The last days of December are flying away rapidly and we are already on the eve of the New Year. Here are some helpful holiday design tips. A story about how to create a unique atmosphere and correspond to the year of the Fire Rooster

Rooster sign and color palette

Let's remember the characteristics of the rooster. This is a neat, strict bird, meticulous and meticulous about the surrounding details. Therefore, the main preparatory task will be a thorough cleaning, with getting rid of old things.

The rooster is handsome, therefore, we create a riot of colors. We give preference to bright and saturated colors. The spectrum is large enough, but be sure to use red, orange, yellow. Can be supplemented with burgundy, purple, coral, cherry. For any combination, feel free to use gold. This will be the right gesture to bring prosperity and happiness to your home.

Meeting 2017, you need to use less cold tones. It is difficult to do without them, so use them to a minimum, in small doses. Silver-blue "brush strokes" will be successful blotches in the bright red interior. In any case, try to choose a leading color and maintain its directionality. Avoid "bloating"!

How to decorate an apartment for the new year?

Do not forget about the main symbol - the rooster should be present in any embodiment: a figurine, a toy, a relief picture. The image of the main character is a prerequisite for arranging a festive atmosphere.

Almost everyone will have a tree. This is already the most remarkable element and no problem with it. The fashionable design of this tree symbol is the use of toys of the same color (balls, bows, pendants, cones, etc.). Also, sticking to contemporary styles, do the following: get toys of the same type, but different colors. Arrange it like a spiral, creating a visual tonal picture. Or designate the sectors with lush garlands and hang each of them with monochromatic balls of different colors.

Of course, the most difficult thing is the apartment. Every year I want to do something new. A great idea would be New Year's ikebana. Spruce, pine, fir branches or taken from the street from a bush / tree are perfect here. Dip them in glue, then in crushed foam or spread fluffed cotton wool on them. Tie in a bundle, straighten for volume and add a couple of toys, you can soft.

It is not difficult to update your New Year's arsenal with garlands of cones and acorns. The rooster will like natural products, so in the interior you can use bunches of rowan berries, ears, a good technique would be to use dried orange circles, lemon slices. Add more wicker or wood elements to the decor.

The rooster is active and straightforward, its nature requires simplicity. Therefore, the furnishings in the house must correspond to his temper. Don't be overly complicated and intricate - he won't appreciate it. To please the Rooster, your goal will be smart balance and simplicity. He is a poultry bird that loves his yard. He will not approve of your visit or to a restaurant - invite guests or stay at home to celebrate the New Year.

Window decor

Let's not talk about the illumination in the window opening. Let's consider simple things with the use of imagination. You don't need to buy anything, you just need white paper, scissors, soap and a knife with a sharp tip.

1. Come up with a picture for the selected window. For the Year of the Rooster, the best option would be images of the bird itself or winter-themed village landscapes. It is advisable to make a preliminary sketch. This will help match the aspect ratio of the image to the window area and the location of each detail.

2. Find stencils online or make your own. The paper for the "painting" elements should not be thick. Use a regular A4 writing sheet. After transferring the drawing to the paper, cut along the contour.

3. A knife will be needed to cut lines inside the drawing (windows in the house, flourishes of branches on the tree, etc.).

4. Lay out the finished elements in accordance with the sketch, now you can stick on the glass. Make a soapy solution, or use liquid soap. Start at the bottom, wetting / dipping paper in the solution. Remove soap residues with a clean cloth or tissue. You can fix it in another way: with pieces of transparent tape.

Despite the simplicity of character, the Rooster loves spectacular and bright outfits. Women are advised to give preference to bright dresses.

Formal suits, neat cut are suitable for men. The shirt, T-shirt, jumper must have the appropriate shades. Choose red, brown, yellow, burgundy. Show the main character that he is expected, respected and loved in this house! The Rooster will appreciate this, and the coming year will bring you happiness.
