According to popular belief, you need to celebrate the Year of the Pig in beige, brown and green colors, adding a little red and gold to them.

When choosing a tablecloth and table decorations, focus on natural materials and accessories: cotton, linen, pine cones and fir branches, natural wax candles.

Selection of cookware

The key to a beautiful presentation is well-chosen dishes. And the New Year is a good reason to update the old set and start a pleasant tradition of setting the table beautifully every day.

New Year's table setting

When purchasing a set, you should take into account the size of your table. When arranging appliances, provide enough space for each person so that guests do not jostle with elbows.

A few rules for arranging dishes:

• the central place is occupied by a decorative plate;
• a plate for an appetizer and/or a soup plate is placed on it;
• the bread plate is placed to the left of the decorative plate;
• forks on the left side;
• knives on the right side, blade towards the plate;
• dessert spoon over the plate;
• glasses to the right of the plate.

Don't forget to prepare a champagne glass.

Classic design

Using spruce branches

Fans of classic and scandi style are advised to take a closer look at decorating the table with fir branches.

Try attaching a large spruce branch to the ceiling. At the same time, you should not try to hold it on unnoticeable thin threads: use twine, knit bulky knots, create a feeling of negligence. Decorate the branch with toys on long cords, let them almost reach the table.

Make sure that the branch is freshly cut; needles are not the best seasoning for champagne.

Or place fir branches directly on the table. They look good on a wooden surface or on a fabric tablecloth.

The simplest, but very atmospheric option: thread a small twig under the ribbon holding the rolled fabric napkin together.

Candles and candlesticks

When choosing decor, do not be afraid to experiment: no one forbids combining candles in massive copper candlesticks with candles in glasses, decorative stands, or simply placing them on the table.

If you have candles but no beautiful stands, try placing them on a wide dish. This will prevent you from scratching the table when scraping off the wax and ruining the tablecloth.

Another way to create a beautiful design: fill a small aquarium with moss, yarrow and secure long candles in the corners. The yarrow theme can be used when decorating napkins and the apartment in general.

New Year's table in various styles

For some, gloss is more important in table setting, for others - asceticism, for others - originality. When thinking about how to beautifully decorate a table for the New Year, it is not at all necessary to reduce everything to hackneyed stereotypes. Keeping this in mind, you can choose absolutely any way to serve the holiday table, so we give completely different examples - what if one of them suggests the desired direction of thought?

Minimalism

If the home is decorated in a laconic, simple style of minimalism, then you can set a festive New Year's table to match it. Otherwise, in a luxurious setting, such a table setting will seem hasty and poor, as if the table was set for a fleeting snack.

Minimalism is characterized by black and white colors, which should be diluted with gray linen napkins, silverware, green branches and candles of any size. Here you can do without decor at all.

Scandinavian style

As for the Scandinavian style, it seems more homely and not as ascetic as minimalism. It is appropriate to combine the dominant white color with blue, red, pink, gold, ceramics and natural wood.

You can place carved wooden and bone figurines on the table, and fluffy fur capes on the chairs.

Country

Positive and bright, the rustic style actively uses the favorite Christmas colors - red, white and green. The red and white color scheme dominates: napkins, tablecloth, cutlery, greeting cards, boxes with Christmas surprises.

When a country-style decoration is chosen for setting the New Year's table, decorations in the form of fir branches and cones, bunches of red berries, and lollipop sticks just beg to be served. They can be grouped near each device or in the center of the table, or placed on a napkin knitted with large loops or a wooden board in the form of a separate composition.

Large white candles without any frills come in handy here.

A softer and more homey option:

• White or discreet checkered tablecloth.
• Linen napkins combined with the cold sparkle of white plates and glasses without any gilding.
• Carved figurines of deer lurk near wooden snack boards and ceramic dishes.
• And to seem even closer to nature, you need to put a green branch between the dishes, throw a few bright tassels of ripe rowan here and there on the table, and place candlesticks with white candles.

Eco style

This style is in many ways reminiscent of Scandinavian. Preference is given to white color with elements of grassy green, surrounded by wood, dried flowers and living plants.

Lay a tablecloth made of natural fabric on the table, as well as napkins, use straw or wooden coasters for plates, and linen runners on the floor.

Decorations made from gingerbread, dried fruits, tangerines, nuts; use simple twine for bandaging.

Boho chic

A bright, spectacular, beautiful table setting for the New Year can be made in a boho-chic style. He widely uses hand-made elements that express the author’s imagination, for example, tablecloths, runners, and napkins knitted using the macrame or crocheted technique.

