Turning Christmas Decor to New Year’s Eve
On

Color Themes
Of course, everyone is over the red and the green because it just screams “Ho-ho-ho, Merry Christmas!” So, just pack away all of that, but leave out anything that is gold, silver, or blue. Gold is perfect for New Year’s decor, bringing to mind the hues of champagne and glittery stars. Add some black with your gold for a timeless, elegant look. Silver and blue are also perfect for winter themes. These colors bring to mind snowflakes, starry nights, and winter time fun. Also, remember that white is a timeless, gorgeous wintertime neutral against which all of these colors really stand out.

Add Some 2018 Beauty
You know that greenery on the fireplace mantle? Remove all of the Christmas decorations from it and replace them with other things. White candles, glittery snowflakes, and the numbers 2018 can bring that greenery up to date for the New Year.
Use Baubles As Centerpieces
Reuse Christmas baubles as an eye-catching centerpiece by using a large glass vase. You can take color-coordinated glass balls and layer them in tall vases. Gold with black and silver with blue are two color combinations that work perfectly. Bonus points if you can find these items on the Christmas clearance shelf!
Wreaths that Work Overtime
