Garlands with balls, hung in a chaotic manner, as if to cover the Christmas tree, no longer impress many people. It is much more practical and ultimately more beautiful to choose one direction or theme for decoration and follow it.
Christmas tree style
In order to really beautifully dress up the main event of the upcoming holiday, you need, first of all, to decide on the style in which you plan to decorate the tree.
Traditional
The tree as a symbol of Christmas (which became a New Year's tree in Russia only in the 30s of the 20th century) in its original form is still represented in the West in holidays. Whether natural wood or not, it Green colour and has three options color scheme jewelry:
- warm, where red and gold colors are used;
The fact is that the first decorations on the Christmas tree in Germany in the 17th century were ordinary red and yellow apples, which looked good against the green background of pine needles. According to legend, the first glass balls to decorate holiday trees were forced to be made in the year when apples did not grow. Of course, they were similar to the usual fruits in shape and color: round and red or yellow (golden).
- cold, where blue and silver balls are presented;
- mixed with decorations of all four colors at once.
Decorating a Christmas tree in this style is notable for the fact that it can take months to prepare. You can hang “souvenirs” from all the places you’ve visited over the year on the tree, and before that, carefully select them with your child on the seaside on vacation, at grandma’s garden, or on a hunt with dad.
It would seem that not much time has passed, and Soviet-era toys have become not only a real rarity, but also a rather expensive pleasure if you buy them again. If you still have a box of old toys from your childhood or your parents’ childhood, you can safely hang them on the Christmas tree and have no doubt about the relevance of this decision.
On the eve of the New Year 1935, it was decided to return the holiday, traditional for pre-revolutionary Russia, to Soviet children, but in a new capacity:
- now the tree has become a New Year's tree, not a Christmas tree;
- instead of the six-pointed star of Bethlehem, which shone in honor of the birth of Christ, the tree was crowned with a red five-pointed one;
- angels and candles were replaced with colorful figures of animals and people, pine cones and fruits. And this, by the way, became distinctive feature Russian Soviet New Year tree, because in the West, toys, as a rule, are designed in the same color and shape.
Of course, pine cones and astronauts from the 80s should never be mixed with modern matte balls and garlands - it will look awkward and strange.
Minimalism
If we are talking about minimalist decoration of the New Year's tree, then the emphasis here is, first of all, on the beauty of the tree itself. It is enough to hang only a few balls or just a garland with small bulbs to give the mood to the room without going overboard with the decoration for the tree.
This is a good solution if:
- you are not confident in your abilities as a designer or simply have no taste;
- you don’t have time to invent and implement any concept;
- you do not have the desire or ability to spend money on a large number of high-quality jewelry.
Having a beautiful tree and the simplest garland, you no longer have to worry about the elegance and festivity of your Christmas tree.
Consonant with the Year of the Rooster
The coming year is associated with a symbol in the image fire rooster, which perfectly matches the rustic style.
You can please the Cockerel if you decorate your Christmas tree in a village design. Use toys made with your own hands or from natural materials. Christmas tree decorations made of wood are suitable - large beads, images of wooden cockerels, sleighs, skates, birds, etc.
Instead of Christmas boots, hang decorative felt boots on beautiful ribbon. Will fit very well into this topic knitted jewelry and toys, as well as textile handicrafts.
An excellent option is the predominance of red in the decor, because the symbol of the cockerel has a fiery hue.
If you want to combine European and eastern calendar at the same time, then decorate the Christmas tree for the New Year different toys in the form of cockerels.
Be sure that now this proud and cocky Cockerel will not leave you throughout the year, rewarding you with happiness, wealth and love.
Provence
If your nature requires a more sophisticated style, then think about decorating the Christmas tree in the Provence style. The distinctive features of this design are a mix of luxurious and delicate.
Feel free to use various ornate lace, ruffles, and silk elements for a Provence-style Christmas tree. The gold color fits very well into this trend. Golden balls, beads with “gilding”, shiny toys will be an excellent Christmas tree decoration with a French “flavor”. As an alternative to gold, you can use toys in soft pastel colors.
Openwork elements - knitted, cutwork, wicker - are an integral part of the Provence Christmas tree.
Regular strings are not suitable for hanging toys; it is best to attach them with decorative strings.
If you have artificially aged toys, it will be a real find. You can also look for real vintage New Year's items and decorate your Christmas tree with them. You can find them in grandma's bins or at flea markets.
There should be no modern synthetics on the Christmas tree!
Another option for embodying the Provence style in decorating a Christmas tree is to use the queen of flowers - the rose. Natural and artificial roses in combination with green pine needles - very stylish and laconic!
