Decorating For a New Years Eve Party!

Just as your holiday décor has reached a frenzy of glitter and bows, and you continue to be showered with festive tokens of holiday socks, ornaments, and candy, we can’t forget that New Years is just a week away, too! Whether you are having an intimate dinner party with a few select guests, letting the kids stay up until midnight to see the ball drop, or hosting a rocking bash, New Years is an evening of pure celebration! It is essential to add a little special shimmer and glitz to greet the new year in style! Here are a couple of ideas from WallPops to make this year a News Year to remember!

Dry-erase boards have become the must-have interactive accessory this year! In a digital world, it is so refreshing to see people actually writing things, leaving each other notes and drawings! A dry-erase board is also SUPER fun at a party! Put one up and let your guests go wild on the walls! You can take a picture so you don’t feel guilty erasing the board afterwards. People can leave New Years revelations, favorite memories from the year, or just tidings of adoration! Trust us, it will be a fun party activity, just get it started by writing something like “Welcome 2012!”, leave the marker, and over the night your guests will fill it up with all kinds of wonderful wisdom and wackiness!

Lighting is an essential way to set the mood. Your overhead lighting might be perfect for your daily activities like cooking and reading, but most likely it is too bright for a swanky gala! Create a more glamorous atmosphere by dimming the lights, using colored bulbs, and strings of Christmas lights. Lighting is a dazzling way change your space from familiar to fete-fabulous! Try one of our chandeliers, like the Posh, with 3 swinging tiers of shimmering metallic orbs! This ritzy chandelier can be lit up with a white or colored light bulb for an extra dallop of drama!

Another fun way to set the party mood is to choose a festive color or pattern and carry it through all of the party accessories! Some chic New Years Eve themes are shimmery silver, glittery gold, classic black, or zebra print! Dots, Blox, and Stripes are fabulous options for quickly re-inventing a space! Jazz up walls, or add razzle-dazzle and organization to tablescapes with dots and blox. A WallPops Dot, like a Go Wild Zebra, on a bar, table or counter is a brilliant way to organize bottles or glasses for drinks and can protect your surfaces! Get matchy-matchy with plates, cups, and napkins or even go all out with streamers and ballloons, and you have yourself a party motif!

Bring Hip into Holiday Decor

Stylish Additions for a Fashionable and Festive Season

     

Most families have established traditions celebrated every holiday season, whether gathering together to bake cookies, taking the annual family photo for cards or cutting down the tree; such activities make the season meaningful. Why not add to those cherished moments and try something hip this year when it comes to holiday décor? With the following ideas, the upcoming holidays will be every bit as wonderful as in the past but a bit more festive and fashionable.

Merry Metallic: Use red, green, white, blue, gold and silver but make it shine by choosing metallic finishes. Whether lacquered candlesticks, plant holders or picture frames, add chic shine to this year’s decorations.
Celebratory Stripes: Stripes have exploded in clothing and home fashions and now can easily be integrated into holiday décor. WallPops is available in peel-and-stick stripes in a rainbow of colors, including many perfect hues for making merry. Try lining the easy-to-apply stripes onto a wall either vertically or horizontally in “Red Hot“ red, “Lucky Clover“ green or “Shh!” navy blue alternating ”Ghost” white or using a combination of colors. For extra shimmer, experiment with the Ice Stripes, a metallic mirrored stripe perfect for winter holidays. Stripes come in a roll at 6.5-inches wide by 16-inches long for approximately $15.99 each, and they can be cut for cute candy cane striping. Integrate the wall colors around the room with other accessories and gather friends and family to hear the “oohs and aahs” resulting from this statement-making addition.
Joyful Shimmer: Nothing says the holidays like twinkling lights and luckily, shimmer rarely goes out of style. Go glam with glistening ornaments in silver and gold to twinkle with lights or add sparkle-covered candleholders on mantles and tabletops. Another easy way to add bling that can be used year-round is with a chandelier. For an affordable option, try WallPops Chandeliers available in three different styles including: Posh with five-tiers of mod-shaped silver ovals hanging 33.5-inches; and Icicles with small silver reflective squares dangling 29.5-inches; Conveniently, all are available at approximately $29.99 each so you can save funds for gifts and other holiday costs.

DIY WallPops Leaves Design

When seasons change, we feel more than just a change in the weather. There is an awareness and an excitement that comes with each season. Fall is a beautiful time of year, the time of harvest and the time for nature to put on a brilliant show of color. Celebrate the Fall and all of her bountiful hues by giving your decor an Autumn make-over. This fun project is a wonderful way to bring those colors into your home.

1. Gather leaves in different shapes and sizes.

2. Trace them on the back of WallPops Blox in autumn colors like Lello Yello, Blackberry, Red Hot and Totally Orange.

3. Cut out the leaf shapes, and include the stem.

4. After you have your leaf shape cut out, peel it off of the backing and stick it to the wall.

Add as many or as few leaves as you wish, in as many colors as you would like for the desired effect. This decor idea looks great from early September all of the way through Thanksgiving.

Enjoy this video for a quick demonstration on how to get this look at home.
