Very often just before the best holiday Every year one of the most difficult questions arises: “How to put up a Christmas tree?” At first glance, everything is very simple. And if this is indeed the case, then I’m sure you’ll be fine with your living space! A fluffy winter guest, “visiting” for about a month, will not bother anyone.
But it also happens differently:
- small apartment...
— young people rent a small room...
— large family, where there is not enough space for everyone...
If a small table is intended for two lovers, it can be decorated with snow-covered branches, which are placed in a transparent glass, decorated with exquisite stars and original New Year's souvenirs - angels, snowflakes, birds of paradise. This will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on your memory. 
How to put a Christmas tree in a small room in an original way
You can put a fake Christmas tree in your room. But believe me, you will get no less pleasure from it. For example, if you have small children in your family who are already crawling well or are just starting to walk, you will not be able to install a Christmas tree, even a small one, in the children's room. But creating its symbol is easy and simple! 
Christmas trees are very beautiful, made with your own hands from logs and colored paper, and mounted directly on the wall. Decorating such a Christmas tree New Year's toys and a glowing garland, you will receive not only New Year's treat, but also decoration of your interior. 
Even if the wall is not really good condition or just preparing for renovation, this will not spoil the New Year’s mood and change the desire to make your holiday extraordinary and memorable.
If making a Christmas tree on the wall is too difficult, try creating a tree with stars. Also very beautiful and no less interesting. 
A luxurious Christmas tree, live or artificial, as a New Year's decor is the most obvious move. But if the apartment is small, you will have to look for more original and compact solutions.
The owners of Khrushchev and other small apartments and houses find themselves in advantageous premises on New Year's Eve. The inhabitant of a spacious dwelling will install a pine or spruce tree in the apartment - and that will calm him down. When you can’t turn around in an apartment even on weekdays, and for the sake of a Christmas tree you have to evict a closet or two or three family members, you have to be inventive. As a rule, New Year's decor in such forced and literally cramped circumstances it comes out very effective and original. Especially if you use a couple of our tips. Here are 10 ideas for decorating a small apartment (or office) for the New Year.
1. Raise the New Year's decor to the ceiling, so as not to clutter up the space for moving around the apartment. Decorate the chandelier with pine branches, balls, and tinsel (just take safety measures and make sure you are insured against fire!). Attach garlands higher - paper or electric.
2. Place Christmas decorations on the doors(entrance or interior), on walls and other horizontal surfaces. The floor remains free again - for the mountain New Year's gifts and a table for guests.
3. Hanging socks, boots, caps and bags for New Year's gifts: You don’t even have to clutter the floor with gifts.
Firstly, it will save space in a small apartment, and, secondly, on a sunny day, it will make New Year’s decorations even more shining.
And a few more ways to decorate windows for the New Year:
5. New Year's pillowcases for sofa cushions: you don’t take anything from the mezzanine or bring anything from the Christmas tree market into your small apartment - you just dress your ordinary pillows in festive clothes.
6. Small Christmas trees(ideally in pots) and spruce branches will provide festive atmosphere, but will not take away square meters.
Or these options for New Year's landscaping of small homes:
7. Very small artificial Christmas trees. You can make them yourself - from a wide variety of unexpected materials: felt to pasta painted with green gouache.
8. New Year's balls are good on their own. You don't have to bring a Christmas tree into your home to admire the Christmas tree decorations. Place them in a beautiful vase or just on the table and make sure that they are no less pleasing.
9. Festive table setting table can be so impressive that it can replace both a two-meter pine tree and garlands.
10. New Year's treats. New Year's cookies or a cake in the shape of a clock, not to mention gingerbread houses, will create the necessary mood, but they will not take up space in the apartment for a long time - unless, of course, you entrust their preparation to a talented housewife.
The long-awaited New Year and Christmas holidays are approaching, which we look forward to with such impatience that today many are beginning to imagine what their Christmas tree will look like on the eve of 2016. There are many design options for the main green beauty, but today we are not talking about them, but about where to place the tree so that it becomes a 100% decoration of the room.
If you choose a live (cut down or in a pot) Christmas tree, you should take into account that the tree will not feel well near heating devices, therefore, do not install it near radiators or under an air conditioner.
Near the festive table
A Christmas tree placed near the dining table (or a table moved closer to it) will support good mood, will create the right cheerful atmosphere and serve as an excellent backdrop for New Year’s photos with your family.
Note: It will be very beautiful if you lean a couple of fluffy tree branches a little or put them on the edge festive table, of course, in the case when its size is sufficient to comfortably accommodate all invited friends and family members.

By the big window
In a house or apartment with good natural light, you can place the Christmas tree on the floor or support, for example, on a cabinet or low coffee table, near a window. During a snowfall or a blizzard raging behind icy windows, a Christmas tree flashing with multi-colored lights will seem like a true New Year's miracle.
Advice: If you place the Christmas tree near a window, prepare decorations for the window opening to form a complete composition. Above the frame you can hang bunches of Christmas decorations, electric or homemade garlands, serpentine and much more. We also recommend that, if possible, free up the floor area around the Christmas tree so that it looks more visually attractive.

