How to decorate a Christmas tree for the coming of the Year of the Rat

A magical, fabulous, joyful New Year is just around the corner. With him are new hopes and dreams. I really want everything at home to be perfectly prepared for the New Year. Every third person on the eve of the celebration wonders how to decorate, in what colors, in order to please the future lady of the year, Rat. The coming year 2020 will belong to the metallic, white rat. As you know, she is for pomp, solemnity, and sophistication. Everything in the area needs to shine, flicker and burn with multi-colored lights; in no case should you apply the image of a “gray mouse” to it.

Rat colors are white, silver, gold, yellow, orange, caramel, red, cappuccino, chocolate, blue, green, beige, brown, mustard, coral, cream, purple. Choose one main color scheme that matches the interior, add accents to the second and add sparkle (gold or silver), depending on the combination of colors chosen.

Experiment by decorating the tree with rainbow colors. Start decorating the bottom with warm tones and finish the top with cool shades, according to the saying “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits.”

For calm, seasoned interiors, a white or silver beauty is suitable; place the Christmas tree in a wicker basket or wrap the pot in craft paper. Toys should also be selected in cool shades of blue, pearl and matching garlands. White twinkling lights and white bead decorations will add effortless elegance to your Christmas tree.

Remember your childhood, tell your children how the celebrations were held in Soviet times. Visit your grandparents, they probably still have toys from those times: glass pine cones, rockets, astronauts, squirrels and a red Soviet star on top of their heads. Candy and gingerbread will complete the look. You will get a wonderful retro-style Christmas tree.

Relive even earlier history of the “pre-revolutionary times”, but choosing toys will be more difficult. Angels, bronze toys, thick candles, use worn bells. Trinkets embroidered with glass beads, bows made of vintage lace (age the lace by dipping it in tea leaves).

In a minimalist style, a garland will be enough for the tree.

The exotic style is gaining popularity, where large decorative flowers are present in the decoration, make them from paper, satin ribbons. Complement such a tree with tropical butterflies, bird figures.

A tree decorated in eco style will be original. Decorated with chestnuts, pine cones, nuts, cinnamon sticks tied in bunches (with a tourniquet or ribbon), dried citrus fruits.

In recent years, food floristry has become popular. Decoration in the form of fruits, vegetables, gingerbread, sweets. Such a tree in the kitchen will be relevant for the next year of the rat, because it personifies thriftiness and thriftiness.

Live trees are a thing of the past, it's a pity to cut down trees every time. Give preference to coniferous trees in pots, which you will then plant in nature, on your site. Or artificial beauties, which are made in various colors.

It is also possible to make a wall panel from natural materials, laid out in a pyramid and decorated with the same toys and garlands.

The main thing is to celebrate this holiday joyfully and in a wonderful mood.
