What colors to choose
The year 2019 of the Earth Pig will be replaced by the year 2020 of the White Metal Rat, which dictates its own color palette. The most preferred color scheme for table setting will be a snow-white color of the tablecloth and objects. Traditionally, tablecloths were made from linen and cotton materials, hence the popularity of white. But with the advent of new technologies, color variations have expanded significantly.
It is also appropriate to use shades close to white, but with subtle color notes:
- ivory or ivory - a creamy shade with a yellowish undertone;
- milky - a shade of white, softer than snow-white, but less dark than ivory;
- pearl - with silver-gray notes;
- the color of the ice is a slightly bluish tint;
- pale pink - a nude shade of a warm tone.
How to decorate
Designers offer countless variations of New Year's table decoration. Most of them do not require global financial costs, but they will create a wonderful New Year mood.
With the right decor, candles will create a feeling of warmth, mystery and homeliness. There should not be too many candles, they should be chosen based on the level of illumination of the table, its size and serving characteristics. It is better to choose candles in white, silver and light gold tones, because these are the colors that the upcoming mistress of the year, the White Rat, prefers.
The Rat will not be delighted with candles of flashy and bright colors, such as red, blue or green. Arrange the candles in wooden, silver or glass candlesticks according to the style of table decoration chosen. There are whole New Year's compositions on sale with a special place for installing candles. In addition, lighted candles floating in water with coniferous twigs and cranberries look spectacular. Purchase candles of various shapes and sizes and light them as guests gather for a festive meal.
In Catholic countries, it is customary to decorate the house with festive wreaths at Christmas. This tradition has now spread among us, as a tribute to fashion. A small wreath can be purchased either ready-made in stores, or made by yourself from branches and cones. Children will especially like this activity. If there is nowhere to take the cones, then Christmas tinsel, felt, paper and Christmas balls will do. The resulting wreath can be placed in the center of the table and decorated with fruits, coasters and decorative plates. An accessory made with your own hands will serve for a long time and will decorate the New Year's feast more than once.
You can diversify the interior with Christmas decorations. Glass balls in silvery-gold tones will look elegant in honor of the hostess of the coming year. For a family with children, toys made of unbreakable materials will be appropriate: soft toys with a mouse symbol, paper lanterns, compositions from plastic materials. You can add a few colorful Christmas balls to a large vase of candy or fruit, and a simple serving of the treat will turn into a festive treat.
A rare meeting of the New Year goes without a Christmas tree. Decorate the New Year's table with a miniature artificial Christmas tree or a few fir or pine branches. They will bring a wonderful festive aroma, but the decorative coniferous beauty will be able to last for several holidays and in the future will not take up much space during storage.
The festive mood is also set by the dishes on display. For all the splendor of the decorations, simple, well-worn dishes will nullify all efforts to prepare for the holiday. Household use of dishes with cracks, chips is a bad omen, promising financial losses and losses. Conversely, serving with elegant, sophisticated dishes attracts wealth into the house.
Which print is suitable
Although white is considered a classic in decoration, it can be annoying. Then you should pay attention to products with a New Year theme. Prints can be anything: with different New Year characters and symbols, red-green check, Scandinavian pattern and much more. When using a tablecloth with a print, you need to take into account the general combination of objects: if the tablecloth is with a large pattern, then the dishes on the table will look better monochromatic. Brightly printed cloth napkins are a good alternative.
New Year's signs
A lot of signs go around the New Year's table theme. One of them says that even if the size of the tablecloth of the hostess of the house exceeds the size of the table surface, in no case should it be folded in half. This method promises the mistress of the house only troubles, losses and family problems. On the contrary, to attract wealth into the house, you need to take four brand new coins and place them under the tablecloth on each side of the corner of the table. Money will begin to flow easily and in significant amounts.
Another way to attract wealth is to put banknotes under the plates. Of course, the bill should not be wrinkled, torn or dirty. After the holiday, the bill should be put into your wallet and worn for a whole year, so the wallet will never be empty.
Green candles also help to activate the monetary component. At midnight, you need to light seven green candles, placed in a circle and leave them to burn for a while.
