Interior designers offer 5 win-win color combinations and countless ideas for decorating your home and festive table for the New Year.
If you want your interior to become truly elegant on holidays, add at least a little gold to it.
It is known that a large amount of gold is present in the interiors of the Baroque, Empire and Art Deco. This is all true. But gold accessories, details, ornaments feel great in a modern setting. And gilded dishes of laconic forms will be a wonderful decoration for any table. You can choose any color as a background, but the combination of gold and white looks especially solemn. This is the solution the designer preferred for setting the Christmas table and decorating this living room.
The style of the interior can be called classic: white walls and arched openings with stucco cornices and borders, a strict form fireplace portal, a massive board on the floor, an elegant crystal chandelier. From another era, only chairs migrated here.
Our example proves that you don’t need to buy a Christmas tree either. It is enough to bring the skeleton of a dried tree from the forest, put it in a beautiful vase, tie the cups with ribbons … Isn’t it beautiful?
It is known that the red color is very active, which means that in large quantities it can quickly tire not only the hosts, but also the guests. Therefore, the designer uses it carefully. One wall is painted in red, plus it is present in the form of accessories: decorative pillows, tablecloths, Christmas tree decorations. The main load is assigned to the white color. And yet a painting in red and white would leave a feeling of incompleteness, if not for one more color, no less traditional for the New Year’s holiday – green. Holly and mint sprigs pleasantly enliven the table setting, and spruce branches serve as an elegant addition to the table setting.
With such a contrasting combination of colors chosen for decorating the living room, it is better not to complicate the serving. White ceramic or porcelain plates, transparent glasses are a simple, but most suitable solution.
Few coloristic solutions can be compared in romance with a duet of white and blue. Moreover, the designer not only deliberately emphasized this feature of the chosen combination, but also strengthened it as much as possible by adding country-style accessories. Some of them were specially made. For example, the chair covers were sewn from unbleached linen and adorned with a wide floral braid. The same materials were used to make decorative pillow cases. Even Christmas tree decorations – large silver balls with a lace pattern – have been matched to the theme.
Any Christmas tree toy can decorate a stack of plates, say, a transparent ball or a snow-covered Christmas tree. A good support for this decorative element will be a matching paper or silk ribbon.
The optimal coloristic solution for a holiday with the family will be a combination of white and red. These colors are traditional for Catholic Christmas. In addition, white and red go well with yellow, which is painted on the walls of the dining room.
If we talk about table setting, the designer suggests opting for transparent glass and white ceramics. Glasses for wine and champagne are required, as well as several plates of different diameters, for example, for appetizers, main course and dessert. The design elements can be candlesticks, napkins with a New Year’s pattern and … various Christmas tree decorations.
To many, such a coloristic decision will probably seem too bold. However, black color, namely, it sets the tone in this living-dining room, has long become a full-fledged element of the palette of Christmas tree decorations and other attributes of the New Year’s holiday. In addition, white is usually offered as a companion to him, and with such a tandem, you see, there is little that compares to the solemnity and theatricality of the created effect. However, if you decide to use black and white, you should not be too zealous with the use of dark paint. Even if there is no problem with natural light indoors. See how our designer carefully introduces it into the interior. Only the walls in the rooms are black, plus a very small amount of decor items.
This living-dining room has acquired warmth and coziness due to the furnishings chosen by the designer. All of them are made of light natural wood. And it is also used as a floor covering.