Under the ceiling
An unusual, but already beloved by many, solution is to hang a Christmas tree from the ceiling with the top of the tree down. Of course, for this you need to use special fasteners, and act carefully and precisely so that the structure does not collapse later.
However, the idea of a hanging Christmas tree has caught on in many homes where out-of-the-ordinary ideas are valued, in addition, this way you can save space in a small room.
Note: Try hanging the Christmas tree from a chandelier if the tree is quite light and compact, and the lamp, on the contrary, is strong and securely attached to the ceiling surface.
By the fireplace
Of course, you should not place the tree close to the fireplace - neither a real nor an artificial specimen will withstand this. But at a distance of about a meter on one side or the other from the fireplace, you can easily install a beauty decorated with bright balls.
This placement solution New Year's tree is not unusual, but it always looks fascinating, and creates the feeling of a real fabulous holiday in the room.

Behind the sofa or armchairs
Christmas and New Year are a great occasion to get everyone together friendly family, or throw a party for your closest friends, the indispensable attribute of which should be, of course, a dazzling Christmas tree.
But since all gatherings after a meal move from the festive table to the sofa area in the living room, it would be absolutely appropriate to place the tree right here: near the upholstered furniture.
Sitting in a soft chair, it’s so nice to admire the shimmering balls and unwrap gifts.

On high ground
If the Christmas tree is the main attribute of the holidays, it should be in the most visible place. But when the room has massive furniture, tall cabinets or walls full of decor, the tree runs the risk of “merging” with all these objects filling the decor.
We recommend placing the tree not on the floor, but, for example, on a coffee table, console (if the tree is small), chest of drawers, cabinet or wide window sill. Located at eye level, it will become the center of attraction from all sides and from all parts of the room.

In this article:
In a small room
If the rooms are such that they can barely accommodate useful furniture, then you should not “steal” space from the family in order to organize a holiday. When you have to constantly make your way through a thorny obstacle, the atmosphere in the house gradually thickens. The family will get tired of this holiday obstacle.
In small rooms the best option there will be not a tree, but branches. You can make up one of them and install it where it won’t interfere. And during the New Year - put it on the table.
Another option is a small artificial Christmas tree. A miniature decoration, coupled with hanging garlands, will create a wonderful mood, and at the same time, it will not interfere. 
We put up a Christmas tree in a large apartment
If the “kingdom” allows you to expand, then you shouldn’t skimp! Buy a beautiful, even tree and place it in the center of the room where you are going to have a party. Believe me, the center of the room is the best place for the Christmas tree. You can dance around it, play, and so on. This will be the most favorite room for household members during the holidays.
In an average-sized room, the Christmas tree can be placed in a corner. This way it won’t interfere, but it will bring a lot of joy.
Please note that you should not place the plant near heating or other “hot” appliances. A live spruce will quickly wither and shed its needles, regardless of the amount and quality of care.
What to do if there are children at home?
The little ones will constantly “study” a new piece of furniture. Therefore, it is imperative to secure it to avoid injury. In addition, the toys in this case must be safe. Please note that even if you place the tree on the table so that the baby cannot reach it, it is still necessary to secure it. He can pull the wire of a garland, or a decoration that accidentally fell from a branch.
Of course, when there are children in the house, it is advisable to choose an artificial tree with soft needles. Decorate this soft toys, then an accidental fall will not harm either the tree or the child. Don't forget to wash "last year's" Christmas tree. Otherwise you will have to breathe the dust of the year before last!
Pay special attention to electrical wires from garlands and other decorations. All of them must be isolated, working, located high above the floor. Don't forget about the curiosity and agility of your offspring! Before you know it, they are already conducting experiments. And this can be unsafe!
Those who have young dogs or cats at home also need to take into account their playful nature. Animals will definitely be interested in toys and can give you several days of unplanned cleaning.
How to put up a Christmas tree in a private house?
This is where you can play with your imagination. If you are going to meet New Year in an individual building, it is recommended to start decorating the space from the yard. You can also install a holiday tree here. Beautiful, elegant, festive! In this case, it is recommended to place several branches at home to create an additional atmosphere of celebration. And the exterior of the house can be decorated.
It is not recommended to settle on just one Christmas tree for any room. If you make several New Year's compositions, place them in all rooms, it won’t be superfluous. Not only will beauty “smile” from every corner, it’s also useful! The resins of a living tree will fill the entire apartment with special healing aromas, helping to create a mood, calming nervous system, preventing colds.
About security
People often consult Feng Shui experts on where to place a tree to ensure a prosperous, rich and pleasant year. In principle, there is nothing wrong with this. But, it is advisable to take into account that in order for the beginning of the year to be joyful, you must not neglect the safety rules. Do not decorate the tree with wax candles (lit), do not use them indoors sparklers. The tree should be at some distance from electrical appliances. Then both the holiday itself and the new year 2021 will be happy and magical.
