THE New Year is quickly approaching, and so are parties marked by decorations. These decorations come in all shapes and sizes, with one thing in common: They set the mood for an evening of celebrations.
However, the sea of inspiration can be tough to navigate. That is why we have put together a guide from interior design experts to help you decorate for New Year’s Eve. Read on for tips on creating an unforgettable evening.
The pivotal part of decorating for New Year’s Eve is creating an environment that is perfectly pretty and perfect for socialising. With this in mind, focus on the hosting areas first. This could include the living room, patio or outdoor area, dining room and kitchen.
Thereafter, you can add finishing touches to other spaces like the powder room and hall. Stick to a New Year’s party theme. Browse through a few party theme ideas and pick your favourite. By keeping to a look, decorating will be both efficient and without unnecessary expenditure. Decide on colours before buying New Year’s decorations. One primary and two complementary tones are enough.Go big but with less. You can create an impressive feature wall with two or three oversized balloons and a “Happy New Year” banner. Too much décor can feel cluttered and overwhelming.
Decorate the table with socialising in mind. Be practical and do not overdecorate.
Ensure there is enough elbow room for guests to move their arms freely without the risk of knocking something over.
Choose neutral, soft flowers. Fragrant flowers can cause irritation or even an allergic reaction in some people. So, keep to blooms that have a subtle or neutral scent.
Set up a self-serve bar or bar cart. Make sure guests can help themselves to snacks and drinks. A separate bar section will also free up surface area and encourage social interaction, especially when it is beautifully decorated.
Add visual depth with height. Use New Year’s Eve decorations of different lengths and sizes. Floating helium balloons or suspended pompoms can make a room feel instantly celebratory.
Do not forget the clock. Be sure to place a clock or two on the wall as a reminder of the countdown. You can also incorporate alarm clocks into your New Year’s centerpieces or tablescape. — decorilla.com