How to decorate a Christmas tree correctly
If you still decide to decorate your Christmas tree beautifully and in accordance with all the canons and rules, at all costs, a few tips on the position of toys and garlands on the tree will be very helpful.
Combination of colors on the Christmas tree
The first thing you need to do is select decorations for your New Year's tree. Over the years of celebration, a lot of them accumulate, some are made with one’s own hands or given as gifts, and, as a rule, they are all from different stories and do not sit well next to each other from an aesthetic point of view. In order to correctly combine the colors of toys on a Christmas tree, you need, firstly, to decide on the style in which it will be decorated, because sometimes it already contains a certain set of colors and you don’t need to invent anything (as in the traditional style of decorating Christmas trees, about which discussed above). Secondly, you need to know several principles for using the so-called designer color wheel, which will help you choose the right colors not only for decorating a Christmas tree, but also in any other situation when you need to beautifully arrange several colors together.
The color wheel was first mentioned in early color theories back in the 17th century. Initially it practical use boiled down to a visual aid for mixing dyes to obtain desired color, because previously the dyes were only of the basic blue, red and yellow colors, and all other colors and shades were achieved by mixing them. The color wheel is still the first and main guide for every artist and designer to achieve harmony in their works and projects.
So, you can decorate the Christmas tree:
- different shades of the same color (on the color wheel these are the 3 or 4 colors closest to each other);
- gradient, that is, arranging the toys in the same order as the colors in the circle, starting with any of them and moving to the right or left;
- choosing colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, for example, yellow and purple, blue and red, green and lilac. Such combinations look unusual, but are always pleasing to the eye.
Placement of decorations
Having decided on the color of toys and tinsel, do not rush to place it all on the tree. Next you need to decide on the festive geometry of your tree. There may be three options for the placement of decorations:
- screw (or spiral);
- along longitudinal lines (or vertical);
- circular (or horizontal).
Each of the options is beautiful and none is the only correct one, it all depends on your preferences and tastes.
How to hang a garland
The garland is hung on the tree first and sets the tone for further decoration of the tree.
Once you have decided on which lines you will hang the decorations, you need to choose the appropriate garland or prepare tinsel of the required length and size and place it on the tree, depending on your decision:
- attach a long garland to the top and wrap it around the tree several times, hanging the lanterns in a spiral;
- hang several medium-sized garlands or pieces of tinsel vertically, securing each one to the top of the tree;
- place several short garlands or strings of rain on the branches, thereby marking horizontal lines.
How to decorate the top of a Christmas tree
When the garland has been hung and the color scheme for the New Year tree has been chosen, all that remains is to decide on the decoration of the top of the tree.
The traditional star has long ceased to have its original biblical meaning and has lost the communist connotations from the 20th century, so if you did not choose Soviet vintage as the style of your tree, you can crown it with:
- a star of absolutely any color and size, for example, to match all the other decorations on:
- a bow made from ordinary ribbon, which is used to tie girls’ braids;
- a hat of Santa Claus or one of the family members;
- a mitten or felt boot;
- a soft toy planted near the top of the tree will also look great.
There are many options and their choice depends, among other things, on the place where the spruce is decorated. For example, in a company's office it may be crowned with a symbol similar to a production label, or a mascot of its employees.
Options for decorating a New Year tree: unity of style, color or shape (video)
So, in order for the New Year tree to look beautiful, you need:
- choose a style or theme for decorating the tree;
- decide on the color scheme and, based on this, select toys and tinsel;
- decide on which lines the toys will be placed;
- hang garlands and tinsel along the selected lines;
- hang toys without disturbing the overall geometry of the tree.
The international symbol of the New Year is, of course, the Christmas tree. To this day, the question of how to decorate a Christmas tree is very important for us on the eve of the upcoming holidays.
The tradition of annually decorating this tree came to us from Germany. It is believed that such an idea was first proposed by the church reformer Martin Luther (16th century). And today people try to outdo themselves in this matter and try to dress up Christmas tree as beautiful as possible. And I think this is relevant for all times.
And today we will talk about decorating the Christmas tree in detail and in detail. Let's try to approach this issue with different sides, let's look at it in theory and in the photo. And most importantly, let’s learn a few interesting ideas for inspiration and creating a New Year's mood.
Coming 2019 eastern horoscope is the Year of the Pig (Boar). This is a cute, good-natured animal that symbolizes innocence, comfort, and family joys. The pig also strives for comfort and material well-being.
This is generally the image of a homely, zealous housewife who knows how to work miracles in the kitchen, delight her family, and also manages to look after the children, tenderly cares for her beloved and generally brings only good news to her home.
