Transforming our Dining Room for a New Year Celebration!

Are you ready to say goodbye to Christmas and welcome to the New Year? If you’re like most of us and love decorating for the holidays, then you know that the change from Christmas to New Year's can be a bittersweet moment. So why not make the transition from one holiday to the next even more enjoyable by transforming your dining room? With a few simple upgrades and decorations, you can create a festive look that celebrates both the end of one year and the start of the next. In this blog post, I'll share a fun and creative way to transform your dining room from Christmas to New Year's.

I had so much fun transforming our dining room from Christmas to New Years and enjoying our tree a little longer this holiday season. I incorporated lots of silvers and golds to make my version of a Winter wonderland. This allowed me to leave up my tree and garland across the table for the greenery centerpiece. I found the perfect decorative mini Christmas trees for table decor (I will link them all below. Many are on major sale after Christmas!) which made for highs and lows across the centerpiece and tied in the Winter wonderland. I went with a velvet tablecloth and layers of placemats with beading to give elements and layers that are so New Years and a beautiful combination.

For even more pops of New Years that made the dining room even more special, I added a balloon garland from Target across our mirror. This was a 5 dollar find that added an adorable touch to the mirror. I knew I was going to be sad when I took our Christmas wreath off of the mirror -see our Christmas dining room here- but this balloon totally made an adorable element and added to the mirror once again! Adding a champagne station below with rock candy gets everyone ready for a midnight toast while also giving a decorative element! One last thing I added are the Christmas crackers. These are fun to crack at midnight when the ball drops. Another great idea would be to add a New Years horn, noisemakers, or poppers.

I hope this gives you inspiration on how to transform your home space from Christmas straight into New Year's Eve! Most of these decorative ideas you may have already from other tablescapes and from Christmas decorations. I made sure to link everything I used (down to our outfits) many are on major sale for 50% off. The idea of this tablescape was to inspire you to use things you may already have for a simple and elegant New Year's Eve table. Wishing you a Happy New Year and a blessed 2023.
