Are you trying to create a festive atmosphere in your home a la New Year’s Eve? Whether you’re bringing in the end of the year and heralding a fresh start, or you enjoy the glitter and great color-changing lights of the New Year, it’s possible to make every room a celebration!
Why not embrace the spirit of the New Year by trying out a house-wide theme or mixing up the decor in each space? Don’t be afraid to play with different styles and themes until you find the perfect look that brings you joy.
It sounds easy, but once you start shopping around, the amount of celebratory decorations can get overwhelming. Don’t stress! We’re here to help. Let these 7 New Year decoration ideas get you started as you strive to create a festive atmosphere in your home.
Decoration ideas for New Years
1. Go Big With Balloons
What’s a party without balloons? But as we get older, decorating with balloons becomes a little more complex. Instead of blowing up helium balloons and letting them bob around the room, design balloon arches to cover the entryway of a door.
Even more fun is a balloon drop, where you can hide dozens of balloons in a blanket hung from the ceiling (leaving about a two-foot gap and attaching a rope to the blanket). When the clock strikes midnight, pull the rope and let the balloons fall!
2. Create (Fun) Chaos With Confetti
Ahh, confetti. It’s the decor that everyone loves to hate. Sprinkling some glitter confetti in a birthday card and watching the recipient open it is fun! But cleaning up after the mess — not so much.
The same idea applies to a NYE confetti bash. As long as you know you’ll probably be cleaning up confetti through next New Year’s, have fun with it! Fill small containers with confetti and cover them with a tight top. When it’s time to countdown to the new year, pass the containers out and have everyone sprinkle confetti in the air (or on their neighbor)!
3. Bring In a Wine Bar
Who needs a New Year’s celebration to have a wine bar? This decorative room feature is perfect all year round! But when it’s time to get a little extra festive, accent your bar with the traditional black, gold, and silver. Add some ice buckets to the counter with champagne, and raise a toast to the celebration!
4. Spice Up the Fireplace
During Christmas, this room feature is full of red, white, and green joyful decor, but when it’s time to add more excitement, the fireplace is the perfect place to accent a room with metallic black, silver, and gold. As long as you don’t intend to use the fireplace for its intended purpose (or if yours is an artificial version), ribbons, balloons, signs, and other decor go perfectly around this showpiece.
5. Decorate the Chandelier
Do you have hanging lights, like a chandelier, in your room? If so, these luminescent sources are an ideal way to add some extra happiness to an area. Take some ribbons, garland, ornaments, and other lightweight decor and string them around the chandelier.
6. Make a Champagne Tower
Whether you want to invest in a bar or just offer your guests some drinks, it’s crucial to do it with flair. A champagne tower showcases glasses of bubbly on a flat surface (where people are not likely to bump into it) like a house of cards. This can be very tricky, so you might not want to drink any of the champagne while you set up the tower! The end result is worth every stressful movement, though, and your guests will be highly impressed.
7. Dig the Disco Ball Decor
From rotating lights to swizzle sticks, disco balls are everywhere at NYE. Grab some disco decor and open your home’s widest space to let your guests dance to the groovy music. As a fun extra, make it a ‘70s theme and have everyone dress like they’re visiting Studio 54 (minus the drama, of course)!
