What rules should be followed when decorating a children’s room for the New Year

The main task in the design of a children’s room is to create a delightful, festive atmosphere. However, do not forget that there is a small curious child in the room who will be happy to try beautiful decorations for durability, taste and indestructibility.

Even if the kids have already grown up, their activity has not decreased at all. On the contrary, a child of 6-10 years has much more opportunities for injury. That is why when choosing materials and decorative elements, it is necessary to think about safety.

• Garlands, hanging parts that can cause harm, should be suspended to such a height that the child cannot reach them. The exception is products made of paper, plastic, foam.

• A natural Christmas tree can be replaced with an artificial one, made of hypoallergenic materials, which does not crumble, does not emit resins and odors from which allergies may occur.

• Christmas tree is installed closer to the wall, in a corner, so that it does not interfere with free movement.
• If the child is very small, it is necessary to protect the Christmas tree with a decorative fence, put it on a chest of drawers or a table, or prefer wall decoration – stickers, paint painting, a Christmas tree made of paper or tinsel.
• It is better to replace glass toys with durable plastic ones, sewn from fabric, knitted, felted. Also, use cardboard, foil and paper to make jewelry with your own hands.

• There should be no small, sharp details in the baby’s room. New Year’s compositions consist of fairly large figurines or figurines, soft toys. Or they lift them on the table, window sill, hanging shelves.
• It is better to replace electric garlands with products made of tinsel, paper, fabric. If the child is big enough and understands the danger of electricity, then the garland must be carefully checked for operability and safety.
• An excellent place for hanging decor is an interior door. Usually colorful posters, Christmas wreaths, fairy-tale characters in the form of stickers, paper figures are attached to it.

The style and type of jewelry can be absolutely any, if they do not cause inconvenience and are combined with the rest of the decor.

If you want to give your child a New Year’s surprise, you can prepare all the decor elements in advance, and decorate the room when he falls asleep, or will be in kindergarten, school. However, do not forget that decorating the room for the holiday gives children the greatest joy.

It is considered that all shades of blue and light blue are more suitable for boys. Indeed, these colors are perfectly combined with the Christmas theme, silver snowflakes and frost. However, you should not give up on brighter or muted details. The blue can be diluted with bright red and orange, gold details, combined with white or beige. Or completely abandon the stereotypes, and choose silver-green, light green-gold or red-white tones.

As a Christmas and New Year decor for the boys’ room, you can use:

• favorite movie and cartoon characters;
• traditional snowmen, gnomes, santa claus, reindeer;
• toys adored by a child – boats, cars, soldiers, drums or planes, rockets;
• garlands of flags, snowflakes, “snow” balls;
• LED garlands and night lights in New Year’s performance.

Instead of a Christmas tree on the wall, you can fix horizontal sticks, fir branches or a garland. A stylized Christmas tree made of tinsel of different colors or Christmas tree toys looks beautiful.

How to decorate a room for a baby for the New Year

For young children, any bright objects and drawings that differ from everyday toys are interesting. However, it should be borne in mind that kids do not perceive abstractions well, so all elements should be recognizable. So, instead of the usual electric garlands and tinsel, it is better to use animal figures, snowmen, cartoon characters, as well as their images.

• Instead of dangerous glass and hard plastic, paper, thread, yarn are used to create toys. They are cut out or glued together, sewn from fabric, tied up. And even baked in the form of curly cookies, gingerbread.
• Images of fabulous creatures can be printed on a color printer or cut from suitable magazines. Paste on the curly bases of thick cardboard, making interesting posters or garlands.
• The baby’s favorite toys also need decorations. They can be equipped with knitted or sewn caps with bells, dressed in festive costumes or raincoats made of shiny fabric, decorated with medallions depicting Christmas trees, tangerines, sweets, winter forest.
• Instead of a Christmas tree, it is better to install a three-dimensional structure sewn from felt or any other fabric, with soft toys. Or paint the wall, stick ready-made stickers in a suitable theme.

In areas inaccessible to a child, you can install more “adult” elements – solid figures of deer, bunnies and Santa Claus, bright compositions of forest cones, cranberries or mountain ash, shiny balls and beads. If it is still decided to install a Christmas tree in the nursery, then it must be fenced with a fence with bright posters or fairy-tale characters pasted on.
