cans, etc.).

Orientation is only on your own mood and the surrounding interior. The most important thing is to emphasize individuality and profitably present the chosen style.

The nuances of decorating an artificial Christmas tree

Decorating an artificial Christmas tree is much easier than an analogue taken from the natural environment. The trick is that products with branches of only the correct shape go off the conveyors of the manufacturer. Starting to decorate, you do not have to use any special toys, since any will do. The main restrictions can only be associated with the color of the product. For example: the desire to achieve contrast with toys on white spruce requires the exclusion of objects painted with light and silver paint. An excellent solution is the decoration of colorful toys. A special effect is observed when observing the sequence, as in rainbow colors. But the reflections of garlands can only be enjoyed in the dark, since they are almost invisible in a lit room.

Some nuances are also present in the decoration of multi-colored artificial fir trees. These items are so pretty that they can do without toys. In these cases, the decor should only be used to decorate the surrounding space. If necessary, branches of artificial origin are not at all difficult to repaint on their own.

Unique design - the perfect solution for people with imagination

The design of the New Year miracle is not connected by any framework. People with unlimited imagination and creative ideas, I can adopt a unique design:

  • from flowers or fruits;
  • the use of candles (subject to mandatory compliance with fire safety measures);
  • opt for knitted items;
  • implementation of thematic ideas through old gadgets or accessories, etc.

If each of the inhabitants of the house has their own ideas regarding New Year decorations, then no one will interfere with the use of several Christmas trees placed in different rooms. In this case, you can choose both a living beauty and artificial options of any color. Any of the ultra-modern options for a creative look is perfectly acceptable.

Color choice

One of the most important roles in decorating the Christmas tree for the New Year is played by the choice of color predominance:

  1. The royal combination in terms of colors and shades is the dominance of red and gold jewelry. In order not to spoil the picture, it is very important to stay and not to dilute the red-golden gamut with other colors.
  2. The freshness of the solution will please the choice in favor of white and red tones. But here you should remember about the boring form of garlands of exclusively white color. In such tones, only balls look great.
  3. The combination of brown and gold shades will surprise the noble composition. Here it will not be superfluous to add a certain amount of details painted in red tones.
  4. The magic of yellow-brown-green colors is only enhanced in combination with red and pink jewelry.
  5. The harmony of white, green and silver color will not be spoiled by some details in dark colors.
  6. The use of toys of blue, violet and silver color can become an imitation of the winter mood, inspired by the view of flickering snow and ice. To enhance the effect of bluish lighting. Blotches of yellow or red are not welcome.
  7. In the presence of simple and clean lighting, metallic colors look great (gold, silver, bronze, etc.).

Balls collected in more than one year can serve as the basis for decorating the Christmas tree. In addition, to the toys of past years, you can always add new options or acquire especially valuable, designer jewelry. When experimenting with a particular color, you can give preference to matte, shiny objects or use their combination. One must be especially careful with the choice of size, since diversity in this regard can adversely affect the final result. And in decorating the New Year's holiday with the help of garlands, products with small bulbs will provide special grace, allowing you to focus all your attention on the Christmas tree.
