2. In a large room, the forest beauty should occupy a central place where large flows of positive energy are concentrated.
3. By placing a tree in the western room of an apartment or house, you will attract prosperity and good luck. Spruce in the east will help adjust the energy to improve the general well-being of everyone who lives in the house or apartment. If you want to attract good luck in your professional activities, then place the forest beauty in a room located in the northern part. You should not place a New Year's tree in rooms in the southern part of the house, negative energy accumulates there.
4. Artificial trees do not carry any energy, so it must be alive. Choose a lush pine or spruce.
5. As toys, use figures and elements that attract good things. Figures of deer, cranes, and lotus will help you direct positive energy to your health. Love and prosperity in relationships will be attracted by paired figures of doves, cupids, swans, and hearts. Placing the New Year's tree with banknotes, shiny elements, goldfish and toads will allow you to direct your energy towards improving your financial situation.

• Yellow
• Grey
• Brown
• Gold.

Yellow bells, gray snowflakes, brown gingerbread, golden rain - this is one of a million possible combinations.

At the same time, following the morals of the animal, you should abandon red, blue and green. By the way, in this case you can use white wood (artificial, of course) as a basis. White Christmas trees, if decorated correctly, look amazing!

Creating harmony in the home

Every year it is customary to buy new toys, balls or other decorative elements to bring newness and freshness to the house. How to choose the right colors for jewelry to create the perfect composition?

• The main advice is to let the shades resonate with those already in your room. If you have active turquoise (for example, curtains and a sofa in this color), let the forest beauty also be dressed in turquoise tones.

• The theme of the holiday decoration should be traced throughout the house in the same style. It will be ridiculous to see the silver accessories of the Snow Queen in one room, and warm wooden country style motifs in another.

• Modern decorators offer to bring monochrome compositions to life. There's no need to cover everything in red if that's your favorite color. We are talking about the competent use of all shades of this spectrum. Use this gradient option: pink-fuchsia-cherry-ruby-cranberry-burgundy. Similarly, you can stretch any color and choose balls, ribbons, garlands, metafan in your own shade.

Color combination options

Traditionally, the usual shades that we associate with the New Year are red, green, gold and silver. However, any color can become the basis for a beautiful design.

When combining shades, use this tip:

Colors of the same depth and intensity combine well with each other. For example, pastels are easy to make friends with their own kind: pink, peach, light yellow, blue, lilac, beige complement each other perfectly.

So, here are more options for combinations that can be used to decorate both an artificial and live Christmas tree.

• Green and red
• Red with white
• Green and white
• Completely snow-white decor
• Blue, white and silver
• Ivory and matte gold
• Grey-green, ivory and pewter
• Bright purple, blue and green
• Ice blue, lilac and silver
• Beige, brown, golden yellow and rust
• Green, burgundy and gold.

New Year is a holiday when magnificent outfits are welcomed and create the right mood. So give free rein to your imagination, be creative and don’t be shy about expressing your own self in decor.

Remember how in the cartoon Prostokvashino they decorated a tree with everything that was found in the attic? We invite you to rummage through your grandmother’s chests and get out antiques from there. Such jewelry is filled with family history and love that is passed down from generation to generation.

Family dinner

On this family holiday, it will be important to hang family heirlooms and photos on green branches. This could be your child's pacifier, your husband's first sneaker, your crown from kindergarten. Imagine how many memories and warm moments you will experience while dressing up your beauty.

Country

Continuing the theme of warmth and unity, we invite you to be transported to a village hut, where handicrafts made from natural materials made with your own hands are used as decoration.
Knitted balls and toys, felt figures, and wooden crafts will be used.

Shabby chic

This trend is characterized by luxurious antiques or specially aged interior items. Pastel shades, beads and bows, lace and ribbons, flowers and hearts - all this creates a pleasant atmosphere.

Boho chic

An incredibly fashionable trend that is now popular both in clothing and in decor. This is an explosion of colors and bright elements, a mixture of textures and materials. Ethnic motifs, hand-made items, beads and pom-poms – this is where the real holiday lies.

