Decorating a room for the New Year is the most enjoyable task on the eve of the holiday. You can create a whole separate world with an individual style and color scheme that will match or, conversely, differ from the decorations of the entire house.
What we will decorate:
Windows and window sill - magic on glass
Various designs on window glass are a simple and effective way to create a festive atmosphere on the eve of the New Year. You can make decorations with your own hands by cutting them out of paper (here you can). Or buy ready-made decorative stickers!
Houses, Christmas trees, Santa Claus on a sleigh drawn by reindeer, toys, snowmen - the range of stencils is gorgeous, the choice depends on the flight of imagination and the ability to create an overall picture.
Not only stickers: New Year's wreaths from different materials, small Christmas trees, birds and garlands.. All this will create a magical atmosphere of a winter holiday and will delight not only you, but also random passers-by who look at your window.

Walls, chandelier, ceiling - a New Year's corner!
Want to create a cute Christmas look without using up space? Decorate the room's walls, ceiling and chandelier. These could be snowflakes or hand-made stars. Amazing paper garlands or whatever your imagination allows!
The chandelier can be decorated with Christmas balls and rain, decorated with fir branches and snowflakes strung on a thread. It's nice to open your eyes and watch your personal snowfall from the middle of the room.
Your room will look fabulous if you stick phosphor stars on the ceiling, of which there are a lot on sale. An excellent option would be star-shaped lamps or spotlights that emit many colorful lights.
Table and chairs
The table will become surprisingly festive if you decorate it:

Chairs can be decorated with covers in the shape of a Santa hat, decorated with garlands or tinsel.
Fabulous cozy fireplace
The dream of all children and adults is to spend the New Year and Christmas holidays in front of a cozy, beautifully decorated fireplace. If you are lucky enough to have such a miracle at home, then there are many options for how to decorate it:
- A garland of artificial Christmas tree branches - in addition to traditional toys, tinsel, pine cones and snowflakes, a composition sprinkled with artificial snow will look very beautiful.
- handmade: flags, bows, New Year or Christmas inscriptions, snowflakes, gifts.
- Spruce compositions - bouquets, wreaths, topiary.
- Purchased toys - soft or plastic - trains, sleighs, gifts.
- Handmade candlesticks made of paper, glass jars, glasses.

If there is no fireplace, it doesn’t matter, you can do it according to our instructions. All you need is cardboard boxes.
Decorative pillows - New Year details
You can quickly decorate your room for the New Year by placing cozy winter pillows around it. Just a few pillows with a New Year's print will create a festive atmosphere, even if there is no other decor in the room.
We offer several ideas on how to make them yourself:
- Give new life old sweaters or shirts;
- Sew from felt or any soft fabrics;
- or ironing pillowcases, which are then removed and wait for the next one to arrive New Year.
If time is short, you can simply buy pillowcases with themed prints.
New Year's garlands
New Year's garlands are probably the most beautiful decoration. After all, they are the ones who create the atmosphere of miracle and magic in the air! When decorating a room, don’t forget a few simple rules:
- There shouldn't be too much light. Select one area where one or more garlands will be located. This zone will be a kind of bright corner, beckoning you in the darkness. If you hang garlands throughout the room, it will be illuminated evenly and there will be no cozy corner.
- Consider the location of outlets in the room so as not to pull the cord around the entire perimeter.
- The most soothing and least harmful to the eyes are garlands with constant, monochromatic light.
And garlands that don’t glow can be made from anything:
- From paper in the form of rings, snowflakes, snowmen holding hands, gifts, Christmas trees, lanterns, circles, stars, angels.
- From felt, using the same figures as in the paper version;
- From cotton wool - form small lumps and string them on a thread;
- From cones, stringing them on a thick thread or fishing line;
- From threads - from soft fluffy pompoms on the wall, Christmas tree or under the ceiling in any room it will become very cozy;
- Their natural or artificial Christmas tree branches.
How to decorate a small room?
You can decorate a room fabulously for the New Year, regardless of its size. Small compositions and small Christmas trees will easily fit on coffee table or shelf.
