Quantity possible options the decor is countless, but the most important thing in the pre-New Year's bustle is not to overdo it, otherwise numerous details and multi-colored elements will look simply tasteless. To do this, designers advise not to create a "rainbow of colors", but to focus on 1-2 basic shades and 2-3 additional ones, or choose the main idea or style.

Homemade Christmas decorations for windows and walls

First of all, it is customary to focus on oriental calendar, according to which 2019 is the year of the Yellow Earth Dog. This animal, unlike the 2 preceding signs, is characterized by calmness and measuredness, therefore preparation for the holiday should be carried out without haste. You should not start drastic changes, you just need to refresh and decorate the "hearth" a little.

Given the calm nature of the Dog, it is not surprising that the primary colors should be sober and discreet. That is why the preference for general view the interior should be given a balanced beige, coffee or brown.

And yet, you can't do without bright New Year's colors - red and green, because this animal knows how to have fun. Since the year is Yellow, it can also be used in jewelry. Fans of "brighter" are invited to replace yellow with a more New Year's - gold.

Festive interior style

It is becoming more and more popular not only to create the interior of a house in a certain style, to which the entire organization of space and objects is subordinated, but also to decorate the holiday. There are many of them, but two main, one might say, radically different options can be distinguished.

Rustic

It features a large number of details, in which brown, red, green and gold tones prevail, that is, everything that we are all used to. Mandatory elements are balls, cones that can be colored with gold, elegant tree and a large number of multi-colored lights. The presence of a fireplace and tangerines is encouraged. All this creates an incredible fabulous and cozy environment.

Modern

If the interior of the apartment matches modern trends, then you should not deviate far from the chosen style. For decoration, monochromatic garlands are often used, which are hung behind a thin tulle curtain. This way they won't be too intrusive. For a while winter holidays, you can change the usual pillows for others, decorated with New Year's motives.

Modern New Year's decor of the apartment

It is not necessary to use red or green color... You can stop at any pleasant shade. For example, nowadays they often use minimalism in the form of white and black, respectively, decorative elements can be performed in them. Still popular are: turquoise and gold, white and red.

Possible New Year's decor of the apartment

Among the elements for decoration there are both familiar attributes and modern innovations. Preferred in this new year's eve there will be decorations made from natural materials, or similar to them in color: cones, branches, spruce, wood, etc.

New year wreath

Classic decoration, most often for front door, can be made in any color and from almost any material. Most often these are: fir branches, cones, beads, multi-colored balls. Now this attribute of the New Year is experiencing a rebirth, and it is made from everything imagination is enough for: paper, tree branches, yarn and fabric, and even living wreaths from the "stone rose" plant. In addition, in order to do it, you can involve all family members, without exception. This will only add to the mood of the upcoming holiday.

Christmas tree

Like all other New Year's attributes, the tree is undergoing some changes. Of course, classic version remains live spruce- which is especially to the liking of the Dog. Artificial wood also remains popular. But design as an art does not stand still, and quite often such an interior item is replaced with interesting designs. For example, instead of a tree, you can create an "image" of a Christmas tree on the wall.

Flat tree on a white wall

To do this, use christmas balls, natural boards, garlands and lights, paper and other improvised means. It looks very stylish, discreet and sophisticated.

We decorate windows

They have been decorated for a long time, and for this there are a lot of stickers and all kinds of snowflakes. But you can go further and decorate them in a very interesting way. For this, you can use whole fairy tales or winter landscapes. You just need to cut the drawing you like from white sheet and stick on the window. Another option would be to cut out the stencil and apply the pattern to the window using toothpaste. The advantages of this method: it will not come off, and it is very easy to wash it off the window, unlike tape or glue.

Walls

The walls are decorated with everything that is possible: snowflakes, balls, wreaths, flags and lights. The only thing that can limit this is fantasy. Again, this largely depends on the overall interior of the house. In a house where there are children, they often resort to brighter and more diverse decorations. It will be very interesting to create flags and snowflakes yourself.

Garlands and pendants for decorating walls and windows for the New Year

If the walls in the room are light, then the same light decor will get lost a little. If you do not want to add bright spots, it will be enough to hang monophonic lights behind a thin tulle on the walls or behind curtains.

Cushions

An excellent interior item that can change a room beyond recognition in an instant are regular pillows... They can be used even by those who do not like many small things hung around the house. And also for fans of modern minimalism. There are a huge variety of pillows with almost any print: red, green, multi-colored, in the shape of a snowman or a tree, etc. You can choose for every taste and color. There are also monochrome minimalist options, which nevertheless convey the atmosphere of the holiday with their pattern or shape.

Table decoration

Since the year of the Yellow Dog is expected, it is advisable to use this color in the design of not only the room, but also the table.

The main item is the tablecloth. If desired, yellow can be replaced with green, gold or orange. If the general mood of the house does not allow this, you can use one trick: cover the table with two layers of tablecloth so that the lower layer slightly peeks out from under the upper one. You can decorate the table generously: candles, bows on cutlery, beautiful napkins etc. Self-embroidered napkins or towels will fit perfectly, since the symbol of the year favors needlewomen.