When the tree is small

In recent years, the eco-trend for Christmas trees in pots has been gaining popularity. Many people buy such beauties to plant them in their garden after using them as a New Year’s symbol.

So how to decorate a small Christmas tree? The main thing here is not to overdo it. Just a garland will be enough. If desired, you can hang up to 10 small figures.

We suggest focusing on the base and replacing the portable potty with something beautiful:

• Wicker basket
• Bright bucket
• Wooden box
• Original flowerpot.

What you can't do without

Having looked at the New Year's fair, it is easy to get lost in all the variety of goods offered, and impulsively buy a bunch of unnecessary things.

Remember, you can do some of the decor yourself, so put away those expensive balls and buy a simpler option and paints with a brush.

So what do we need to beautifully decorate the Christmas tree with our own hands?

• Garland. There are countless options for shapes and colors. If we are leaning towards minimalistic decoration, pay attention to modest small lights of the same color. Light bulbs that change color from red to green, then to blue and yellow are popular. Chains in the shape of stars, droplets, and lanterns look beautiful.

• Balls. You can, of course, do it without them. But, paying tribute to traditions, you should not forget about them. Choose several colors depending on your style.

• Toys. Various figures of Santa Clauses, angels, tin soldiers and other characters are becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays abstraction is popular - stars, snowflakes, circles, etc. If your hands have grown out of the right place, knit something of your choice.

But no one hangs rain on the Christmas tree anymore. In its place came ribbons, beads, and burlap.

If you are decorating a room with a child, invite him to prepare the decor together. Bake funny gingerbread men, dry oranges, wrap nuts in foil. In the end, you can simply hang candies on strings and allow you to eat one piece straight from the tree on each day of the holidays.

Nowadays it is fashionable to lay out beautifully wrapped gift boxes under a tree. It could just be a dummy, because the gifts definitely won’t last that long.

Let the design of the boxes be a stylistic continuation of the Christmas tree. Use the same colors and elements.

And the holiday is getting closer

Try to approach the design completely differently this year than you are used to. Experiment. Use bold techniques.

When else can you let magic into your home, if not on the eve of the New Year? Choose new colors, shapes, styles. Surprise your family and guests. After all, we often complain that we are tired of everything old, but at the same time we repeat the same thing year after year, even in such things as the decor of the New Year's symbol.

May your home be full of happiness, light and comfort in the New Year! Happy upcoming holiday!

Germany was the first to decorate the Christmas tree. According to legend, we should be grateful to Martin Luther, an outstanding German reformer, for the emergence of this tradition. On Christmas Eve in 1513, as legend has it, he returned home and admired the star-strewn sky. It seemed as if they were sparkling on the tree branches. Having reached home, Martin Luther decided to reproduce what he had seen, so he put a small Christmas tree on the table, decorated it with candles and a star, which he placed on the top as a reminder of the Star of Bethlehem, which indicated the path to the birthplace of Jesus in the Bible.

It is widely known that in Central Europe in the 16th century there was a tradition of decorating a small beech tree with pears, plums and apples, which had previously been boiled in honey, as well as hazelnuts. On Christmas Eve, a beech tree decorated in this way was placed in the center of the festive table.

About a century later, in Switzerland and Germany, not only deciduous trees, but also conifers appeared at Christmas feasts. The main requirement that was placed on them concerned size. The tree had to be miniature. At first, it was customary to hang small Christmas trees decorated with apples and candies from the ceiling, and only over time the tradition of installing a large tree in the living room arose.

From the 18th to the 19th centuries, the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree spread beyond Germany and took root in England, Denmark, Holland, the Czech Republic and Austria. Thanks to the development of emigration, immigrants from Germany taught Americans how to decorate Christmas trees. At first, fruits, candles and various sweets were used for this, but over time the custom arose of decorating Christmas trees with toys made of cardboard, cotton wool and wax, and subsequently glass.

New Year trees came to Russia thanks to Peter the Great. He, while still a very young man, was visiting his friends in Germany, where he saw a strange tree decorated with candies and apples, and received very pleasant impressions from this sight. After Peter ascended the throne, funny Christmas trees similar to those seen in Europe appeared in Russia. Decorations made from coniferous trees and their branches were installed on central streets and near the houses of noble people.

