New Year is always the expectation of something especially bright and joyful, the anticipation of not only a holiday, a feast, but also some kind of change, of course, preferably for the better. It is on the eve of the New Year that most often there is a desire to update something in the apartment – not just decorate the house by installing a Christmas tree and hanging garlands, but creating a new interior.

The first idea – rearrangement of furniture

Probably the easiest and, most importantly, completely free, albeit time-consuming, way to update a room’s interior. It is clear that in the kitchen, where the headset is installed literally “tightly” and the cabinets hang reliably in their places, you will not “turn around” much. But changing the sofa, armchairs and a slide in the living room is quite within the power of every homeowner. Perhaps, before the New Year, such a rearrangement will make room for the “forest beauty”, which will soon take a central position in the room..

Or maybe the new arrangement of furniture will be just more successful and convenient. In any case, the main goal – to make changes in the decor of the room – can be achieved without financial costs..

In addition, the designers are sure that a sofa, placed not against the wall, but at an interesting angle, for example, diagonally, is able to visually make a narrow room a little wider, so that with the help of a rearrangement, you can achieve an unexpected effect.

Swapping sofas and armchairs, moving a coffee table and changing the location of cabinets in a modular wall – it would seem, what could be easier? Meanwhile, this technique works, and the interior can often change beyond recognition.

Second idea – we take brushes and paints

Well, you say, but you said that we would not be engaged in repairs! Yes, repainting one of the walls is already an additional cost for the purchase of paints and brushes, and you will have to put in a little more work. However, painting will take no more than one day, you can and should just apply a layer of paint on wallpaper or plaster, and the interior will change quite a lot.

Designers advise highlighting only one of the walls with a bright color, and to make it a focal point, hang a picture here and install furniture. If you are confident in your talent as an artist, you do not need to repaint the entire wall – an unusual drawing can turn a boring room into an original room that surprises guests.

Such a cheerful sun on the ceiling made this little nursery play with new colors. Now it’s always sunny and warm here!

Exotic flowers literally “grew” on a plain wall. Beautiful, simple and very original

When repainting one of the walls, you should give preference to your favorite color, and if the household cannot come to a consensus, it is better to choose a different way to update the interior. If bright yellow or red annoys someone from family members, you will have to find a compromise

The third idea – we “change” the windows

It’s no secret that “bare” windows can ruin any, even the most attractive interior. And it is the new curtains, curtains and curtains that can give the room a completely new, very attractive look..

In addition, it is quite easy and simple – if you do not want to completely change the curtains, you can supplement the already hanging curtains with a lush lambrequin, replace annoying ordinary plastic blinds with thick Roman blinds in the kitchen, and so on..

We must not forget about such details as twisted cords, tassels, fringes. Of course, curtains with such decorations will not fit into every interior, but it’s worth trying.

Such unusual curtains will make the interior not only original, but also colorful, because it is in winter that there is a lack of bright colors and sunlight. Needlewomen can sew a lambrequin on their own, while the rest will have to turn to the masters. In any case, the costs will not be so great, and the effect is noticeable immediately

Really luxurious window framing – curtains with tassels and cords. Dense, soft, solid, they will make the interior warmer and more solemn. Of course, such lush curtains are best suited to an English-style interior or timeless classics.

The fourth idea – his majesty textiles

Even the most famous designer will not be able to create a truly cozy, homely and attractive interior without textiles. It is pillows, bedspreads, tablecloths that bring warmth, comfort and bright colors to the room..

It is great if you are fond of embroidery, crocheting, the creation of bedspreads and pillows in the “patchwork” patchwork technique and other types of needlework. In this case, there will be no problems with updating the interior at all, and unique handmade products will become the highlight of the room’s decoration and the pride of the owners..

And if embroidery and sewing are not your “strong point”, you will have to pick up ready-made textiles in the store. This is also quite an exciting activity, such products are not so expensive, and the interior will be updated in just five minutes.

A bright patchwork bedspread can be used not only to decorate the bedroom, but also in the living room, hiding an old sofa with a banal upholstery

This completely ordinary sofa with brown upholstery would look trite and uninteresting without a whole series of bright red pillows. And it became more comfortable to sit here, and the interior became brighter

Fifth idea – flowers

Indoor plants not only make the air in the room cleaner, but are also one of the most successful design elements. The greenery itself looks bright and fresh, in addition, flower pots, flowerpots, pots provide huge scope for the embodiment of the owners’ imaginations.

If there are no plants in your room yet, select the flower you like in the store and place it in a conspicuous place – on the nightstand near the sofa, for example. And if the plant is large and lush enough, you can put it right on the floor, decorating an empty corner. By the way, on New Year’s Eve a palm tree or ficus can turn into a Christmas tree, “bloom” with toys and garlands.

If flowers are already decorating your windows and walls of the room, you can experiment with the design of pots, purchase bright ceramic vases with paintings, feel like an artist and paint a flowerpot yourself, decorate it with applique work, and so on. Such flower vases cannot fail to attract attention, they are original and will play a significant role in updating the interior..