Here it is quite acceptable to mix dishes from different sets, the main thing is that it is bright and has non-standard shapes. It's a good idea to display retro shot glasses and squat shot glasses made of stamped crystal on the table, which will stand up to the proud, elegant tall wine glasses.

You can decorate the table with handmade or fresh flowers, compositions of dried flowers and fir branches, and original covers for cutlery. It’s good if there is an original chandelier on the ceiling, you can also hang “dream catchers” low above the table.

A combination of textiles and natural wood is welcome, and the color scheme should correspond to the symbol of the coming year.

Rustic

You can decorate the New Year's table with your own hands in a rough rustic style:

• brutal simplicity, abundance of untreated wood;
• coarse natural fabrics (unbleached linen, burlap);
• embroidery in folk lubok style.

Place simple cutlery, large glasses, simple glasses, small metal accessories on the table, place candles in jars.

All this should imitate ancient life, a medieval tavern or a forest hermit's hut, which will add a romantic twist to the New Year's party.

Glamorous

A glamorous festive table setting for the New Year means pretentious shapes, an abundance of gilding, transparent glasses on thin legs, and pretentiously packaged cutlery.

Personalized places are needed here, and an elegant gift should be placed on the guest plates.

A vase with multi-colored Christmas balls, sparkles, tinsel, sparkling deer figurines, intricate candelabra, carved snowflakes - everything should have a claim to splendor.

Color range

Good taste requires that everything - the New Year's colors, the table, the decor - match each other. What are the winning combinations here? Most often, the dominant color of the New Year's celebration is red, which goes well with silver, gray, white, gold, but most importantly with green, which is also the main New Year's color. With this color scheme the table will instantly transform. However, everyone is free to choose their favorite color as the dominant one, but then care should be taken that additional colors look harmonious with it.

Red and gold

For those who want to celebrate the next New Year with special chic and grandeur, the combination of bright flames and shining gold, which can best demonstrate festive luxury, will be interesting.

If you place golden-colored Christmas tree balls on a table, the reflections of the garlands will be reflected in their sides, creating the feeling of fireworks. Red pine cones with gilding, golden splashes of champagne, shiny golden ribbons on napkins, golden chocolate medals scattered on a red tablecloth - a great many such ideas can come to mind if you plan to set the New Year's table at home. You can order designer rings for napkins; craftsmen will quickly weave them from beads.

To decorate the festive table, many sparkling attributes can be made from golden ribbons or beads. You can also buy thin copper or special wire for crafts, a string of red and golden beads (it doesn’t matter whether it’s costume jewelry or beads for the Christmas tree). These beads need to be strung on a wire, and then bent in arbitrary directions to form something like branches of different shapes. This decoration can be mixed with spruce branches on a festive table, add a few bright ribbons and large Christmas tree balls.

Red with green

The combination of green and red colors is classic for the New Year. The first signifies the color of the Christmas tree, and the second signifies the color of Father Frost's robe and his mysterious bag of gifts. Therefore, for setting the New Year's table, it would be very appropriate to resort to this bright pair.

It is worth recognizing that ordinary spruce needles are somewhat dark for decoration, but they can be replaced with lighter shades of fir branches or other evergreens.

An excellent decor would be New Year's table decorations in the form of original Christmas trees with cardboard or foam cones at the base, which can be given any desired shade of green.

You can also get a red-green palette on the table by combining red and green cutlery. For example, add green napkins and the same decorations (beads, Christmas tree decorations, etc.) to red plates. On the table in transparent vases you can place white candles floating among scarlet cranberries and green spruce branches.

Red with white

Red dishes in the household are not at all common, because, as a rule, people buy white plates. Therefore, when you are setting the New Year's table at home, it is easier to combine snow-white dishes with red paraphernalia: candles, napkins, Christmas tree balls.

You can scatter red beads, stars and snowflakes cut out of red paper on the table (or rather on the snow-white tablecloth).

The dull, monotonous look of a white tablecloth can be greatly enlivened by laying a strip of red fabric in the center of the table. Against this red background, white snowflakes and stars will already look bright, and some of them can be discreetly hemmed to the canvas, then they will not fall off even on the hanging part of the tablecloth.

For white plates, you can purchase red felt backings or cut them out yourself. On sale you can find square felt with sides of 30 cm; it can be processed with a regular office hole punch, making holes and giving it an openwork pattern. You can also cut it into a circle or heart shape.

Serving the holiday table with snowmen is a wonderful idea. You will need two plates of different sizes needed to depict a snowman. His eyes and buttons can be lined with olives, his nose with orange peppers or carrots, his scarf can be made from a red napkin, his hat can be made from black paper.