Over time, when Peter the Great passed away, everyone forgot about the newfangled custom. The tree became a popular Christmas attribute only a century later. In 1817, Princess Charlotte appeared at the Russian court and became the wife of Prince Nikolai Pavlovich. On her initiative, a tradition arose in Russia of decorating the New Year's table with bouquets of spruce branches. In 1819, the first festive tree appeared in the Anichkov Palace, which Nikolai Pavlovich installed under the influence of his wife, and 1852 was the year the first decorated Christmas tree was publicly displayed. She appeared in the premises of the Ekaterininsky (later Moskovsky) station in St. Petersburg. After this, there was a surge in the popularity of Christmas trees. Rich Russians began to order expensive European jewelry and hold holiday parties for children.

The New Year tree perfectly reflected Christian tenets. The fruits, sweets and toys with which she was decorated were a symbol of the gifts brought to the newborn Jesus. The candles served as a reminder of how the site of the Holy Family was illuminated. In addition, on the top of the fir tree there was a star, which served as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem, which appeared in the sky at the moment of the birth of Christ and showed the Magi the way to him. All this contributed to the transformation of the tree into a Christmas symbol.

The First World War was a period of refusal to decorate the Christmas tree, as an enemy tradition that came from hostile Germany. Nicholas II introduced a ban on it, which was lifted after the October Revolution. The Soviet-era public New Year tree was first erected on December 31, 1917 on the territory of the Mikhailovsky Artillery School in St. Petersburg.

The next ban on the use of a decorated Christmas tree as a holiday symbol came in 1926, when this tradition was called anti-Soviet by the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Active anti-religious work was carried out, within the framework of which it was, in particular, prohibited to celebrate Christmas. Therefore, the use of any Christmas attributes was out of the question.

However, by 1935, the holiday tree was experiencing a revival again. On December 28, an article appeared in the Pravda newspaper about organizing the installation of a New Year tree for children. This proposal came from Postyshev, the second secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and received the support of Stalin.

On the eve of 1938, a 15-meter New Year tree, decorated with 10 thousand toys, was installed in the House of Unions, which became the central element of the children's holiday party. Since then, such events have become traditional and the main Christmas tree of the country was considered to be the tree in the House of Unions. Since 1976, this title has passed to the Christmas tree installed in the Kremlin. Originally a symbol of Christmas, the decorated Christmas tree gradually turned into a New Year's attribute. The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree with fruits and sweets has also gradually transformed. Christmas tree decorations have become a reflection of the era. They depicted pioneers blowing horns and portraits of members of the Politburo, and during the Second World War, toys with weapons, paratroopers and orderly dogs appeared. Later, military-themed pictures were replaced by snowflakes with a hammer and sickle, airplanes and cars depicted on them. In Khrushchev's times, corn cobs, tractors and hockey players appeared on Christmas trees, and after a while - fairy-tale characters and everything related to space.

There are many different styles of Christmas tree decorations available today. The traditional option is to decorate the New Year's tree with colored glass toys, tinsel and electric garlands. In the last century, there has been a transition from natural Christmas trees to artificial ones, which sometimes very realistically imitate living trees. Some of them are stylized and do not involve the use of additional decorations. There is also a fashion for certain color schemes for Christmas tree decorations. The tree can be blue, red, gold, silver or any other color. Conciseness and minimalism are in fashion. Garlands with lights are invariably used to decorate the New Year tree, however, these are often not electric light bulbs, but LEDs.

Where to put and how to decorate a Christmas tree according to Feng Shui

The main rule for installing a New Year's beauty according to Feng Shui in 2019 is its purpose: the tree should bring happiness and joy.

You should not place a large tree in a small room. It will impress your family and delight your children, but the crowded atmosphere in the house will worsen. For a holiday, a small tree placed in the corner of the room or on a table is enough. Spruce can be replaced with coniferous branches in a vase.

