The most magical holiday is approaching, from it we expect better changes and leaving troubles behind. It’s a rare house that isn’t decorated for this night; attention is paid to every surface, because as you celebrate the New Year, that’s what you’ll live with for the next 12 months.
A selection of the best ideas from designers will help you decorate your apartment in a classic or original style, the choice is yours.
What can be used to decorate a room for the New Year 2022
Holiday fairs start working a month before the holiday, but this does not mean that you need to immediately go there and buy the decor you like. Most decorations can be made yourself, and the items on New Year's shelves may provide an idea worth borrowing.
Of course, buying classic garlands, tinsel and toys is inevitable, but you can make original balls yourself from thread and glue. If there are children living in the house, this simplifies the process of preparing for the New Year: they will make most of the decorations for the Christmas tree and snowflakes for the windows themselves, you just need to teach them. Spending time together in the evenings will bring you closer and make your family more friendly.
Wreath of branches
You can use a store-bought wreath or cut some twigs while walking (they will need to be dried); Glue white artificial flowers to it with hot glue, preferably small ones, attach Christmas balls and a bow. What other crafts can be made from branches - see here.
Choosing a Christmas tree for the New Year's room
The main holiday attribute needs free space, and if there is none, you have to be content with small models on the dining table or shelves. A large beautiful tree in the room is wonderful, there is somewhere to put gifts for Santa Claus, and in itself it creates a festive mood.
But if space does not allow, but you want a forest beauty, then you should pay attention to wall and ceiling models. A Christmas tree that is mounted on a vertical surface looks no less elegant and much more impressive. You can create such a composition yourself, just prepare a base in the form of a board and fresh tree branches, which are glued with a PVC gun. You can decorate your work with traditional toys and garlands.
Ceiling trees can free up space in the room as much as possible. Trees fixed with the top down look very original.
You can also create a decoration without resorting to cutting down the beauty: make a ceiling composition from balls, cones, garlands and tinsel.
Decorative fireplace
It’s great when the apartment has a fireplace: it will become the second most important object after the Christmas tree and will make the room even more festive and cozy. It is not necessary to buy an electric fireplace; a high-quality imitation is enough to create a New Year’s atmosphere.
A false fireplace can be made from plasterboard; detailed instructions are here. This product is durable and will please its owners for many years.
For a budget option that will be used only on holidays, regular cardboard boxes will do.
You can use any available materials - plywood, wood and even polystyrene foam, as in the next photo.
Tip: candles or a garland with yellow or red lights can help imitate a fire burning in a fireplace. And you can decorate it with wreaths, tinsel, pine needles, and socks for gifts.
Decorating the windows in the room for the New Year 2022
Glued-on snowflakes, hung garlands and tinsel figures are often used as decoration. If you want something unusual, consider the option with appliqués. Drawing a design suitable for the holiday on white paper is not difficult, and children can cut it out. All elements are easily glued to glass using a soap solution.
Recently, LED curtains have been gaining popularity, which can shimmer in different colors and their combinations - this design will look organic next to a decorated Christmas tree.
Don't forget about the window sill either. You can create a composition from fir branches, balls, decorative candles and figurines with New Year's symbols.
You can make a “sweet window sill”, which will be decorated with a basket of traditional tangerines, sweets and chocolate, complemented by snowmen, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
How to decorate interior doors for the New Year 2022
If traditional Christmas wreaths, stockings and bells are no longer impressive, designers recommend using your imagination.
Create a Christmas tree on the surface of the interior door from tinsel, cut out a snowman from whatman paper and decorate it with real carrots, sweet cookie buttons and hang tangerines instead of traditional balls and stars - children will be delighted with such abundance.
Pleasant trifles
Sweets in a bowl
Take a glass with a thin stem. Run a slice of lemon along the edge and dip in sugar. Pour small candies into the glass and also insert a sweet caramel tube.
Penguins from a bottle
To create penguins, 2-liter Coca-Cola bottles are suitable. For 1 penguin you will need 2 bottles - cut off only the bottom of one, the other to the middle, and glue them together. You can apply paint and decorations to the resulting “body”.
Decorating the walls in the room for the New Year
If you don’t have free time to devote to the surface, you can limit yourself to drawing patterns from tinsel and garland, voluminous congratulatory inscriptions, which are sold in a wide variety.
But for creative individuals who want to create something unusual on the wall, creative designers can help with their ideas. Sort through family photos and use the best and most fun to put together a garland, which can be supplemented with children’s drawings for the New Year and crafts on the free shelves.
Instead of decoration, you can use a projection with changing scenes or decorate the wall with thematic images.
New Year's ceiling decoration in the room
You can use traditional rain, tinsel and toys, but everyone has long been tired of this, so we use a garland and a projector. Glowing lights in the form of icicles, snowflakes and stars can be complemented with a ceiling chandelier, and if it is made of crystal, the beautiful effect will be enhanced.
Projectors are now gaining popularity; without additional decoration they can create on the surface a starry sky, a Christmas tree or Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, so having such a device in the house means that you can create an unforgettable and beautiful holiday.
First step: selecting colors
According to the eastern calendar, the Year of the Ox comes every 12 years. But each time the holiday is decorated differently, because each bull has its own characteristics.
There are 5 varieties:
- Zemlyanoy;
- Fiery;
- Wood;
- Water;
- Metal.
The symbol of the coming 2022 will be the White Metal Bull, its element is the Earth.
To create a festive decoration in your home for the New Year 2021, you should use any tones and shades of the following colors:
- white;
- grey;
- brown;
- green;
- blue;
- "metallic".
Important! You should show respect to the patron of 2022 - the Ox, and not decorate the Christmas tree or the interior of the house with red elements. This color traditionally evokes only anger and desire in the bull to destroy everything in its path.
Popular New Year color combinations for 2022:
- silver and blue;
- white and gold;
- gold and blue.
Having decided on a color scheme, try to stick to it when selecting decorations: Christmas tree decorations, garlands, tinsel, ribbons and other New Year’s attributes.
Good news for those who want to be on trend: the colors that “like” the owner of the next year - the Ox - and correspond to the shades of earth, water and grass remain the same as last year, which means you can leave some of the decorations from last year holiday. Suitable:
- blue;
- blue;
- lilac;
- turquoise;

