10 cool ideas on how to decorate your apartment for the New Year
New Year's table in different styles
If you prefer asceticism, gloss, originality - go for it. You shouldn’t break yourself to please any stereotypes. And there are none at all - the Tiger will be happy with any treat. Therefore, you can choose any option for serving the New Year’s table, be it an intricate rustic one or a modest Japanese one. Several diverse examples will help you find the right direction.
Country
Bright and positive, its decoration repeats the favorite colors of Christmas - white, red, green. The red and white color scheme dominates – tablecloth and napkins, patterns on cutlery, packaging of small surprises or greeting cards for guests.
Decorations – pine cones, fir branches, inflorescences of winter berries, lollipop sticks. They are placed in small groups near each plate, in the center, in a separate composition on a wooden board or a rough knitted napkin. The candles are simple white, quite large.
The second option is home-style soft. A snow-white or calmly checked tablecloth, warm linen napkins set off the coolness of white plates and glass without gilding. Carved figurines of deer lurked near ceramic dishes and wooden boards with snacks. And yet – it’s country! A green branch curls between the dishes, there are white candles in the candlesticks, and clusters of rowan trees are scattered.
Boho chic
If you want to decorate your New Year's feast brightly, effectively, and unusually, the boho-chic style is for you. The hand made elements at the base provide wide scope for imagination and self-expression. Crocheted and macrame napkins, runners, and tablecloths are actively used for serving.
Dishes from different sets are welcome, provided they are bright and non-standard in shape. It’s good if you still have glasses from the last century, with stems or regular ones. Tall, elegant wine glasses can easily coexist with earthy, brutal ones.
Decor – fresh and handmade flowers, compositions of fir branches and dried flowers, original covers for cutlery. The finishing touch is not on the ceiling - a spectacular chandelier or low-hanging dream catchers. Any color scheme, combinations of living wood and textiles are popular.
Minimalism and scandi
Simple, extraordinary, laconic - minimalism in decorating the New Year's table should become a continuation of the style of the apartment. Otherwise, the serving will look poor and hasty, as if it was set for a quick snack. Black and white colors, a little silver or gray linen, candles from miniature to giant, green branches are relevant. There may be no decor at all.
Scandinavian style is a little more loyal and homely. Combinations of white with pink, red, blue, gilding, natural wood and ceramics are welcome. The table can be decorated with carved figures, the chairs can be covered with fluffy fur capes.
Shabby chic
Summer style for winter serving - fresh, joyful, unusual. Bring out retro dishes - crystal salad bowls and glasses, fruit bowls on graceful legs, plates with gold rims and flowers.
Display all the beauty on a simple wooden surface or with imitation aged boards. A tablecloth is also suitable - a thin voile, with a printed or embroidered small pattern. Decorating is quite simple - lace, flowers, Christmas balls, candlesticks in the form of lanterns.
Rustic
A lot of untreated wood, brutal simplicity, natural coarse fabrics - burlap, unbleached linen, embroidery using the folk lubok technique. Large glasses, simple cutlery, glasses and small metal accessories, candles in jars - imitation of the life of woodcutters or forest hermits gives a special romanticism to a magical night.
Eco style
Ecological style is similar to Scandinavian. Combinations of white with herbal green, wood, live plants and dried flowers are welcome. Tablecloth - made of natural materials, linen runners, napkins, wooden or straw coasters for plates. Nuts, tangerines, dried fruits, gingerbread - for decoration, simple twine for dressing.
Glamorous
A lot of gilding, exquisite shapes, transparent glass on the thinnest legs, personalized places, an elegant surprise on each guest’s plate or beautifully packaged cutlery. Christmas balls in a vase, tinsel, sparkles, intricate candlesticks, sparkling deer figurines, carved snowflakes - decor with a claim to splendor is a must.
Candles
The more candles on the table for the New Year, the better. Entire compositions and homemade candlesticks made from pine cones, branches, berries and Christmas tree decorations look beautiful.

Color spectrum
Good taste requires that everything - the New Year's colors, the table, the decor - match each other. What are the winning combinations here? Most often, the dominant color of the New Year's celebration is red, which goes well with silver, gray, white, gold, but most importantly with green, which is also the main New Year's color. With this color scheme the table will instantly transform. However, everyone is free to choose their favorite color as the dominant one, but then care should be taken that additional colors look harmonious with it.