In a large room for the New Year, the coniferous beauty should occupy the main place. The tree is placed in the center of the room, because positive energy is concentrated there. This will help your family not only feel the holiday atmosphere, but also solve the problems that have accumulated over the year. If you install the main attribute of the holiday in the western room, it will attract good luck and prosperity to the house, and bring replenishment to the married couple. The Christmas tree in the western part of the house favors “piglets”, “pigs”, “hogs” - everyone whose year is coming.

A New Year's tree in the eastern side helps improve the well-being of households, and in the northern room it brings success in professional activities. The coniferous beauty should not be placed in southern rooms, as negative energy accumulates in this part of the house.

Dry wood in any room will create an unfavorable atmosphere. An artificial Christmas tree is also useless for activating positive energy. It is best to choose a live pine tree for the holiday, which is also a symbol of longevity.

It is important not only to choose and install a Christmas tree for the New Year, but also to decorate it correctly. Toys that attract health include figurines of cranes or deer, lotus flowers, and walnuts. If you decorate a coniferous beauty with banknotes, goldfish or shiny rain, the financial condition of the family will improve. Hearts or paired figures of doves, swans, and cupids will help you attract love. And for family happiness and the birth of children, it is worth hanging a miniature swallow’s nest on the Christmas tree.

Preparing for the New Year's holiday is an exciting activity that unites all family members. The Yellow Earth Pig does not tolerate lazy people who do everything carelessly. She loves creative, funny and unpredictable people. Therefore, the design of the Christmas tree for 2019 should be unusual and bright.

The holiday is approaching and you need to make a decision about how to decorate the Christmas tree for the New Year so that fairy tales and magic fill space, time and human consciousness. Any person yearning for a holiday can cope with the task if he follows the unspoken rules that have been tested in practice by more than one generation.

Stages of achieving desired results

Decorating a Christmas tree on the eve of the New Year holidays in itself brings joy. But since you don’t want to “lubricate” the pre-holiday mood and expectation of a miracle with confusion about the location of certain New Year’s accessories, it’s worth taking a course on a pre-thought-out procedure:

1. The first step towards the long-awaited effect will be decorating the green beauty with garlands. Placing this bulky element on the branches first will make subsequent tasks much easier.
2. Considering the fragility of Christmas tree decorations, it is recommended to start placing them from the top. This approach is especially relevant when choosing a tall Christmas tree.
3. Using paper products as New Year's decorations, it is better to distribute them among the pine needles at the last moment. Since such toys are not particularly noticeable among the sparkling New Year's tinsel, they will play their assigned role only against the backdrop of a completely finished picture.
4. The final chord in the decorative melody will be decorating the Christmas tree with artificial snow, rain, etc.
5. An excellent addition to the festive interior can be certain figures combined into mini-compositions. Relying on this method, it is possible to breathe in the magic of the surrounding space.

Algorithms for decorating a Christmas tree

A felled tree begins to live a completely different life as a result of decoration manipulations. To do this, you should use any suitable method of placing accessories:

1. Chaotic placement of sparkling balls, combined with a circular order of application of garlands.
2. Arrangement in a spiral, both garlands and toys (according to size and type). Thus, several spirals are formed on the tree, different in color and character.
3. Longitudinal direction for garlands and toys, selected according to colors. A special effect is achieved by tinsel tied with bows between the verticals of the toys.
4. For adherents of the classic style, a ring arrangement of toys and garlands is recommended. Moreover, as you approach the bottom of the tree, the size of the decorations increases.

Effect obtained through style selection

When we start decorating the Christmas tree for the New Year, we pursue a goal: to please ourselves and our loved ones. In this regard, you can only limit yourself to your own imagination. All methods are good here:

• purchasing designer toys;
• use of accessories from previous years;
• skillful management of surrounding objects and furnishings;
• making a product with your own hands.

The most important thing is to choose exactly the style that fits perfectly into the surrounding interior and will appeal to people planning to celebrate the New Year near this tree.

Christmas tree in classic style

Celebration in the classical style gives rise to the feeling that a beautiful moment has been stopped, as if by some inexplicable magic. Jewelry in this style will help people of any age once again plunge into the atmosphere of bygone years. You can use fragments from old films or postcards as a sample.