White with gold

The combination of white and gold is a chic option for decorating a New Year's celebration. It is better to choose not a rich golden shade that tends to bronze, but a lighter one that forms a smooth transition with snow-white dishes, tablecloths and other white paraphernalia present on the table.

It’s not difficult to look for simple solutions, they are everywhere, so everyone will conquer the New Year’s table setting with their own hands. So, you can tie white candles with a gold ribbon, cover the cones with nail polish and then sprinkle them with glitter, and purchase Christmas tree decorations in the store (stars, balls, angels, boots, golden garland). Using golden spray paint from a can, you can transform the appearance of various nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts), as well as wooden snowflakes made from ice cream sticks, pine cones, and shells.

Having bought golden paper, you can make flowers from it. Moreover, knowing the technique of creating such voluminous flowers, even a five-year-old child can cope with this simple work.

You can cut out a cardboard circle from a box and use decorative material (rhinestones, ribbons, gold paper, beads) to build a large clock dial showing the last minutes of the outgoing year. Such a watch will become a romantic decoration for the New Year's table.

Silver with lilac

DIY New Year's table setting can be inspired by observing the charm of frosty sunny weather, when the rays of the sun shimmer in intricate frosty patterns on the windows, flashing with bright sparks. Such a play of light and play of colors can inspire a special festive table setting.

A white tablecloth and dishes would be most appropriate here. But it is advisable to choose napkins in a light gray color, reminiscent of a winter dawn.

Apples, candles, and cones can be painted with silver spray paint with a slight lilac tint. Buy more beads of light lilac color and pour them into cups with candles. There should be a lot of items made of colorless transparent glass on the table, which will bring a feeling of freshness and a frosty morning.

From a plastic folder for papers, using stencils downloaded from the Internet, you can cut out New Year's silhouettes of a Christmas tree, a snowman, etc. They should then be placed on the table, stuck into soft marshmallow slices for stability. Some of the transparent figures can be treated with nail polish and sprinkled with lilac glitter.

Also, especially as a New Year's table decoration, you can buy a hair clip with a lilac rose, which you can attach to the rest of the composition. In the sewing accessories departments you can find ribbons and braid of the desired color, beautiful rhinestones. These accessories can be scattered on the table among a cloud of snow made of bird fluff, on which you can put a boa, sold in the same store.

The whole life around us is filled with ideas for setting the New Year's table. You just need to be more attentive, take a closer look, choose a color palette and then, while shopping, look for suitable items for the chosen style of table decoration, and buy them right away.

Silver with blue

The same white dishes can serve for a different serving arrangement, a real winter frosty fairy tale. To do this, you need to find a place on the table for transparent glass ice cubes, silver and blue details, decorative crystals, glossy gray bugle beads and rhinestones in white and blue cold shades.

Place large long candles in tall glasses, and fill the space between the wall of the glass and the candle with sparkles, beads, and fragments of “ice” (from an old laser disc cut into pieces). You can get cheap filler here like this: cut off the fluffy tinsel with scissors, and pour the resulting fine shiny cuts into a glass with a candle.

You can buy a can of silver paint, break a few thin branches from birch trees, dry them at home and paint them. These branches, as if silvered with frost, are then beautifully laid on a wide dish, Christmas balls are laid out among them and candles are placed. Scatter faceted beads on the table, which are sold inexpensively in craft stores.

Game of colors

Table setting for the New Year does not necessarily have to rely on classic colors and their combinations; to decorate it, you can resort to unexpected colors.

Why not try bright spring colors that are more associated with Maslenitsa than New Year? You need to take bright gouache, dilute it in half with PVA glue in a wide glass or bowl, and dip the cones into this bath one at a time, then take them out, let the excess paint drip off and hang them on strings to dry. It turns out to be almost free decoration.

In a flower shop you can buy flowers of the desired shades, forming them into a composition for the New Year's table. This solution goes especially well with dwellings decorated in a cool, modern high-tech style. You can add a couple more colors here, for example, soft blue and pistachio. They can be combined in different ways and added to compositions to decorate the holiday table.

The New Year's interior should be perfect in every way. This applies not only to the Christmas tree and decor. You need to think carefully about decorating the table and setting it beautifully. Today we decided to figure out how to do it correctly.

1. Accuracy in details

To make a good impression on your family and guests, you need to set the table as carefully as possible. The tablecloth should be clean, ironed and preferably starched. Glasses, plates and cutlery should shine and stand in their place. Also, do not overload the table with decor; you can limit yourself to a few elements, for example, spruce branches or cinnamon sticks, or create one main composition that will serve as the main decoration of the New Year's table.

