How to decorate the kitchen for the new year: a catalog of ideas with photos

Before the New Year, everyone is trying to decorate the room, the New Year's table, and put a beautiful Christmas tree. The kitchen remains undeservedly forgotten. And this is unfair. After all, the kitchen also wants a festive mood.

How can you decorate your kitchen space festively? Here are some ideas to help you show your imagination, make an old dream come true, or remember your childhood.

How to decorate your front door

The traditional colors of the New Year are red and green. So let's try to beat them. To start the New Year with the entrance, arrange the front door in the kitchen.

Hang a Christmas wreath on the door. It will not only decorate the entrance, but will also be a talisman against an evil spirit and a talisman for attracting happiness, money and good luck. This will be a sign of your hospitality and cordiality - the mood of the guests will improve from the doorway. They will see how happy and happy you are to celebrate the New Year together.

If you didn't have time to buy a ready-made wreath, you can make it yourself, involving your children in the manufacturing process, as well as in decorating your rooms and kitchens. Children love to do something, tinker together with adults. Listen to their fantasies and ideas, let them come up with and implement their ideas.

To make a wreath, you will need a few soft twigs or a skein of wire, some spruce cones, coniferous branches, tinsel, red bows.

You can use dried berries, Christmas tree decorations, put a talisman doll in the middle. It all depends on the flight of your imagination.

Decorate the doorway and perimeter with tinsel, rain, hang funny toys or glue snowflakes, ready-made pictures of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden or pictures about the New Year.

Do not attach pictures "to death" so that after the New Year you do not remove them with great difficulty and damage the surface.

Window decoration

The kitchen usually has one window. And, of course, it must be festively decorated. If possible, replace the curtains with curtains with New Year's symbols.

If not, then decorate the curtains with beautiful bows, snowflakes, sparkles, stars, etc. Attach New Year's pictures to the glass itself.

You can draw the symbol of the New Year with watercolors, stained glass paints (so that you can easily remove it later) or stick on ready-made posters. Hang a garland of flickering lights that change colors on the curtain or around the perimeter of the window.

It's a great idea to make Christmas-themed drawings quickly using a stencil, toothpaste and a brush. A stencil is taken, which is purchased or made by hand, is superimposed on the glass.

Dilute the paste slightly with water, periodically dip the brush into the solution and spray it onto the stencil. It turns out New Year's pictures, as if drawn with snow. This will add a touch of romance, mystery and magic. On the windowsill, if space permits, put a small Christmas tree. It can be a live spruce in a pot, an artificial one, or just an indoor flower with a strong trunk and branches.

Decorate your Christmas tree or flower with toys and tinsel. In a small kitchen, try not to overdo it with decoration, so as not to clutter up the space. In a large room, you can give free rein to imagination.

Arrange a fabulous town on the windowsill, put cotton wool on the surface, make a house, arrange animals, fabulous heroes and a symbol of the coming year.

Room decoration

Attach garlands with flashing lights or just a voluminous rain around the perimeter of the kitchen to the ceiling plinth. You can attach live coniferous branches to the mezzanine or artificial elements.

Buy fir oil and tangerine essential oil. Apply a few drops to the branches - the smell of the coming New Year is provided to you for a long time.

You can bake gingerbread cookies, hang them on ribbons around the kitchen. Such a fragrance spreads from him!

When decorating a space, one must remember that all suspended or placed objects do not interfere with the main functional actions in the kitchen - cooking.

In a large spacious kitchen, you can put another living Christmas tree and traditionally decorate it. Fill the space with helium balloons so they find their place under the ceiling.

We also decorate the doors of cabinets and nightstands, make drawings on glass and transparent parts. You can make a schematic image of a Christmas tree out of the rain.

Hang twigs or pine legs with artificial snow. Snow can be obtained in several ways:

1. Dissolve 1 kg of coarse salt in 1.5 liters of water, add food coloring to add color. Bring the solution to a boil, dip twigs or other blanks (homemade Christmas tree decorations, cones) in a container. Refrigerate for 5-6 hours.
2. Use Styrofoam that breaks down into small balls when pressed. Coat the prepared blanks with glue, then sprinkle with foam.
3. The contents of baby diapers are like artificial snow. Just take it out of the diapers and sprinkle it on the prepared place.

If you hang a thread through the whole kitchen, and on it small hanging threads 40-50 cm long, on which small pieces of cotton are strung, you get the feeling of falling snow.

We decorate the chandelier and lamps

The chandelier in the center can be made a central bright spot. Hang hanging toys, glowing ball with sparkles, decorate with rain. If the height of the ceilings allows, you can hang a small decorated herringbone.

Here you can show your imagination, come up with something of your own, but do not forget about fire safety techniques. Do not place jewelry close to light bulbs to avoid overheating and flashing.

Lamps are also decorated with red bows, hanging Christmas decorations, balls. Colored bulbs can be put into lighting devices.

Festive table setting

Table setting for the New Year is different from preparing for the usual arrival of guests. Usually, the accent is in the decoration of rooms, as already mentioned, red and green colors.

It is appropriate to use any other color schemes, as long as they are combined and in harmony with the interior colors and the design of the entire room. For the upcoming 2019 year of the yellow earthy pig, yellow and all its shades are relevant.

In the middle of the table, place a composition with candles, coniferous branches, toys, tinsel, cones. You can decorate it in the form of a wreath or put it in a beautiful dish made of glass, ceramics, put bright beautiful pebbles, beads.

Tie bright bows, rain, serpentine on glasses, put on plates with a festive applique or do-it-yourself, embroidered, painted napkins.

Choose dishes with a winter and New Year theme too. Colored or decorated candles with a composition of pine needles or simply on stands can be placed around the table.

The symbol of the New Year - a pig - should be present on the table in the form of a figurine. Put a small toy with her picture, wrapped in a festive golden wrapper, for each guest.

Fresh fruits, vegetables and natural juices will delight the hostess of the year. Be bolder in your fantasies, do not be afraid to experiment, come up with an unusual, interesting and memorable design.

Use all the recommendations, wishes, your ideas and celebrate the New Year of the Yellow Earth Pig cheerfully, fervently, with family and friends. Let him bring warmth, love and happiness to your home! Happy New Year 2019!
