Fleece blanket

Nothing is cozier than a fleece blanket made from merino wool — I would place it on the bed or on the sofa in the living room.

Decorative pillows are perfect for a holiday atmosphere — especially if you lay golden garlands next to them.

Speaking of garlands, I can't imagine New Year without them. Not only on the Christmas tree: I would hang a glowing garland on the curtains or on the headboard of the bed — and fairy-tale mood is guaranteed.

I love the classic combination of green, red and white in New Year's table setting. These plates with images of reindeer, Santa’s helpers, fit perfectly into the atmosphere.

I will complement the table setting with ruby-toned glasses — one of the main colors of this season.

An interesting dish with a heraldic pattern — I will put it on the table together with the glasses.

A muted green tone will blend well with the main decoration in the house — the Christmas tree.

Festive table setting is not only beautiful dishes. I decorate the table with transparent glass vases: I put winter bouquets made of fir branches and cotton or decorate them with Christmas ornaments and pinecones.

Jar with a porcelain lid

Beautiful candles and garlands look great in glass jars. After the holidays, the jar will surely come in handy in the kitchen.

Symbol of the year 2019

And, of course, a symbol of the upcoming year should be on the New Year’s table. For example, a cute figurine with golden wings.