Red and gold
For those who want to celebrate the next New Year with special chic and grandeur, the combination of bright flames and shining gold, which can best demonstrate festive luxury, will be interesting.
If you place golden-colored Christmas tree balls on a table, the reflections of the garlands will be reflected in their sides, creating the feeling of fireworks. Red pine cones with gilding, golden splashes of champagne, shiny golden ribbons on napkins, golden chocolate medals scattered on a red tablecloth - a great many such ideas can come to mind if you plan to set the New Year's table at home. You can order designer rings for napkins; craftsmen will quickly weave them from beads.
To decorate the festive table, many sparkling attributes can be made from golden ribbons or beads. You can also buy thin copper or special wire for crafts, a string of red and golden beads (it doesn’t matter whether it’s costume jewelry or beads for the Christmas tree). These beads need to be strung on a wire, and then bent in arbitrary directions to form something like branches of different shapes. This decoration can be mixed with spruce branches on the festive table, add a few bright ribbons and large Christmas tree balls.
Red with green
The combination of green and red colors is classic for the New Year. The first signifies the color of the Christmas tree, and the second signifies the color of Father Frost's robe and his mysterious bag of gifts. Therefore, for setting the New Year's table, it would be very appropriate to resort to this bright pair.
It is worth recognizing that ordinary spruce needles are somewhat dark for decoration, but they can be replaced with lighter shades of fir branches or other evergreens.
An excellent decor would be New Year's table decorations in the form of original Christmas trees with cardboard or foam cones at the base, which can be given any desired shade of green.
You can also get a red-green palette on the table by combining red and green cutlery. For example, add green napkins and the same decorations (beads, Christmas tree decorations, etc.) to red plates. On the table in transparent vases you can place white candles floating among scarlet cranberries and green spruce branches.
Red with white
Red dishes are not at all common in households, because, as a rule, people buy white plates. Therefore, when you are setting the New Year's table at home, it is easier to combine snow-white dishes with red paraphernalia: candles, napkins, Christmas tree balls.
You can scatter red beads, stars and snowflakes cut out of red paper on the table (more precisely on a snow-white tablecloth).
The dull, monotonous look of a white tablecloth can be greatly enlivened by laying a strip of red fabric in the center of the table. Against this red background, white snowflakes and stars will already look bright, and some of them can be discreetly hemmed to the canvas, then they will not fall off even on the hanging part of the tablecloth.
For white plates, you can purchase red felt backings or cut them out yourself. On sale you can find square felt with sides of 30 cm; it can be processed with a regular office hole punch, making holes and giving it an openwork pattern. You can also cut it into a circle or heart shape.
Serving the holiday table with snowmen is a wonderful idea. You will need two plates of different sizes needed to depict a snowman. His eyes and buttons can be lined with olives, his nose with orange peppers or carrots, his scarf can be made from a red napkin, his hat can be made from black paper.
White with gold
The combination of white and gold is a chic option for decorating a New Year's celebration. It is better to choose not a rich golden shade that tends to bronze, but a lighter one that forms a smooth transition with snow-white dishes, tablecloths and other white paraphernalia present on the table.
It’s not difficult to look for simple solutions, they are everywhere, so everyone will conquer the New Year’s table setting with their own hands. So, you can tie white candles with a gold ribbon, cover the cones with nail polish and then sprinkle them with glitter, and purchase Christmas tree decorations in the store (stars, balls, angels, boots, golden garland). Using golden spray paint from a can, you can transform the appearance of various nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts), as well as wooden snowflakes made from ice cream sticks, pine cones, and shells.
Having bought golden paper, you can make flowers from it. Moreover, knowing the technique of creating such voluminous flowers, even a five-year-old child can cope with this simple work.
You can cut out a cardboard circle from a box and use decorative material (rhinestones, ribbons, gold paper, beads) to build a large clock dial showing the last minutes of the passing year. Such a watch will become a romantic decoration for the New Year's table.
Silver with lilac
DIY New Year's table setting can be inspired by observing the charm of frosty sunny weather, when the rays of the sun shimmer in intricate frosty patterns on the windows, flashing with bright sparks. Such a play of light and play of colors can inspire a special festive table setting.
A white tablecloth and dishes would be most appropriate here. But it is advisable to choose napkins in a light gray color, reminiscent of a winter dawn.
Apples, candles, and pine cones can be painted with silver spray paint with a slight lilac tint. Buy more beads of light lilac color and pour them into cups with candles. There should be a lot of items made of colorless transparent glass on the table, which will bring a feeling of freshness and a frosty morning.