Don’t want to take care of the new “inhabitant” of the house and, in general, digging into the ground – this is not for you? Just pick up a beautiful vase and decorate it with a flower arrangement. Ikebana from dry plants will last for a very long time, but fresh flowers will, of course, have to be changed regularly. But we wanted change, didn’t we?

A lush flower in a spacious flowerpot has become one of the main design elements of the living room. Just remember to take care of it and regularly wash off the dust from the leaves.!

How can you pass by such a charming composition? For a beautiful vase, you can pick up no less attractive “neighbors” – candles, sea stones, dry autumn leaves, a tray of fruit and so on.

Sixth idea – let there be light!

Often it is the old lampshade of a boring lamp that gives out the main secret of the room – how long has it been overhauled. Lighting in a modern interior plays an important role, and in whatever style the room is decorated, you cannot do without floor lamps, sconces, chandeliers, and built-in point lights.

By replacing lamps, you can achieve the amazing effect of a new attractive interior. Do you have an empty corner near the sofa? Place a floor lamp with an unusual shade there, creating a cozy reading area. Does the wall look too plain and bare? A wall lamp, selected in accordance with the main design style, will become its main decoration. A solid chandelier can become the main highlight of the living room..

Delicate lampshades of these classic lamps against the background of a dark beige wall look especially bright and immediately catch the eye

The classic lush chandelier with candle-shaped lamps is perfectly matched to the rest of the interior

Seventh idea – carpet

Since we agreed that we will not make repairs, the only way to update not only the walls, but also the floor in the room is to buy a new carpet. Of course, if you have an exclusive parquet in your living room, then you shouldn’t hide such beauty, but ordinary laminate or linoleum needs a worthy “neighbor”.

With the help of a carpet, you can achieve two goals at once – firstly, by taking its place in the center of the room, it will not go unnoticed and immediately give the room a completely different look, and secondly, the carpet will highlight the communication or relaxation area.

In addition, it is in winter that it is so pleasant to step with bare feet not on the cold floor, but on the soft pile of a warm rug..

In the nursery, you simply cannot do without a carpet – kids love to play on the floor, so such a warm addition to the flooring will come in handy

Carpets can be used in any interior style. Just for high-tech, you should choose a solid color rug, for a country style – a bright, homespun, and for an English style – a carpet with a floral pattern

The eighth idea – paintings and mirrors

With the help of a mirror, you can visually expand the space, you just need to choose the right place for its location. Ideal if the mirror reflects a pleasant view or an interesting design element.

Pictures can be selected in accordance with the mood and tastes of the owners, before the New Year, for example, winter landscapes will look relevant. Bright still lifes are ideal for the kitchen, and soothing pictures in pastel colors for the bedroom..

If paintings are already decorating the walls of your room, you can update the interior simply by replacing the frames. In this case, you can also create a frame for the landscape yourself, painting a frame or creating an applique, or you can pick up finished products in a specialized store.

This mirror in an unusual frame hangs very well – it reflects the most attractive corner of the room with a fireplace

Select frames for paintings and the images themselves should also be in accordance with the chosen interior style. Lush wooden frames and copies of masterpieces by famous artists will fit the classic style, and for a modern room you can choose abstractions in laconic frames made of metal or glass

Idea # 9 – there are never too many photos

Nothing decorates a wall or tabletop like a photo of a radiantly smiling child. Photos in the interior are not only pleasing to the eye, but also improve the mood, recalling the joyful events of life.

When choosing frames and stands for photos, you should follow the same principles as when choosing paintings – a harmonious combination of these design elements and the style of the whole room will be the best proof of the good taste of the owners..

By the way, for a modern interior and high-tech style, you can purchase an electronic photo frame – the photos recorded on the flash drive will constantly change, each time bringing something new to the interior of the room.

It is not necessary to decorate the room with personal photographs – a beautiful landscape or an original image created by the hands of a master can simply transform a wall with boring wallpaper

Especially successful photos can be enlarged to a solid size and made the main accent of the interior. Just don’t forget – the photo must be really high quality.

The tenth idea – we share our passion

Do you collect porcelain figurines from the USSR era? Soft pink elephants? Beer mugs? Terrifying African masks? Figures of frogs, cats, dogs and other animals? Painted plates? Do you embroider with beads or a cross? There is no need to hide all this beauty in a closet or in a drawer, put it on public display by highlighting a shelf in the open slide of the living room or by hanging a special stand on a wall that was empty before.

You can play with the arrangement of objects – place statuettes in groups of three or four figures, place collection items according to their status and importance. Afraid that such a jumble of objects will turn a room into a museum? You can leave only the most attractive figures or dishes in sight, and remove the rest to their original place..

Even a collection of wine corks can look beautiful if designed correctly and imaginatively.!

By the way, you can collect anything – from seashells to unusual glasses and antique dishes. And such a collection definitely deserves to take its place in the interior.

How exactly to update the interior is up to you, of course. You can embody several ideas proposed here at once in your home, or you can even get by with a general cleaning and a small Christmas tree. The main thing is that the expectation of the most desired and joyful holiday in the year already in itself turns into pleasure, the anticipation of a change for the better and a real miracle!