2. Harmonious combinations

Dishes, tablecloths, napkins, glassware and decor should have similarities in color, pattern or style. You can decorate the table in white tones and break up the monotony with splashes of gold, red, green or blue. Colorful elements can be Christmas tree balls neatly folded in transparent vessels, candles in beautiful candlesticks or napkins.

3. Tablecloth and napkins

For a festive New Year's table, it is better to choose a fabric tablecloth and napkins. The tablecloth should be large enough to hang over the table by at least another 20 centimeters, and the maximum length of the hanging edges should be 40 centimeters. Its color should not take much attention. Most often, white and silver tablecloths are chosen for the New Year's table, less often - green, purple and red.

4. Proper serving

On the eve of the New Year, many housewives have a question about how to properly arrange dishes and dishes. The answers are not at all complicated:
Earthenware or porcelain dishes are placed on the table first, then cutlery and glasses.
There should be fruits in the center of the table, and near them large dishes with meat and fish.
Salad bowls are placed on the sides of the main courses, and dishes with appetizers and cuts are freely placed around the table so that guests can freely take what they want.
Don’t forget about cutlery for your dishes to avoid embarrassment at the New Year’s table.

Serving begins with the tablecloth. A universal and therefore win-win option for serving a festive table is a white tablecloth. A white tablecloth is good in any situation - both for a family dinner and for a wedding.

Tables with tablecloths that are not snow-white, but cream, even light beige, look very beautiful. For a wedding, of course, it is better to give preference to a light tablecloth. For Christmas, anniversary, New Year and other holidays, you can use a tablecloth of absolutely any color.

If you plan to use white and transparent dishes, then it is better to choose a white or cream tablecloth. If the dishes are colored, you need to choose a tablecloth of a color that matches the color of the dishes. It is not at all necessary that they be the same color - it is only important to take into account the rules of color compatibility (for example, orange usually does not harmonize well with gray-blue, but often goes well with sand and yellow-green). Combine warm tones with warm and cool tones with cool. Don’t forget about the runner and naperon (top tablecloth) - they will decorate the table and help create the necessary color accents.

Thematic table decoration

Summer

First you need to choose a serving style or theme and holiday table decor. So, for example, you can make a “summer” table using a soft green tablecloth (green field) and yellow, red, orange or even lilac or blue dishes (flowers). In this case, the table can be decorated with wildflowers. Flowered napkins can also be used. But a completely green table (green tablecloth and dishes of the same color) will look boring and even “stressful.”

When creating a summer table, you can take yellow (the color of the sun) as a basis, combining it with white or blue (a blue tablecloth and a white table top are like the sky with a cloud, yellow plates are a symbol of the sun).

Sea serving is also considered summer. IN festive table decor in a marine style, the predominant combination is usually white with blue or other shades of blue. Textiles with white and blue stripes, marine accessories (for example, vases or bowls in the shape of a shell), and wavy lines are often used.

Autumn

If you want to serve an “autumn table,” you can choose an orange tablecloth and use dishes in one of the shades of red. The table should be decorated with floral arrangements of dried autumn leaves and twigs with lingonberries.

Winter

To decorate the “winter table”, use white and various shades of blue (blue), dilute the combination with transparent dishes (association with ice). You can decorate the table with candles in the shape of icicles, cones “in the snow,” and colored ice cubes.

Spring

Spring table setting is dominated by a delicate green color – the color of nature’s rebirth. The decor often uses motifs of the return of birds - napkins with images of birds, mini-figurines, decorative nests with eggs, etc. By the way, these same bird motifs should be adopted when setting the Easter table. By the way, festive table setting for Easter it allows for multi-colors (tones are usually pastel) - you can simultaneously combine pink, light green, blue, yellow and other colors when decorating, but they should not be too saturated, much less flashy.

Love

Spectacular festive table setting with a combination of red and white colors (this combination in serving and in the interior is called royal). The red and white design can be used for table settings for a wedding anniversary or for Valentine's Day, which is a holiday associated with love. Place some confetti or rose petals on the tablecloth in the middle of the table.

To make the combination more interesting, you can add another color - black (modern style table) or, for example, chocolate (a “delicious” combination a la “cream with strawberries and chocolate”). In general, white can be combined with any color - it will always be bright.

Women's theme

Serving festive table on the Eighth of March, you can use a combination of white and pink. Cover the table with a white or pale pink tablecloth. The dishes can be white or juicy pink. Place transparent vases or bowls filled with rose petals around the table. In the center of the table is a large bouquet of pink roses. Fabric napkins that match the color of the tablecloth can be tied with a satin ribbon and tied with a bow: for white napkins, take a pink ribbon, for pink ones, a white one.

