Sometimes, in order to feel a surge of new strength, you just need to get involved in the festive fuss. Just look at your home through the eyes of a stranger. Is it ready to celebrate?
The house for the New Year can be decorated in colors characteristic of the winter season – pastel, blue, red, brown or green. Choosing the right shades, pay attention to the fact that they should be in harmony with the interior of the house. And also, do not forget to add additional accents to this color scheme, for example, by decorating the tablecloth and Christmas decorations with silver or gold paint.

Make the light festive

Light is what we still use at home on winter evenings. So why not make everyday lighting festive. When you go to the supermarket after work, take a look at the New Year's decor department – they probably sell simple and cheap garlands. Even if they turn out to be "disposable", it's okay – they will do their job perfectly. Buy one or more and after dinner start preparing the house for the holiday.

There are several options here. Unwind and simply lay the garlands on horizontal surfaces. It can be a chest of drawers, a TV stand or even window sills. Make sure there is a power source nearby and turn it on. Choose the slowest or no flashing mode to avoid tedious flickering of the lights. Do not worry about fire safety: almost all modern garlands are equipped with LED lamps, that is, LEDs that do not heat up.

You can place the garland in a large clear glass vase. Now this is not a vase, but a festive lamp that can complement or even replace ordinary wall lamps and floor lamps during the New Year celebrations. The contents of the vase can be supplemented with crumpled cellophane, which is usually used to wrap flowers and gifts. So the volume will appear in the vase, and in the dark it will seem that the light bulbs are frozen into the ice.

Light the candles

You will be surprised how much the atmosphere in the house will change if you replace lamps and fixtures with ordinary candles. And with the help of glue and sewing materials (beaded beads, ribbons, strips of bright fabrics and unnecessary buttons), you can easily give them a festive look.

And with the help of candles, you can fill the house with New Year's smells of a Christmas tree, tangerines, vanilla or cinnamon. Just put fragrant New Year's candles, and you will immediately feel the approach of the holiday!

Decorate the windows

During the preparation of the house for the New Year holidays, do not bypass the windows. You can draw frosty patterns on them. To do this, mix toothpaste with water, dip a sponge into the resulting mixture and blot the windows with it. And then let your imagination run wild and draw snowflakes and frosty swirls on the glass.

The mysterious winter forest also looks beautiful in the window. To create it, you will need several narrow long vases, dry branches, candles and ordinary pendants from an old chandelier. Putting vases with twigs in one row, fasten a small candle on the top of each branch, and put a crystal pendant along the stem.

Fairy lights

Any New Year's attribute will not look so atmospheric and festive without magic lights. Even a Christmas tree will look dull and sad without bright lights. Garlands can be purchased at any shopping center, but it will be cheaper and easier to purchase them on the Internet. With the development of marketplaces, this has become much easier.

Check the electrical wiring. Also, make sure the fire alarm is working.
Avoid fakes. Buy only certified garlands, sparklers and pyrotechnics.
Never use pyrotechnics inside the apartment. Including from a balcony or window. Lighting sparklers in the apartment is also prohibited.

Do not overload outlets. Do not use more than three garlands at once – traffic jams may not withstand.
Be careful. Do not leave switched on garlands and other electrical appliances unattended.
Do not smoke indoors. And always extinguish cigarettes and matches to the end.

Do not leave children alone with the tree. They can knock over a tree, choke on tinsel, cut themselves, damage wires and get an electric shock. And do not forget to close windows and balcony doors.
Take care of your pets. Animals should also not be left unattended: in the worst case, they can get hurt or burned, at best, they can break your expensive toy. Therefore, it is better to hang porcelain figurines at the very top of the Christmas tree.