If it is not possible to place a full-sized Christmas tree on the floor, it can be hung from the ceiling, a chandelier, or placed on the wall. Here are some options
New Year is the most mysterious and mysterious holiday. It is celebrated en masse in our country. Each family begins preparing for the New Year celebration from the end of November and the first days of December. Everyone is thinking about gifts for loved ones and creating a holiday menu. The sale of green beauties begins, because without this symbol it is difficult to imagine a holiday. Also, pre-holiday preparations extend to housing: they decorate, and then a truly festive atmosphere reigns in every home!
Home decoration ideas
We suggest considering several different options for decorating rooms to give your home a fabulous atmosphere.
Decorating a room in a rustic style
If you have one in your home, you can easily transform it. For this you will need a bright ribbon blue color which can be decorated stair railings and crossbars, and at the intersections attach candlesticks and Christmas decorations. A dull everyday staircase will turn into a festive fabulous one!
Advice! It's not necessary to chop living tree. Having shown a little imagination and taking pity on the beautiful spruce, you decorate your home with an original Christmas tree made of garlands or ordinary wooden boards.
Use of natural elements and materials
If you are planning a romantic New Year celebration, then you can easily create festive composition for table decoration using natural natural materials and candles.
- Collect all the candles in the house, and if they are different in size and diameter, this will not spoil the decor at all, rather, on the contrary.
- Place the candles on a metal tray; the flames will shimmer in its reflection.
- Place nuts in the spaces between the candles, alternating them with small Christmas tree decorations.
- If the color scheme is chosen harmoniously, the decoration will leave an unforgettable impression.
Advice! Also use edible decor, for example, instead of a Christmas tree decoration, especially if it matches the materials and theme used. It could be a tangerine, which is probably in every home on New Year's Eve.
New Year's days are filled pleasant chores, you need to buy groceries, choose a lot of gifts, take care of your outfit. But don’t forget about the decor of the premises. How are you planning to decorate your room for the New Year? Most of us don't think much about this question. As a rule, we take out toys, tinsel and garlands and quickly hang them up, without even noticing that the decor of the room does not change from year to year.
And if you approach the matter creatively and involve other family members in it, then another very pleasant and interesting New Year’s tradition may appear in the house. You need to think in advance about the style of the future decor, purchase or make new decoration parts yourself.
Various ideas for decorating a room for the New Year can be found in magazines that cover interior design issues. The photos presented there fascinate with their incredible beauty. One problem is that magazines, as a rule, present options for decorating spacious rooms of private cottages with fireplaces and bay windows. But what if you live in ordinary apartment small area?
No need to worry! It is quite possible to beautifully decorate a room with your own hands, even if its area is not striking in its size.
Christmas tree
Of course, the main element of New Year's decor is the Christmas tree. This can be a living tree that reaches the ceiling or a small artificial Christmas tree. The choice is determined by the size of the room. If the room is a bit cramped, you can do without a Christmas tree entirely by purchasing several spruce branches, from which you can easily make a beautiful New Year’s bouquet.
To do this, you need to place the branches in any suitable vase and decorate them with balls and rain. You can also wrap the vase itself with tinsel and decorate our composition.
It’s easy to make a beautiful wreath from spruce branches, which is usually hung on front door. Making this decorative item is not difficult at all. This will require wire. You need to roll a ring out of a fairly thick wire - this will be the base of the wreath. Then, using flexible thin wire, you need to begin attaching spruce branches to the base. To decorate the wreath, we take Christmas tree decorations, pine cones, ribbons and bows.
You can make a wreath for a door or window from pine cones. To do this, you will first need to cut out the base in the shape of a foam ring. Then you need to wrap the stems of the cones with wire and stick this wire into the foam base so that it goes right through. WITH reverse side The “tail” of the wire must be bent so that the pine cone holds tighter. To make a wreath you will need quite a lot of cones; you need to make sure that the base is not visible. You can use red or gold ribbons to decorate the wreath.
You can also make small decorative “Christmas trees” from cones. A simple version of this decorative craft:
- take a big bump, paint it in green color. You can use silver or gold instead of green paint;
- place the pine cone with the stem down on a stand or in a small flower pot;
- To decorate our impromptu Christmas tree, we use colored beads.
