As any host knows all too well, New Year’s Eve decor ideas can be surprisingly hard to come by. While other holidays—Halloween, Christmas, even birthdays—come with built-in color palettes, New Year’s Eve tends to perplex. Glitter, sequins and every shade of the rainbow are on the menu, outfit-wise, but what really is there to do for party decor?
The answer is less elusive than it appears: New Year’s Eve is an excuse for you to take your decor in any direction you so choose. And when in doubt, you can just emulate your clothing. Sparkles are always a good idea. You can never go wrong with black. And iridescent pieces offer you the chance to get in on the every-shade-of-the-rainbow thing without being too literal.
While DIY hotspots might point you in the direction of crafty New Year’s Eve decor ideas that promise to make your party as impressive (and delightfully over-the-top) as your outfit, some of us simply don’t have time to throw together homemade streamers, garlands, confetti and the like. We already have delicious New Year’s Eve dishes to whip up, after all. When will we find the time—in the four days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve—to knock out a ton of DIYs, too?
The answer to this question is also less elusive than it appears: We can simply shop New Year’s Eve decor. There’s tons of it on the market—and some of it’s actually cute (and timeless) enough to warrant leaving up year-round. So if you can’t summon the energy to take down your stunning New Year’s Eve decor on January 1 or 2 (or let’s be real, in January at all), you get a free pass; your houseguests will just associate your aesthetic with sparkly festivity, which will undoubtedly leave you seeming like the coolest, funnest friend around.
So what are you waiting for? There’s little time before the clock strikes midnight on January 31. Start browsing these totally shoppable New Year’s Eve decor ideas, loading your digital shopping carts and making mental notes of the decor you can get away with leaving up for months to come. Because 2019 is right around the corner, and you want to ring it in right.