Symbol of the year: yellow dog

A desirable element of New Year's decoration is the symbol of the year itself - the Dog. It can be placed in any suitable place: it can be a figurine on a dresser, a toy under a tree, or a gingerbread in the form of a dog on the table. By the way, you can bake such cookies yourself.

How to properly decorate a house for the New 2018

After decorating the tree, the question arises of how to properly decorate the house in order to please the new patroness. In fact, this is not difficult to do, it is important to take into account the preferences of the new mistress and avoid things that she does not like.
Any pet should have its own place in the house, where he can just sleep or be alone. To make the new patroness feel that she is a welcome guest in your home, make a small house out of cardboard or buy a dog bed in the store. On New Year's Eve, next to such a decoration, you must put a plate with meat treats. After the New Year, it can be removed, but the house must be left so that the hostess will always help you and provide support throughout the year.

Avoid the cat theme and in no case use toys in the form of cats as decorations, otherwise their hostile relationship with the new owner will affect your well-being.
DIY jewelry will never go out of style. Therefore, you can cut out snowflakes and decorate walls or windows with them. Don't forget about traditional new year characters... Figures of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snowman or deer will also create a cozy atmosphere in your home.

Do not forget to transform the table at which all your loved ones will gather on New Year's Eve, and first of all, get a new tablecloth. It should not be conspicuous and attract attention, so choose lighter ones, preferably pastel shades... Don't forget to place a large plate of tangerines in the middle of the table.

In the winter frosty days we can often see patterns on our windows. You can do exactly the same in your home. To do this, you only need a blue or White paint and brushes. Your children may like this activity, because, perhaps, it will be the beginning of their creative success.
Doors are decorated much less often than windows or walls. You can use rain as their decoration, or hang a Christmas wreath from spruce branches which can be decorated with bows or small Christmas balls.

We asked too much difficult task you say? But there are so many shades of yellow and green that it will be enough for decorating a room for receiving guests, and for a costume in which you will look stunning.

Let all representatives of the cat family be with you in a year, but for now, preferences are only for Dogs and their habits.

We do not forget about what in any case - we will try to refuse corsets, trains and all kinds of frills. The dress should be well thought out, simple enough, and yet very stylish. A dog is an earthly and open creature, so you shouldn't hide in brocade and lurex. Stop your choice on modern environmentally friendly fabrics and the symbol of the year will welcome you with open arms.

And it will be easy and pleasant for you to move in a noisy crowd of guests if the suit is comfortable and does not interfere with games and entertainment. Here are the fabrics you can use this year

silk,
satin stretch,

Swamp - gray-green and brown tones
Our sky is blue, and against its background there are wonderful herbs
Summer meadow is generally a play of colors in a huge amount
Well, against the backdrop of all this splendor - your unique image

This topic has been discussed and everything is clear that we will not use the "true enemies" of the Dogs in any form - neither in jewelry, nor in designs on clothes. Save your wonderful clothes of the feline year, and now we use the services and influence on your spirit of the Dog's aura.

By waking up your inexhaustible imagination and showing creativity, you, for sure, can create unique decorations for the interior.

In order for the Yellow Earth Dog to be supportive of you and help you in everything, follow some recommendations in the process of decorating your home for the New Year.
1. Make a small booth from cardboard or plasticine - a house for the hostess of the year. In other words, make her an impromptu place to sleep. Completely copy a real dog shelter. Inside the booth, you can lay a soft mattress, put a plate with treats for the dog next to it. As a rule, it is a fragrant bone with pieces of meat.
2. Since the Dog is the defender of its territory, decorative (or real barn) locks can be hung on the doors (entrance and interior). Thus, you will show the Dog that all the doors are locked and ill-wishers will not be able to get into the house.
3. Decorate the windows with drawings of dogs. Images can be drawn directly on glass using gouache or on a sheet of paper watercolors and attach to the window.
4. In 2018, do not use figurines of cats as decorations. Dogs, as you know, are not friends with these representatives of the fauna. The patroness of the year can take great offense at you and will not protect you from failure.
5. Do not forget that in 2018 it will be the Yellow Earth Dog that will rule. The element of the earth in New Year's decorations for the interior can be displayed in the use of a kind of stand, with which it is supposed to fix a natural spruce. Use not the usual "sacrum" stand, but a container (bucket, basin) filled with earth and sand.

6. Pull the ropes around the perimeter of the ceilings, on which you fasten decorations in the form of fir branches with cones. To add creativity and make these decorations the most suitable for celebrating the Year of the Dog, paint some of the branches golden and / or yellow colors... This can be done using regular paint or special graffiti sprays.
7. You can also please the patroness of the year in a radical way. If you are sure that one of your family members has long dreamed of a four-legged friend, give him a puppy. For this, of course, you need to know what breed and color the pet should be. Provided that you know all the specified parameters, feel free to give a live puppy. The Dog will definitely note such self-respect and will become the real guardian of your home.
