The main attribute of the holiday is the Christmas tree!

A charming New Year scent comes from it. Also under the festive tree made to put gifts.
Although the Christmas tree and the main element of the New Year's decor, attracting the eyes of guests, this does not mean that you need to hang on it all the toys in the house. Coniferous beauty overloaded with tinsel and balls will look ridiculous. It will look really stylish if you sustain the proportions of placement of all the elements of the decoration. The following invariable tricks will help to emphasize the merits of the festive tree in the New Year:
- Selection and installation of spruce. Christmas tree should be chosen based on the size of the room in which it will be. A lush, tall tree will look good only in a spacious room. You should not place it near the heating devices. It should be securely fixed at the base. A low tree can be put on a pedestal or table, pre-covering the furniture with a beautiful cloth or paper.
- A way to decorate. Decorating Christmas spruce must necessarily be combined with the interior of the room. Classic style accepts balls, caramel sticks, colorful rain. The European model includes only the same type toys of two, three colors, for example, yellow and lilac. Figures of fairy-tale characters, cones, feathers of strange birds correspond to American style. Scandinavian spruce is always in white, only natural materials are allowed.
- Color scheme. The right combination of colors should be observed throughout the decor of the room. Favorable colors - gold, silver and white. Do not make the spruce too motley. Correctly blending two colors will create a memorable discreet image. It is better to use techniques of monochrome, contrast, or related combinations.
- The decoration of the "principle of the pyramid." It is necessary to dress up the spruce, moving from the base to the top. The larger the decor element, the higher it should be located. Small children's crafts, snowflakes, candies, tangerines should be placed at the bottom so that the child can reach them freely. Greeting cards, beautiful rain, artificial frost, gingerbread houses can be placed on medium branches. In the upper part are placed large, but light balls, paper decor, amusing garlands.
- Top. Traditional jewelry - star or spire. In modern style, you can decorate the upper part of the tree with a bow, a figure of an angel.
Do not rush to put a living spruce in the middle of the room. A tree brought from the street should definitely get used to the temperature in the house. The best option is to wrap a log place with a wet rag and leave it for a few days in the corridor. The lower the temperature outside, the more time it takes the New Year's beauty to get used to and fluff.