The main attributes of decorating a classic Christmas tree can be:

• toys in silver and golden shades;
• the presence of red ribbons and other bright accents;
• caramel-type balls and sticks;
• toys curved in the shape of a hook;
• angels, ballerinas and other objects made of paper or cardboard;
• garlands of different types;
• use of a pointed crown.

If you prefer a tall spruce, it is better to place it in the center of the room. The green beauty is smaller and will look good on a table or chest of drawers. Old toys that remember grandma’s childhood will harmoniously fit into the New Year’s decoration in a classic style. Rain and paper decorations can be hung not only on the Christmas tree, but also in the openings between furniture and on the walls.

New Year decorations in modern style

Each note in the melody of the interior should be in tune with the overall style. The need to decorate a New Year tree in a room decorated in high-tech, minimalism or another modern solution requires choosing a beautiful coniferous tree of a strictly correct shape. In terms of toys, you should focus on neutral-looking objects, like balls, similar in color, but different in size. In this case, paper decorations are completely inappropriate, since they will stand out from the general row and spoil the impression with the naivety of their appearance. Don't get too carried away with New Year's tinsel.

To be considered modern, it would be a good idea for a follower of the modern style in the interior to familiarize themselves with fashionable ideas from the designers of our time. In this capacity, technological structures that are very similar in shape to a Christmas tree can be presented:

• New Year's beauty, skillfully cut out of paper or cardboard;
• product made from combined materials;
• imitation spruce made of plastic;
• composition made from recycled materials (plastic bottles, aluminum cans, etc.).

You should focus only on your own mood and the surrounding interior. The most important thing is to emphasize individuality and present the chosen style favorably.

The nuances of decorating an artificial Christmas tree

Decorating an artificial Christmas tree is much easier than an analogue taken from the natural environment. The trick is that only products with branches of the correct shape come off the manufacturer’s conveyors. When starting to decorate, you don’t have to use any special toys, since any will do. The main restrictions can only be related to the color of the product. For example: the desire to achieve a contrast with the toys on the white spruce requires the exclusion of objects painted with light and silver paint. Decorating with colorful toys is considered an excellent solution. A special effect is observed when the sequence is observed, like the colors of the rainbow. But you can only enjoy the reflections of the garlands in the dark, since they are almost invisible in a lit room.

There are also some nuances in decorating multi-colored artificial trees. These items are so good-looking that they can easily do without toys. In these cases, decor should only be used to decorate the surrounding space. If necessary, it is not at all difficult to repaint artificial branches yourself.

Unique design - an ideal solution for people with imagination

The design of the New Year's miracle is not bound by any framework. People with unlimited imagination and creative ideas can adopt a unique design:

• from flowers or fruits;
• use of candles (subject to mandatory compliance with fire safety measures);
• choosing knitted items;
• implementation of thematic ideas using old gadgets or accessories, etc.

If each of the inhabitants of the house has their own ideas regarding New Year's decorations, then no one will hurt to use several Christmas trees placed in different rooms. In this case, you can choose both a living beauty and artificial options of any color. Any of the ultra-modern options for a creative look is quite acceptable.

Choice of colors

One of the most important roles in decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year is the choice of color predominance:

1. The royal combination in terms of colors and shades is the dominance of red and gold jewelry. In order not to spoil the picture, it is very important to refrain from diluting the red-golden palette with other colors.
2. The freshness of the solution will please the choice in favor of white and red tones. But here you should remember the boring appearance of exclusively white garlands. Only balloons look chic in such colors.
3. The combination of brown and gold shades will surprise you with the nobility of the composition. It wouldn’t hurt to add some details painted in red tones here.
4. The magic of yellow-brown-green colors is only enhanced when combined with red and pink decorations.
5. The harmony of white, green and silver will not be spoiled by some details in dark colors.
6. An imitation of the winter mood, inspired by the sight of shimmering snow and ice, can be the use of toys in blue, purple and silver. Blueish lighting will help enhance the effect. A splash of yellow or red is not welcome.
7. If you have simple and clean lighting, metallic colors (gold, silver, bronze, etc.) look great.

Ways to decorate the top

• large stars;
• figurines of Jesus or Santa Claus;
