The New Year is celebrated solemnly and lavishly all over Serbia, and the epicenter of New Year's parties is of course in Belgrade. In the central city square of the capital, famous performers of various genres of music perform, who entertain the gathered audience well into the night, while catering facilities organize welcome and reprise parties, which are talked about for months after the New Year. The city is festively decorated and exudes a fairy-tale festive atmosphere, which is equally enjoyed by the citizens of Belgrade, as well as tourists from the interior and the region, who come in large numbers to the capital where they spend the craziest night and reprise.
Of course, all the guests that Belgrade welcomes during the holidays have to stay somewhere, so the capacities of accommodation facilities are usually filled months in advance. If you are the owner of an apartment or flat that you rent out for the day, in addition to a pleasant and orderly environment, decorate the building that you rent out with festive decorations. Your guests will come to the reserved accommodation early, to prepare for the evening party and will be delighted with the attention you have shown them, and therefore will definitely come back to you!
In the following, we bring you several interesting ideas on how to decorate your apartment elegantly and carefully in the spirit of the upcoming New Year's holidays.
Decorate the entrance to your apartment
Even when they decorate the interior of the apartment with decent New Year's decorations, most owners forget to pay a little attention to the door, which does not have to be boring. You have a couple of options at your disposal: affordable New Year's LED lights with stars or roses that you can shape as you wish, or a classic New Year's decorative wreath, made of natural or artificial Christmas tree branches, sparkling ribbons and New Year's balls. The entrance to the apartment will let guests know that you have gone a step further in your efforts to provide them with a pleasant stay and brighten up the upcoming holidays.
Place LED lighting on windows or walls
There are few decorations as simple and at the same time effective as decorative LED lighting, among which decorative LED curtains stand out in particular. This popular type of lighting comes in several variants - from classic twinkling tendrils, the so-called "falling" lights to curtains in the shape of stars and Christmas trees. Even if you decide to decorate the space only with these curtains, you will not go wrong - they are very effective and striking.
The best part - you can use the long-lasting LED curtains all year round! They can illuminate the wall of the room, serve as a luminous curtain between two rooms, or you can hang them on the window, instead of classic fabric curtains. They have eight different operating modes and are suitable for outdoor and indoor use, and you can even move them to the balcony if you wish!
Create a starry sky in the bedroom
Bring a dose of romance into the bedroom with a projector that perfectly simulates the starry sky. When they return from the party, while collecting the impressions of the craziest night, your guests will be delighted by the soothing atmosphere created by the sparkling stars in various tones. The projector comes with a remote control that can be used to set the operating mode and choose the color of the stars, and the device itself is very easy to mount on any surface.
Add a couple of festive throw pillows to the sofa
Here is another simple and effective way to accentuate the New Year's atmosphere, without incurring a large expense at the same time! Buy a pair of pillows (or pillowcases, if you already have pillows) in reds and greens or shimmery metallics, with embroidered lettering or holiday motifs. Cushions add a snug and cozy look to the space and everyone loves them! After the holidays are over, simply put them away, then take them out again before the next party!
Decorate an artificial pine branch instead of a Christmas tree
No one expects you to have a decorated 2m Christmas tree in the apartment you are renting out - that idea is not practical, but it has a great alternative. Buy an artificial pine branch in the store - a gorgeous garland, which you will then decorate with LED lights and/or New Year's balls. You can place the garland on the window frame, around the door frame or on the dining table. Another, no less great option is a small Christmas tree. Miniature Christmas trees, 30 to 50 cm high, are very popular. Sometimes they are faithful copies of large Christmas trees, sometimes they are wire simulations decorated with sparkling threads that even light up when you plug them into a power source. No matter which one you choose, you won't go wrong - they are very charming and decorative!
Place the bowl of decorations on the table
Aeffective, simple and affordable way to bring the New Year's atmosphere into your apartment. Instead of fruit, put New Year's decorations in complementary colors in a nice porcelain bowl (preferably metallic), and additionally "spice" them up with a couple of pine cones. This decoration looks great, regardless of the style of decorating the space, and you will make it while saying "New Year".
Amp up the festive atmosphere with poinsettias
Christmas stars are one of the symbols of the upcoming holidays. Their velvety red petals are one of the first associations with New Year and Christmas, they are very impressive and decorative. Unfortunately, although beautiful, these plants last as long as the New Year's euphoria - only a few weeks, but that's why they are very affordable. If the fact that they don't last long puts you off buying poinsettias, consider an artificial alternative. They are available in white and red, and their edges are edged with whitish frost or gold glitter!
Don't forget to decorate the terrace
If your apartment has a balcony, guests will probably spend part of their time in the fresh air, enjoying the view of the fireworks in the night sky, which in the capital last well into the night. To make their stay in the cold January air more pleasant, don't forget places to sit, a couple of blankets and New Year's ikebana!
Leave a small token of appreciation for your guests
In the end, small signs of attention are what make the difference between good and great hosts, and since the first impression is everything in your business, do your best to make it perfect. For the craziest night of the year, leave a small sign of attention to your guests as a gift - a bottle of wine or a plate with gingerbread in recognizable holiday shapes. Kindness is that personal touch that enriches every communication, and the feeling we caused in others is what is remembered even when the events are long behind us - so let's enter the New Year 2023 with care and respect for all the people we come into contact with .
Happy Holidays!