From a plastic folder for papers, using stencils downloaded from the Internet, you can cut out New Year's silhouettes of a Christmas tree, a snowman, etc. They should then be placed on the table, stuck into soft marshmallow slices for stability. Some of the transparent figures can be treated with nail polish and sprinkled with lilac glitter.
Also, especially as a New Year's table decoration, you can buy a hair clip with a lilac rose, which you can attach to the rest of the composition. In the sewing accessories departments you can find ribbons and braid of the desired color, beautiful rhinestones. These accessories can be scattered on the table among a cloud of snow made of bird fluff, on which you can put a boa, sold in the same store.
The whole life around us is filled with ideas for setting the New Year's table. You just need to be more attentive, take a closer look, choose a color palette and then, while shopping, look for suitable items for the chosen style of table decoration, and buy them right away.
Silver with blue
The same white dishes can serve for a different serving arrangement, a real winter frosty fairy tale. To do this, you need to find a place on the table for transparent glass ice cubes, silver and blue details, decorative crystals, glossy gray bugle beads and rhinestones in white and blue cold shades.
Place large long candles in tall glasses, and fill the space between the wall of the glass and the candle with sparkles, beads, and fragments of “ice” (from an old laser disc cut into pieces). You can get cheap filler here like this: cut off the fluffy tinsel with scissors, and pour the resulting fine shiny cuts into a glass with a candle.
You can buy a can of silver paint, break a few thin branches from birch trees, dry them at home and paint them. These branches, as if silvered with frost, are then beautifully placed on a wide dish, Christmas balls are laid out among them and candles are placed. Scatter faceted beads on the table, which are sold inexpensively in craft stores.
Another simple way to diversify the New Year's table setting is to fill a deep vase made of colorless transparent glass with turquoise and blue Christmas tree balls, between which a string of Christmas tree beads will shine. Pour some sparkling blue beads onto the bottom of the glasses, pour in water and set floating candles.
For the center of the New Year's table, you can make a silver Christmas tree. To do this, you need to cut out a semicircle from thick paper, roll it into a cone, connecting the ends with a stapler. Then cut out a ribbon from silver paper (you can have a jagged one) or use silver lace, even or jagged braid. Starting from the top, wrap the cone with this tape or braid, going down in a spiral to its base, fixing the material with glue.
Game of colors
Table setting for the New Year does not necessarily have to rely on classic colors and their combinations; to decorate it, you can resort to unexpected colors.
Why not try bright spring colors that are more associated with Maslenitsa than with the New Year? You need to take bright gouache, dilute it in half with PVA glue in a wide glass or bowl, and dip the cones into this bath one at a time, then take them out, let the excess paint drip off and hang them on strings to dry. It turns out to be almost free decoration.
In a flower shop you can buy flowers of the desired shades, forming them into a composition for the New Year's table. This solution goes especially well with dwellings decorated in a cool, modern high-tech style. You can add a couple more colors here, for example, soft blue and pistachio. They can be combined in different ways and added to compositions to decorate the holiday table.

Smart serving - tips for innovators and conformists
Don’t try to make the New Year’s table, and the whole house, too colorful, there is a high risk of missing the mark. It is optimal to use no more than three colors of the same saturation - either bright or muted. Remember about the compatibility of textiles, appliances, and decorations.
A bright tablecloth will go well with elegant tableware without a pattern, perhaps with gilding, or crystal on stable legs. Blue color is the basis for silverware, twisted glass holders, and elegant tall glasses.
Stained glass looks great on a white, silver, or gold background. Natural tones are combined with ceramics; delicate shades and floral plates create a special homely atmosphere.
Follow the general direction of the chosen style, pay attention to details, improvise based on your capabilities. The New Year's table setting can match the design of the room as a whole or be duplicated with a similar accent.
Eg:
- country - an elegant, cheerful Christmas tree;
- boho-chic - garlands of pompoms on the walls;
- shabby chic - floral curtains;
- minimalism - gifts in craft or white paper.
If you want stability, choose what is close and understandable to you. If you are planning to start the New Year 2022 with global changes, start right now. Take an unusual approach and feel like a different person. There is time to study a direction that you absolutely do not like, but perhaps it will become a guiding thread.
There are no uniform recommendations on how to set and decorate the New Year's table - there is a good mood and an internal feeling of harmony. Catch this wave, be happy and everything will work out!