To make a large Christmas tree from pine cones, you will first need to roll a cone out of thick cardboard. The size of our craft will depend on the size of this cone. Then you need to file down the back of the pine cones, giving them a flat shape. We glue our cones using a hot glue gun onto the base.
The cones need to be placed tightly; we glue the largest ones at the bottom, on the wide part of the cone. You can decorate a Christmas tree with pine cones in different ways. Beads and bows from satin ribbons, rain or tinsel. Or you can do it differently: even before assembling the tree, paint the cones and sprinkle them with sparkles, then our product will sparkle and shimmer without decorations. With the help of such an improvised Christmas tree, you can decorate a small room for the New Year.
Fairy lights
A mandatory attribute of the New Year is a variety of garlands - electric and homemade. You can decorate a Christmas tree with a garland or hang it on the walls. Electric garlands must be purchased ready-made; they are presented in a wide range and have very affordable prices.
But homemade garlands today are rarely used to decorate rooms. Meanwhile, they look quite impressive. For example, you can very easily make cute garlands from corrugated paper. Necessary:
- cut from corrugated paper different colors long strips of the same width (we choose the sizes arbitrarily, depending on the desired result);
- Frequent cuts should be made along the edge of each strip to create a fringe. Make sure that the cuts end at least 2 cm before the edge of the strip;
- now you need to take two strips of a contrasting color and twist them together into a flagellum;
- We have a fluffy garland that can be hung above a window or door, or can be hung under the ceiling.
Garlands of lanterns look nice, they must first be cut out of colored paper and strung on a strong thread.
Window
You can beautifully decorate a room without a Christmas tree, but New Year's decor Without decorations the window will be incomplete. There are many options for window decoration:
- various garlands;
- paper figures;
- decorative “curtains”, etc.
The most common option is to decorate the window with snowflakes. You can buy them ready-made, but it’s much more interesting to cut them out of paper yourself. You can even arrange a competition between family members whose snowflake will turn out to be the most beautiful and delicate.
Glue snowflakes onto glass by simply wetting the paper a small amount water. For greater effect, you can spray “artificial snow” from a spray can on top.
To decorate windows, you can use other images; cut them out not only from white, but also from colored paper. You can copy the images from children's books or draw them yourself. These could be Christmas bells, silhouettes of snowmen, or entire New Year's scenes. Everything will depend on your artistic abilities and patience.
Another option for window decoration is New Year’s “curtains”. Rain, fixed to the cornice instead of tulle, can beautifully decorate the window. Instead of rain, you can hang thin satin ribbons of different lengths on the cornice. Christmas tree balls, gilded cones, and dried orange slices are attached to the free ends of the ribbons.
An interesting version of the New Year's curtain will be created if you make a lot of small pompoms from multi-colored threads in advance (you can take yarn with the addition of lurex so that the pompoms shimmer in the light). Then the pompoms are attached in a chaotic manner to pieces of fishing line, which are fixed to the cornice. In order for the pieces of fishing line to hang evenly, some kind of “weighting agent”, for example, a metal bell, must be attached to the lower end of each of them. Such a cute curtain can also be hung in a doorway.
Candles
Candles are often used in New Year's decor. Today you can buy a variety of candles, but to decorate a room in an original way, you should make your own candlesticks.
It's very easy to make a beautiful candlestick from a glass. You can often find one or two glasses around the house that were left over from the set. They can be used to make a beautiful candle holder. The stem and edge of the glass can be decorated with braid, rhinestones, beads, and a flat tablet candle can be placed inside. For New Year's holidays You should choose scented candles with the scent of citrus, cinnamon, vanilla and, of course, pine. These smells are associated with home comfort and the New Year.
Original “lanterns” can be made from ordinary glass jars. Small jars (200 grams) are especially suitable for these purposes. original form. You can wrap the outside of the jar with lace braid and place a candle inside. If you don't have lace, you can use foil or paper to cut out beautiful silhouettes. Lit by a candle placed inside the jar, these silhouettes will cast whimsical shadows.
To decorate the table, you should choose floating candles. You need to take a small crystal vase, pour some water into it and place several flat candles. You can sprinkle some glitter on top to make our composition look even more festive.