In 2019 we celebrate the Year of the Yellow Earth Pig. This is a calm and cozy image, so it is believed that it is better to choose options for decorating the New Year tree among calm, warm tones and styles.
This brings us to two interesting ideas:
- Of course, the main character herself should be on the New Year's tree.
- The main color is yellow and its shades (pale, bright, golden, orange).
Let's try to visualize how these ideas can be implemented.
Symbol of the year - Yellow Earth Pig
Let's start with the main character - a cute pig who is ready to show off anywhere in the tree. It can be hung on the Christmas tree or placed under it (especially if the toy is quite large).
But in any case, the pig should become unique business card- the center of attraction of everyone's attention. This is very easy to achieve, because he has a very cute face that not only pleases, but even makes guests and owners laugh.
And of course, there are ready-made versions of pigs in the form of Christmas tree decorations made of glass and other shiny materials.

And now about the color scheme. The predominance of yellow does not mean the plot is monotonous. In fact, this color has very interesting, intriguing shades that symbolize wealth and well-being.
It is also the color of the sun, which is generally perceived by us as something warm, positive - in a word, cheerful.
Of course, it is not forbidden to use toys of the same size and shape, but in different shades of yellow. It's good if they have different surface– glossy, matte, mirror. After all, the eye is attracted not by monotony, but by diversity.
And this is how you can imagine this variety of toys of similar shades.
And those who like original, bold experiments can consider this option.
The abundance of yellow does not mean the absence of other colors. Mustard, brown, green, white and even red tones go well with this color scheme.
How to decorate a Christmas tree beautifully: TOP 5 effective tips
Of course, the most correct answer to the question of how to decorate a New Year tree is: the way you like. And to do this you just need to follow your own intuition and sense of beauty.
And it would be good to pay attention to classic design techniques that have long become familiar. These are simple principles for combining colors, styles, shapes and sizes. But first things first.
Live or artificial?
If this question does not arise, of course, you can immediately move on to the next section. And if you have certain doubts, you can simply listen to yourself and those useful tips, which have long been derived experimentally.
Of course, an artificial Christmas tree is more practical option. Needles don’t fall from it, you won’t get pricked on its branches, and it’s also perfectly symmetrical, and all the branches can be bent to hang a toy, tinsel or garland as best as possible.
A living tree has its own undeniable advantage - it smells pleasantly of pine needles and frosty freshness. Therefore, if you achieve the same smell in a different way, a festive mood is guaranteed. And you can do this using:
- branches of pine, spruce and other coniferous trees;
- aroma lamps with fir oil;
- Air fresheners are the simplest, but not entirely natural option.
Therefore, whether it is worth purchasing a living beauty that you will have to part with in just a few weeks is up to you to decide. Although it is obvious that there are many more arguments in favor of artificial spruce.
Choosing a Christmas tree style
And this question is the most important. Choosing a style means choosing:
- color scheme;
- patterns;
- symbolic toys.
If you follow the current traditions of 2019, then, as already mentioned, you must definitely find a place for the pig and decorate the New Year’s tree in yellow tones. On the other hand, we can get creative and add other tones to yellow. And in general, you can create your own unique style.
Here are some examples for inspiration:
- Perfect for lovers of the old and good retro style, which, by the way, can stand out against the backdrop of a variety of lush Christmas trees. This style involves the presence of antique toys or even rare originals. Do-it-yourself crafts, streamers, flags, chains and even... old photographs that can be placed in beautiful frames are welcome.
- Single color Christmas tree– we have already considered such options using the example of the yellow range, which is relevant in 2019. Colorful Christmas trees are made up of almost the same color or similar shades. Therefore, to create variety, toys are used that are different in shape, size, and style.
- But if we allow different colors, but at the same time use toys of only one type (albeit of different sizes) - this style is called European. It’s easy to see that this is how Christmas trees are often decorated in studios, shopping centers and other public places. This is a rather interesting technique that will be even more effective if, for example, we start “playing” with the color scheme.
- Snow style for lovers of frost, silvery shades and generally everything winter. Decorations for such a Christmas tree are selected to match the snowy shades - these can be silver icicles, balls, cones and other beautiful toys.
How to hang garlands and tinsel
It would seem that what is so difficult about this? Garlands and tinsel - traditional Christmas decorations, which are consistently used year after year in all countries and continents.
It is better to hang them first for practical and aesthetic reasons. If you first decorate the tree with toys, then the wires of the garlands will get tangled in them, and most importantly, then the overall design, the “filling” of the tree, will not be entirely clear.
Strictly speaking, there is only one way to hang a garland - by winding it in a spiral, starting from the top of the head and ending with the floor. What length is suitable?
