There are a lot of resources to help people who are looking for apartments for rent in Phoenix, and there’s also information that can help you out after you’ve already moved in. The end of the year has a lot of different holidays to decorate for, and the last one in line is New Year’s Eve. This is one of the most exciting holidays of the year because it’s a great reason to party, and it also marks the beginning of a fresh year. As you prepare for another year of goal-hitting, success, and self-improvement, start the year off right by getting your apartment in the spirit. Prepare yourself for an awesome New Year’s Eve by following these seven easy tips.
1. Sparklers
Check with your apartment complex before you go outside and light anything on fire, but sparklers can be an excellent accessory for your New Year’s Eve party. Even if you don’t want to deal with burning and cleaning up after sparklers, it can be nice to have them around. Get some decorative sparklers with intricate designs like star patterns or confetti coming out of the end, and leave them around your apartment. There are lots of festive options online, so it will be easy to find something that fits in with the rest of your decorations.
2. Reflective Surfaces
New Year’s Eve is all about the sparkle. Take things to the next level with a disco ball or something similar. If you don’t want to invest in a disco ball just for this occasion, consider turning a mirror or mirrors you already have into a festive decoration. You can make a nice mirror wall by wrapping a mirror in a strand of lights. You can also buy a strand of mirrored surfaces and lights online if you’re willing to spend a little bit of money to save yourself some time and effort.
3. Spruce up Your Walls
It can be easier than you might imagine giving your walls a festive pop of color. For example, you can even use normal wrapping paper to create a mood wall or little accent pieces. Use some gift wrap you have left over from the other holidays throughout the season, especially if you have anything in gold, silver, or other shiny colors that will fit with the rest of your decorations. You can use it as an inexpensive temporary wallpaper, or just create a little patch for people to stand in front of for pictures.
4. Set the Mood
A big part of decorating for New Year’s Eve is striking the right mood with your lighting. You can adjust the existing lighting in your apartment to create the right balance if you’re on a tight budget. For example, keep some lights on and some off to create the perfect low-lighting mood. Alternatively, you can drape a sparkled silver cloth over your lamp to create an interesting light that fills the room. If you really want to take things up a notch, invest in novelty lights or some interesting candles.
5. Make it Rain with Confetti
Confetti is a New Year’s Eve staple, and it’s a cheap and easy way to make your apartment look ready for a celebration. Buy a couple of packets to scatter on surfaces like countertops, tables, and your bar cart. You can also use glitter if you want, but we recommend picking something with fairly big pieces that will be easier to clean up after the fact.
6. Boas, Garlands, and Other Strands
If you want the look of confetti or glitter without the added cleanup, consider getting a strand of something that you can drape around your apartment. They’re easy to set up and take down, and there are lots of inexpensive options. Best of all, they create a festive mood and an interesting background that will make all of the pictures from the night look amazing.
7. A Positive Mood is the Best New Year’s Eve Decoration
The most important thing about a party is that everyone should be having fun. This includes neighbors, so make sure you run your party by them so they aren’t surprised by the noise. You can invite them over, too (even if you don’t think they’ll come). This will help make sure there are no confrontations that will prevent anyone from enjoying the decorative environment you created.
