7 Ideas for New Year Decoration for Your Home

Christmas tree sticker, handmade garland from fir branches, and a home photo zone — with the help of Leroy Merlin experts, we show how to decorate your apartment by December 31st and create the atmosphere of a real holiday.

1. Place gifts under the Christmas tree

It's not necessary to have real presents! You can be clever and wrap ordinary shoe boxes in beautiful paper with New Year prints. Seems like a small thing, but it guarantees great mood and anticipation of the holiday night.

2. Catch the light in a bottle

From an ordinary transparent bottle, jar, and garland you can make a trendy decor element. To avoid being tied to an outlet, choose battery-powered garlands — they are convenient.

3. Set up a relaxation area near the fireplace

If you have a decorative or electric fireplace at home, consider yourself lucky. The area around it can be turned into a spot for friendly gatherings and home photo sessions. A fur rug, a couple of colorful cushions, and decorative candles — all you need.

4. Create a fir composition

A live or artificial Christmas tree: if it's about decor for a console table or dresser, there is no real difference. Twist the branches together, decorate them with cones and garlands, add artificial snow — voilà, it's ready.

5. Throw a blanket on the chair

A chair with flowers doesn't fit into the New Year interior? No problem: cover it with a light monochrome blanket and it instantly transforms. The finishing touch — a couple of cushions with New Year patterns.

6. Put up beautiful candleholders

The closer the holiday, the less often you want to light bright general lighting. Instead, candles in decorative New Year candleholders come into play: they create a romantic atmosphere and relax after a long workday.

7. Decorate the walls with stickers

Wall stickers are a great option if you've decided to decorate your apartment at the last minute. They easily replace a real Christmas tree and toys: the key is to keep it all in moderation.