The following ratio has been experimentally derived: 10 meters of colored light bulbs for every 2 meters of wood. That is, this option is just right for an indoor beauty. However, even if the length is 15 meters, it will not get worse - there is never too much light.
But you may need a little more tinsel. First of all, you need to choose it correctly. What's better for a Christmas tree - traditional serpentine or New Year's beads?
It all depends on the style of decoration and the prevailing color scheme, because both pictures can look very beautiful. The main condition is that the tinsel should not hang anyhow, but with a clear artistic design - waves, zigzags, etc.
Toys big or small
We can say: both, but subject to a harmonious combination. Of course, there are certain limits beyond which it is better not to go.
Too large toys that fit well on city Christmas trees are not suitable for indoor use. And miniature figures will simply get lost on the New Year's beauty - it is better to place them on souvenir and gift trees.
As for toys of acceptable sizes, when placing them it is better to follow these tips:
You can take figures of the same size and distribute them evenly across the tree. It could be, for example, only balls or only cones - that same European style.
You can take both large and medium toys. But then, first of all, it is better to distribute the dimensional figures. They should emphasize the main pattern or create a dominant color scheme. After this, you can hang smaller models.
And most importantly, you should not obviously overdo it with the number of toys. A decoration for a Christmas tree, but not a tree for decorations. Still, she is the one the main character evenings. And toys are the decorative element that emphasizes its natural beauty.
How to decorate a Christmas tree: 10 consecutive steps
Based on all of the above, you can draw up some kind of instructions on how to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year:
- We decide on a specific tree - artificial or natural.
- Choosing a place for the Christmas tree. The best thing is that it can be viewed from all sides. If the room has a kind of center of attraction, like a false fireplace, this is the best option.
- We choose the style of the Christmas tree, note the features of a particular year ( fashionable color and the image of the patron saint according to the eastern calendar).
- Deciding how to arrange the garland. Most often this is the classic version with full coverage of the entire tree. You can add light bulbs along the edges, and also at the bottom to highlight the gifts.
- After the garland “lay down” on the branches, we check how evenly it is positioned. To do this, you need to look at it from different angles and sides, closer and further, right and left.
- Now it’s the turn of tinsel, with the help of which we determine the main pattern and motif - these can be traditional, but still relevant waves with one or another arc angle, zigzags and other motifs.
- The next step is toys. Let's start with large balls, figures and the top of the head. We distribute them evenly among the branches from top to bottom. If there are any iconic, special decorations, it is better to direct additional garland lights at them, or even hang additional white-yellow lamps.
- We appreciate our creation and fill the voids more small toys. Or we leave it as it is - after all, decorating a Christmas tree does not mean hanging it with different figures. Perhaps all the beauty will be in the branches, illuminated with garlands and decorated with tinsel.
- We check what the tree looks like in daylight, and most importantly, in the dark. After all, the beauty is that at the sacred hour all the lights will go out, and only a burning garland will remain. This will be the whole charm of the holiday.
- Finally, we decorate the place under the tree - it will be a magical island with gifts, where, of course, you can put Father Frost with the Snow Maiden and a kind pig, which will certainly bring good luck to the whole family in the new year.
Decorating a Christmas tree in an apartment: photos and unusual techniques

As already mentioned, the most good option location of the New Year's tree - next to a place that attracts attention, best of all - with a false fireplace. But even if it is not there, it is appropriate to place the Christmas tree not far from the chest of drawers, the surface of which can also play along as a place for additional decorations (candles, gifts, photo frames, tinsel and others).

Stages of achieving desired results
Decorating the Christmas tree on the eve New Year's holidays that 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:
- 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.
- Given the fragility Christmas tree toys, it is recommended to start placing them from the top. This approach is especially relevant when choosing a tall Christmas tree.
- Using as New Year's decorations paper products, it is better to distribute them among the 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.
- The final chord in the decorative melody will be decorating the Christmas tree with artificial snow, rain, etc.
- 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:
- Chaotic placement of sparkling balls, combined with a circular order of application of garlands.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 will fit perfectly into the surrounding interior and will appeal to people who plan to celebrate the New Year at this particular 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. Will fit harmoniously into New Year's decoration in a classic style, old toys that remember grandma’s childhood. 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 spruce tree white, 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 dominance:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The magic of yellow-brown-green colors is only enhanced when combined with red and pink decorations.
- The harmony of white, green and silver will not be spoiled by some details in dark colors.
- 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.
- 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;
- lush bow of bright color;
- a toy corresponding to the zodiac sign;
- decoration in the form of a lush rain or garland;
- snowflake of appropriate size;
- the top is a traditional pointed shape.
In addition, for overall harmony, it would be nice to comply with the color scheme of the design, shape and style of other decorations.
