New Year Decorating Tips
Decorating for a New Year outdoor party can transform your space into a festive wonderland. Follow these tips to maximize the charm and allure of your celebration.
Choose a Theme
A theme sets the tone for the evening and guides your decoration choices. You can choose from a range of themes, from a luxurious gold and silver ball to a lively and colorful party, depending on your personal style and the atmosphere you want to create. Our diverse range of options caters to both understated elegance and lively celebrations, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Create Elegant Tablescapes
Consider styling a tablescape when planning your outdoor New Year’s Eve celebration. A well-designed tablescape provides a functional dining area and enhances the overall look of your event. You can add small decorative touches such as place cards or themed napkin rings to make your guests feel special. Balsam Hill offers elegant tableware and centerpieces to create beautiful outdoor table decorations that match your party theme.
Light the Way
Lighting is crucial in setting the right outdoor party ambience for your space. To create a stunning visual impact, place lights strategically to highlight key areas such as the entrance, seating area, or pathways. Soft, warm lighting can help create a cozy and intimate atmosphere, while colorful, twinkling lights can add a playful touch. Keep in mind that lighting illuminates and enhances the mood, so use it to create focal points and add depth to your outdoor area.
Add Statement Pieces
Statement pieces are the showstoppers of your décor. Consider a grand wreath at the entrance or a life-size reindeer figure amidst your garden to draw attention and set the scene. Pair these with complementary smaller decorations to create a balanced look. Statement pieces should embody the essence of your theme and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Balance Your Décor Elements
A well-balanced décor creates harmony and flow in your space. Mix various elements like wreaths, garlands, and lights, but avoid cluttering. Consider the scale and color palette of your decorations to ensure they complement each other. A balance between ground-level décor like lanterns and overhead elements like string lights can create a dynamic and inviting space.
Prioritize Safety
Safety should always be a priority when decorating outdoors. Ensure all electrical connections are weatherproof and secure to prevent any hazards. Place decorations away from walkways to avoid tripping. Balsam Hill’s decorations are designed with safety in mind, but it’s important to take these extra precautions.
