Decorating the house for the New Year: from doors to table through textiles
How to deck your house for 2018 New Year’s Eve: here are some ideas to inspire you
Is the dinner for 2018 New Year’s Eve being held at your house? Then you should begin thinking about how to welcome your guests with the proper atmosphere. Decorating your home for the New Year is quite an endeavor, but it can’t be helped if you want to give the festivity a touch of memorable uniqueness. Here are some ideas you can copy or reinterpret, chosen from among the trends for New Year’s Eve.
2018 New Year’s Eve: ’90s Pop
If this year your aim is to impress, the ’90s is the perfect theme for your New Year’s Eve decorations. Pastel colors, signs and balloons will be the real protagonists. Get a hold of large quantities of glitter to sparkle over the balloons or around bottles and decanters. Set the table with a white tablecloth, place-markers and multi-color napkins; and don’t be afraid to resort to large glasses and colored straws for the aperitif. Textiles will be in the bright colors of the ’90s and the walls will follow suit. Don’t worry, we aren’t suggesting you paint them: some removable stencils and hanging signs in bold writing will suffice. What should they say? How about: Happy New Year!
2018 New Year’s Eve: Super Chic Minimal
Does the idea of balloons make your nose wrinkle in disgust? Why not use your imagination. Imagine transparent balloons covered in black or grey tulle, sparingly distributed and combined with crystal and transparent, lacquered black and bright white. The table will be sophisticated and uncluttered. Overturned chalices containing a few silver balls will be decoration enough. A classy touch? Offering glasses with the brims decorated in silver food glitter. The walls should be bare, or decorated with small effective details. If in your minimal home you have flush-to-the-wall doors, play on subtle decorations and details that use the door-to-wall continuity. There are many types of removable stencils available on the market that would be perfect. Don’t exaggerate with colors: binary combinations or a total look with gold or silver details would be ideal.
New Year’s Eve 2018: A Sparkling Night
If for you New Year’s Eve means a sparkling atmosphere, don’t be afraid to express yourself. On this occasion, more than ever, shining is allowed and welcomed. But, as always, not all that glitters is gold; silver, white or metallic sheen could be the dominating color. It is important to choose and combine them with balance, including the drapes and tablecloth. Make way for glitter in the same color, again: sparingly. An original solution is to use a small amount of food glitter that you can put directly in the champagne for the toast. And don’t forget the lights: skillfully placed, they will make the table and the room sparkle.
