The best Christmas movie…
di Andira Vitale
It’s the most beautiful time of the year when sorrows and vices are locked in chests. Streets, shop windows, and doors were adorned with the hopeful and sparkling spirit of the new year. Those who want to throw out the bad memories of the past and let new hopes in also take their place on this stage. Are you one of those who wish to be renewed and live in a fairy-tale world? So, let’s reflect on the warm and lively New Year’s atmosphere in our house and the whole city… Let’s prepare a New Year’s movie together that multiplies the happy moments that makeup life…
Our guide to creating the magical atmosphere of the New Year’s mood will be the genius Leonardo da Vinci, who said, “Simplicity is the way to perfection”. In this context, we should be careful with colours and colour harmony. The year 2024 welcomes the classic colours of the New Year. Red and green colours, the symbol of Christmas, and warm plaid patterns keep their first place as usual. The perfect harmony of white, gold, or silver is preferred in houses where white, gold and brown tones dominate.
New Year’s trees, pine branches, and decorative lighting form the indispensable triangle for Christmas touch to homes and the environment. Regardless of the Christmas colour chosen in the scenes, the atmosphere of the houses and their surroundings is wholly renewed with tablecloths, deer and star patterns, motifs, candles, ribbons, mini trees on the table, angels and cones. This movie’s producer and director prioritise the outside of the house, not the inside. They explain their reasons: Peace, happiness, hope, and beauty multiply when shared.
New Year’s doors to hope
Considering that the new year knocking on our door is our future, we should welcome it in the best possible way. To forget the old doors that have closed to look at the newly opened ones with hope, we can make our entrances with pine branches, ribbons, red, gold, silver, and white balls, and candles, according to our preference. We can decorate it with flowers and decorative lights.
The windows waiting for 2024
Our window on life is essential. It opens up to hope or pessimism. We want to bring light, hope and warmth to the city and our homes. For this, our best communication tool is our windows. For this, even a pen is enough …
Balconi mozzafiato
Vogliamo respirare più sano e contribuire all’aria pulita della città. Per questo aggiungiamo i nostri balconi al palcoscenico allestito in base al periodo più bello dell’anno.
Charming houses
The place where the New Year is most meaningful is, of course, our homes. A beautiful Christmas decoration also creates the magical atmosphere of a family holiday. With the right decorations and a pinch of imagination, we can bring the Christmas atmosphere that will accompany us into the houses. There are many ideas to turn the house’s interior into a Christmas dream atmosphere. But the main thing to do is: We should focus on Christmas colours (red, gold, fir green), remember the themes of winter and gifts, and set our dreams free… Fireplaces, stairs, windows, chandeliers, mirrors and doors, each serving our dreams, are different. We can turn it into a main character. Dazzling lights, pine branches, cones, ribbons, candles, shades of green, red, white or gold, and checkered patterns are the supporting players… They all add a warm atmosphere to our home and create a fairy-tale atmosphere…
By wrapping pine branches on fireplaces, stair railings, hall entrances and windows, we can decorate them according to our taste and the colours of the environment. The ribbons, cones, flowers and lights are the best choices. We can make the New Year’s atmosphere more fascinating with the candles we will put on the stairs…
We complete the last scene on December 31, that is, on the starry night. We write a happy ending to friends and family with tables prepared with love. We add Christmas music that plays on the stage non-stop for a month, to candles, angels, pine branches or tiny trees, sparkling lights…
Let the most beautiful moments you spend in the New Year begin with your touches to your home and its surroundings…
