Choosing new year’s decorations: what you need to know and tips

The patroness of 2025 according to the eastern calendar is the Green Wooden Snake, so the main color of the New Year’s decor this year will be green and its shades. Complement the main color with metallic shades of gold and silver to create an iridescent effect that resembles snake scales.

Use elements inspired by the appearance of the Snake in the decor: zigzags, waves or spirals. They can be present both in the forms of New Year’s toys and in patterns on textiles and in garlands that wrap around the New Year tree, imitating the movements of a snake. Natural materials (pine needles, twigs, moss) are welcome in the decor. They will complement the festive atmosphere and emphasize the connection of the symbol of the year with nature.

Use handmade ornaments in your decor

Home decor and design publication Homes & Gardens emphasizes that handmade ornaments add a unique, personal touch to Christmas decor and are ideal for passing down from generation to generation.

The main feature of handmade decor is its uniqueness. These are unique ornaments that reflect the taste and style of their creator. In addition, they bring warmth and soulfulness to the New Year’s decor. Make trendy bows from ribbons and decorate the Christmas tree with them, assemble a garland of fir branches for the mantelpiece or decorate the front door with an Advent wreath. You can decorate the windows with New Year’s vytinanki, and for the decor of the festive table, make a composition of candles, fir branches and pine cones.
