How to decorate a window with a garland for the New Year

One of the simplest and at the same time bright window design options for the New Year is to decorate the openings with a garland (or even several!).

With light bulbs

Glowing garlands look especially atmospheric: they will immediately create a festive atmosphere and will delight not only you, but also those who pass by your windows. This decor is suitable for any room, the only thing is to be careful in the nursery (especially if the child can reach the decorations on the window independently and without your knowledge). Usually the decoration is hung on the cornice, but you can put it around the perimeter of the opening, fixing it with double-sided tape, or attach it to curtains.

When choosing a garland, consider several factors:

Spruce

A completely different atmosphere is created by a coniferous garland. Artificial spruce paws will become a laconic decoration with a natural mood, and the real ones will also have an amazing natural flavor. If you want to decorate a window for the New Year with your own hands, make such a decor yourself, sequentially linking branches of spruce or fir with each other. You can leave them in their natural form or decorate them with cones, cinnamon, bows, balloons and any other thematic details. If you want to decorate your home quickly, a ready-made garland is easy to find in the store.

Depending on the configuration of the decoration, you can hang it over the window or let it go around the perimeter. In the first case, you will create a noticeable accent, in the second you will draw attention to the entire opening as a whole.

From fruits

In addition to pine needles, the citrus smell is strongly associated with New Year's holidays, largely due to the traditional tangerines for this period. But fruits can be used not only on the table, but to make a beautiful and eco-friendly garland out of them. It is best suited for decorating openings in Scandinavian, eco-style or minimalism, especially in the kitchen. Dried rings of oranges or tangerines (if you don't like citrus fruits, replace them with apples) can be diluted with small spruce twigs, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, cones, berries and other natural elements. It turns out very natural and stylish.

Paper figures

Another option for decorating paper is three-dimensional figures. The design, size, shape can be any, it all depends on your imagination.

The most popular paper products on the New Year theme are a Christmas star or a flower. This decor came to us from Scandinavian interiors, but, like many attributes of this style, it quickly caught on with us.

Paper figures have several advantages:

Paper for such decorations can be any: white, colored, craft, with or without a pattern. Sometimes, for greater strength, figures are made of cardboard. You can put a mini-garland with a power supply or any other autonomous light source inside, so you will get not just a beautiful decoration, but also a festive lamp that gives atmospheric muted illumination.

Stickers

If you don't like DIY decor or don't want to spend a lot of time decorating and then cleaning the window, you can use stickers instead of stencils.

It will take a few minutes to decorate the opening in this way: you just need to take the stickers out of the package, choose a place and glue them. Most often they are made of vinyl film. Stickers can be white, like stenciled paper, or colored; in the form of illustrations, realistic photo printing or with a 3D effect. They are suitable for application on both glass and plastic, so they can be pasted not only on the window itself, but also, for example, on the profile of double-glazed windows. After the holidays, it is enough to carefully remove them, there will be no dirty traces left.

Decorative composition

Finally, we must not forget that the opening consists not only of glass, but also of a window sill.

It is also possible and necessary to decorate it, and sometimes it will be the only decor at all (for example, if you then do not want to clean the window from stickers, artificial snow or scotch tape). Since the surface is narrow enough, it is better to place compact objects on it.

You can make a thematic composition from:

Two main rules when decorating a window sill: safety and convenience. It is important that children or animals (and you yourself) do not accidentally brush off jewelry, especially if the composition includes candles. Also consider the placement of jewelry so that they do not interfere with everyday life. For example, if the space under the window is used as a countertop, make sure that there is enough free space for everything you need.