- coffee.
Decorating the room with New Year's compositions

At the same time, you don’t need to spend money on accessories, but make such a decoration from what you have in the house.

How to decorate a bedroom for New Year 2022
A relaxation room does not need an abundance of bright lights, flowers and varied decor; it is better to decorate it with Christmas tree greenery, and if it is natural, this will contribute to a good rest after the holiday.
For decoration, you can use wreaths on the walls and long compositions of rain and tinsel; an LED curtain will look great in the bedroom. If the room has a wardrobe with mirrored surfaces, you can decorate them with New Year-themed appliqués or designs, glue homemade snowflakes or hang Christmas socks for gifts.
Place a beautiful bedspread on the bed with images of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, snowmen, deer or a winter forest - this will remind you of the New Year for a long time, without tiring your eyes and nervous system with the abundance of bright details.
Decorating a children's room for the New Year 2022
A Christmas tree should be a mandatory holiday attribute in the room, and you need to make sure that it is safe and firmly fixed. For small children, you can consider a wall or ceiling option so that the child cannot reach the New Year's beauty and get hurt.
It is better to decorate a room together with children; for them it is an exciting activity that develops a sense of beauty and fine motor skills. And it doesn’t matter that the snowflakes will not match the size and ideal shape, the main thing is that they are made together with the parents.
You can decorate the wall with a safe garland on which to hang small surprise bags, then children can tear them off, receive a small gift and bring the New Year closer every day.
How to decorate your kitchen space for the New Year
Most of the preparations for the holiday take place in this room, so the working surfaces of the kitchen unit should not be occupied with the Christmas tree and decorations. You can limit yourself to a living dwarf plant, which are sold in flower shops - this will create the proper atmosphere and will not take up much space.
The main decor can be created on the window - this could be stocks of sweets and fruits in baskets decorated with fir branches. An applique on the glass in a New Year's theme, rain and tinsel hanging on the windowsill, as well as a glowing garland.
Don’t forget about the small details for the New Year’s table - a tablecloth and napkins, plates decorated with thematic designs, decorative vases made of multi-colored glass and beautiful candlesticks that will complement the holiday with live fire and warmth.
Even if there are no children in the house who sincerely rejoice at the coming of the New Year, create a holiday for yourself. By decorating your home you can lift your spirits and strengthen your belief in magic, and it will definitely happen if you wait for it.