Features of children's decoration
When planning to decorate a children's room for the New Year, you need to think not only about beauty, but also about safety. However, we must not forget about safety when decorating other rooms, since children are unlikely to sit in their room all the time.
Here are the basic rules:
- if your baby is under five years old, then try to place the decorations at such a height that the child cannot reach them from the floor;
- It is better not to use small toys that a child may accidentally swallow or put in his nose to decorate rooms where children visit;
- you should not use glass Christmas tree decorations; now you can find beautiful and safety balls from polymer materials, they will not break, even if they fall to the floor from a height;
- if there are children in the house, it is better to do without using New Year's compositions with burning candles;
- The tree must be secured very carefully so that it does not tip over from an accidental touch.
So, decorating rooms for the New Year is a very exciting creative process. Think about the decor in advance so that you have time to make various elements. After all, it is handmade decorations that make the decor interesting and unique.
- Winter window. If you have several in your pantry wooden slats– make a stylization out of them window frame. Apply white acrylic paint on it in places, imitating snow, hang several snowflakes in the opening, and decorate with short curtains. Hang the imitation on a free wall.
- Tangerine holiday. The color of these citrus fruits perfectly matches the New Year 2018. Decorate the Christmas tree with tangerines instead of balls - it will be absolutely bright and fragrant. In addition, place fruits everywhere in vases and use them in the decoration of wreaths. Another option is to build a mini Christmas tree out of tangerines, use toothpicks and a conical cardboard base to secure it.
How and with what to decorate a children's room - we embody bold ideas
In this room you can give free rein to your imagination, and not necessarily your own. Allow children to actively participate in decorating their own space, leaving yourself the role of coordinator of their activities. Offer your “descendants” several ideas to choose from:
- Painting on window glass. There are several ways to create “stained glass” - their choice depends on the drawing abilities of home artists. You can arm yourself with gouache and copy the image you like onto glass. Another option is to apply toothpaste to the surface of the window with a foam sponge, let it dry and scratch the design with a sharp wooden object, like a brush on a canvas. The third method is the simplest - make a snowflake stencil and use a sponge and the same toothpaste (or white gouache) to apply the design on the glass.
- Balloons. To bring them as close as possible to the theme, you need to put candy inside each one. Agree, an original alternative to the annual bag of sweets.
- Luminescent stickers. Here's another idea on how to creatively decorate a children's room for the New Year 2018 exclusively with your own hands. Stickers in the form of stars and smiley faces are attached to the ceiling, windows and furniture and, with their dim light, create a magical atmosphere of a holiday and an approaching miracle.
On New Year's Day, children expect magic, fun and the fulfillment of their cherished desires. And who else but parents can turn all these childhood dreams into reality?
It is not only possible, but also necessary for the whole family to decorate it, and the role of the main decorator should be given to the child. But since this process must take place under the strict guidance of adults, it is we who will provide useful recommendations for decorating a nursery.
What should you consider first?
When decorating a child’s room, you need to take into account many nuances, but first of all, you should ensure the safety of the decorative elements for the baby:
- If your child is under 3 years old, it is better to hang all decorations high in such a way that he cannot reach them, but It’s better not to use small toys at all.
- Garlands must be chosen carefully: they must have high-quality connections and electrical cords so that the likelihood of a short circuit is minimal.
- Do not use fragile glass toys.
- There is clearly no place for burning candles in the decorations of a baby’s room.
And of course, if you decide to put a separate Christmas tree in the nursery, then make sure that it is firmly fixed. Although, again, for young children it is better to postpone this pleasure, replacing the Christmas tree with other decorations (for example, small homemade Christmas trees made of paper).
And it is better to decorate the Christmas tree in the nursery with soft fabric, wool or paper balls, and choose large toys.
It is better to decorate the Christmas tree in the children's room with large toys, stars and soft balls.
What style should you use to decorate the nursery?
Stylistic and color scheme Holiday decorations for boys' and girls' rooms are different. I offer ideas New Year's decoration nursery for both, as well as for the little ones.
For boys
As you know, the interior of a boy’s room should be designed in calm, if not strict, colors. They also have a certain harmonious brevity. You can choose, for example, the following design options:
Winter blue. For boys, it is customary to choose blue colors. Paying tribute to this tradition, you can decorate a room in this color scheme. In addition, it will allow you to create a truly winter mood.