New Year, Christmas

A Christmas or New Year's table can be pretentiously solemn - accordingly, white, cream, and champagne colors can be used in the decoration. Crystal is required, the edges of which will refract the light from the flashing lights of the garland.

However, another option is also possible festive table setting, in which traditional New Year and Christmas elements will be taken as a basis: a Christmas tree, Christmas tree decorations, Santa Claus. The tablecloth can be white (snow) or green (Christmas tree). Tie the stems of the glasses with a red or green ribbon. You can place coasters made of cardboard or fabric under the plates and glasses (on a white tablecloth - green coasters and white dishes, on a green tablecloth - white coasters and green dishes). On the table, next to each personal set of dishes, you can lay out a pair of identical Christmas tree balls tied with ribbon. Of course, candles are needed on the New Year's table. You can sprinkle confetti on the tablecloth.

What is the main thing about the New Year holidays? Not gifts and not a Christmas tree. And not even champagne. The main thing is the mood of miracle and magic. It is best “caught” in preparations, which in themselves are already part of the holiday and New Year’s magic.

We are in website We have collected simple and cute ideas for you that will help you create the mood and turn the New Year's Eve into a real holiday for your family and guests.

Christmas tree napkins

Delicate greenery and garlands of light bulbs

A gentle and romantic mood will be created by coniferous plants in small pots or sprigs of gypsophila (all can be bought inexpensively at a flower shop) and a garland of large light bulbs.

Serving in the form of snowmen

Using plates, cutlery, a piece of carrot, olives and colored napkins, you can build a cute snowman in front of each guest.

Fir branches

Spruce, fir or juniper branches placed in the center of the table and decorated with candles are stylish and fragrant. By the way, as an alternative to candles, you can intertwine spruce branches with a luminous Christmas tree garland.

Apple candles

Paper snowflakes and candles in the snow

Another great idea is to place paper snowflakes on the table, complementing them with candles and pine cones. Please note: candles and cones are in jars with coarse salt, as if in snow. By the way, you can go even further and make a tablecloth out of snowflakes, fastening them together with small pieces of tape. Not very practical, but for one evening, to create a snowy-magical mood, it’s just right.

Personalized glasses with New Year's balls

If you have guests over for dinner, it would be great to make festive personalized glasses for them - it seems like a small thing, but it’s nice. To do this, you need to cut out multi-colored Christmas tree balls with a slot from cardboard and write the guest’s name on each one.

List of New Year's entertainment

In the photo there is an idea for a children's party, but it is quite possible to transfer it to an adult party by drawing a list in front of each of the guests: write a wish on a piece of paper and eat it while the chimes are striking, dance on the table or tell Santa Claus a joke from a stool.

Glasses and balls

Why not bring together the symbols of the New Year - candles, balls and glasses, of course - and make bright, sparkling and iridescent candlesticks? In addition, the work here is about 2 minutes. And how cozy it will be to sit in this circle of warm flickering if you dim the overhead light in the room.

Candles and candlesticks of all shapes and sizes

What better way to create a New Year's mood than making a candlestick for the holiday table with your own hands?

• The “clothes” for the candles in the top left photo can be made from old sweaters (or specially knitted).
• Floating candles look incredibly impressive in a dark room - frozen cranberries and sprigs from the flower shop will help you.
• For the candle at the bottom left, I used a sheet from a music book, but you can take a beautiful magazine page or cardboard with a pattern and paste it over the jar.
• Red and green are the colors of New Year and Christmas, and cranberries with fir branches will look very elegant.

Christmas trees

Multi-colored Christmas trees are a fun and elegant idea for table decoration. Such a grove can be made from cones of wrapping paper or assembled from truffle candies and toothpicks, to which triangles of cardboard or colored paper with a pattern (or just green ones) are attached with tape.

Cookies

To decorate the table, you can put on each guest’s plate a personalized cookie in the shape of a heart, a Christmas tree and a Christmas ball with the initial letter of his name.

Cute little things

Sometimes a detail is enough to create a mood. For example, a paper snowflake on the edge of a glass or an ice fortress made from pieces of sugar.

Orange decorations

Oranges and cloves will fill your home with a fresh and spicy aroma, and this combination of orange and brown looks very beautiful. You can simply decorate the oranges with clove stars that can be easily stuck into the skin. Or you can make candlesticks, like in the bottom photo. They are not difficult to make - first you need to cut the orange peel in half and carefully remove both halves with a spoon. For a detailed guide with photos, see this