Bedding, rugs, decorations and even the tree itself can be chosen in various shades of blue (blue, cobalt, sea, violet, cornflower blue, ultramarine, etc.) and white.
To highlight and enrich the color scheme, you need to add contrasting green or red.
New Year's classics. The style is perfect would be better suited just for a boy's room. Three primary colors will look “winning”: brown, green and red. Basically, if the nursery has wooden furniture, then the question with brown will decide on its own.
The Christmas tree and various New Year's compositions will go well with bright red and white decorations made of fabric, plastic or paper.
You can always complement such decoration various elements to your taste and according to the child’s preferences.
- For example, if your child is interested in pirates or sea adventures, you can add a piece of the avant-garde to the decor: give the room the spirit of a pirate New Year, decorate the Christmas tree with steering wheels and boats, and hang blue and white flags on the walls.
- If your boy likes space travel, invite him to decorate the nursery like a compartment on an intergalactic ship. And do it according to the traditions of earthlings - with a Christmas tree, toys and gifts.
For girls
Since girls love to feel like little princesses, the atmosphere of their nursery on New Year's Eve should be transformed accordingly and resemble a celebration in an elegant hall of a royal castle. Everything about it should be charming and attract attention.
For the New Year, you can choose a pink or purple Christmas tree for a girl’s room.
or lilac color.
You can buy (or make your own) a Christmas tree in unusual colors, such as white, pink or purple, and decorate it with shiny toys, tinsel or silk ribbons.
The walls and windows in a girl’s nursery can be decorated not only with the usual pictures of Santa Claus, but also with original ikebanas, garlands and compositions made of colored feathers.
For babies
This is where there is a place for imagination to run wild, it is in the nursery for the youngest members of the family.
Children under three years old love rich colors, so you can create a truly fabulous New Year's decor.
You can choose any theme: you can stylize the interior as a fairy-tale New Year's meadow, dress up the characters of the cartoon "Smeshariki" so beloved by children in New Year's costumes, or decorate the room in the style of your child's favorite fairy tale.
By the way, you should not use a huge number of fluorescent lamps to decorate such a room. But small garlands will come in handy.
The room recently born baby You can also decorate with a garland and small compositions of fir branches.
If you decide to install it in a children's Christmas tree, it is better to ensure that it is firmly fixed and, if possible, fenced. To do this, you can use not only special wooden partitions, but also make cardboard screens yourself, depicting a fabulous New Year’s forest or your child’s favorite characters on them.
Creating a magical atmosphere for the New Year
If in the hallway, living room or bedroom for adults you can make an ordinary New Year's decor, then in the children's room you need to work on creating a whole fairy world, which should be completely immersed in the atmosphere of New Year's fun and celebration.
Choosing decorative accessories
There are many wall stickers available in the market with fairy tale motifs and cartoon characters. It will be easy for you to choose the right one.
In addition to the usual branded stickers and pictures, which can be bought in many stores on the eve of the New Year, you can decorate the room with a variety of decorative elements:
Stained glass paint kits include paints, ready-made stencil designs and special film. The drawing is created like this:
- first, the finished drawing template must be covered with film from the kit and outlined with paint;
- Do not touch the finished contour for a couple of hours until it dries. You can make several outline drawings at once;
- then each section of the drawing, limited by the contour, is painted over with a separate color. Apply the paint thicker so that the finished design does not tear when transferred to the window;
- the drawings dry for a day, and the next day they can be removed from the film and transferred to any flat surface (glass, mirror);
- There is no need for glue, the finished pictures stick on their own, you just need to press them against the glass.
- Snowflakes. Children simply love making paper snowflakes. You can decorate not only walls with them, but also windows. You can also make an imitation of snowfall by hanging a lot of snowflakes on a thin fishing line in the form of a screen.
- Stars and hearts. These figures can either be bought in a store, or made from felt or paper, painted with gouache or bright acrylic paints. Another option: include them in original New Year's compositions. You can hang them on a beautiful colored thread or fishing line, on a Christmas tree branch, or attach them to shelves.
- Checkboxes. They can be glued to a string or fishing line, attaching its ends to the opposite walls of the room in the form of garlands. In this case, you can use both universal colored flags that you hang for the holidays, and make a New Year’s version of them with thematic drawings, inscriptions or numbers.
- Christmas trees. A Christmas tree will look great on a nursery wall or door. By the way, if you decide not to install a Christmas tree in the room, a wall image or a homemade composition will be a worthy alternative.
It can be made from paper, garlands or New Year's glass (plastic) Christmas tree balls. Crafts and compositions (possibly topiary) in the form of Christmas trees are suitable for the windowsill. - Fabric figures. A great option is to make animal figurines, fairy tale characters or felt plants. This material is easy to cut and sew, and also has a very bright color, so it will serve as an excellent decoration for a nursery.
- New Year's wreaths. They can decorate not only the door, but also the wall. If you are decorating a room in a classic New Year's style, then traditional green wreaths made of tinsel, spruce or pine branches will suit you.
You can also surprise your child with an unusual wreath, for example, made from dried orange slices, colored threads, ribbons, Christmas balls, paper, pine cones or candies (they will literally love the last option). 
Socks for gifts. Be sure to hang such a sock on the wall, Christmas tree, door or child’s bed. You can sew it yourself or buy it ready-made. Believe me, children will not only appreciate appearance such a craft, but they will also look forward to the appearance of gifts in it.
If you make such a sock yourself, you can embroider the child’s name on it (as they say: “It’s a small thing, but nice.”)- Snowmen. Snowman figurines can be small, made of paper, white socks, thread, plastic and tin lids (as shown in the photo) or fabric. They can decorate walls or windows. You can also work hard and make a large Snowman, approximately the size of a child.
This can be done by sewing a huge soft toy, build a Snowman from balloons ( this option, of course, cannot be considered durable and would be more suitable as a surprise gift) or from plastic cups.
“From plastic cups?” - you will be surprised. Yes! Moreover, creating this masterpiece of creativity is quite simple - how? watch the video below. - Artificial snow. It can be made from ordinary cotton wool, forming small lumps and lightly dipping them in PVA glue so that they keep their shape. Without waiting for them to dry, they need to be put on a fishing line or white thread using a needle. If you have foam balls at home, they can replace cotton wool. Several dozen of these homemade garlands will allow you to create a semblance of real snowfall in the room.
- Boxes or bags for gifts. They can be placed either near the Christmas tree or near the child’s bed. The boxes should be beautifully and neatly wrapped in gift paper and bows should be made, and the bags should be sewn from red, green or blue fabric, decorated with inscriptions, New Year's paraphernalia or fur.
- Flashlights. They can be made from colored paper or plastic. They are usually hung in the form of garlands on walls, windows or furniture. But you can place them separately. You can decorate them with drawings, stickers or tinsel.
From felt you can make both beautiful figures of the symbol of the year and garlands of colored circles.
These are just some of the options for decorating a nursery's interior. They are perfect for decorating walls, ceilings, doors and furniture, conveying all the magic of the solemn and fabulous atmosphere of the New Year.
Always in fashion: New Year's compositions made by children's hands
I would like to pay special attention to several options for New Year’s compositions that can be used to decorate windows and furniture in a children’s room:
- Children's crafts. Let your child create a little DIY New Year's themed display. You can place crafts on shelves, tables or windows. Your child will be pleased to have a mini-museum of his own works.
- Compositions of fir branches and cones. They can be used to decorate a window sill, the entire window around the perimeter, or make a small composition for a table or shelf. Usually small ones are attached to the needles New Year's toys, balls, tinsel, cones, garlands or homemade figurines of fairy-tale characters.
Cones, this “gift of the forest”, are an indispensable material for creativity. From pine cones you can make figures of animals, fairy-tale characters, Christmas trees, wreaths and a lot of other interesting compositions.
These are just some of the compositions that are considered popular options for decorating a nursery. Combining various materials, techniques, as well as giving free rein to your imagination, you and your child will be able to create your own original compositions that will become worthy decoration children's room
Give New Year's spirit not only to yourself, but also to your child. Let your baby’s nursery be unparalleled this year, and let his happiness have no limits.
