Ring in the New Year in Style
New Year's Eve deserves proper celebration. Whether you're hosting a full party or just having family round, walking into a nicely decorated space sets the whole tone for the evening.
💡 Pro tip: NYE decorations are all about the midnight moment - clocks showing nearly 12, champagne ready, everyone counting down together. The decorations create that special atmosphere.

🔧 DIY Tips
Doing your own New Year decorating? Here's how:
🎊 Kit you'll need
- Banners and garlands
- Balloons (various sizes looks better)
- Balloon pump (electric or manual)
- Blu-tack and Command strips for hanging
- Table decorations/confetti
- String or fishing line for hanging decorations
🎈 Balloon arrangement tips
- Mix sizes - large, medium, small clustered together
- Odd numbers look better than even (clusters of 3, 5, 7)
- Floor clusters in room corners
- Ceiling balloons need helium or fishing line to hang
- Inflate balloons day-of, not days before (they deflate)
✨ Creating focal points
- Over the food table (garland or balloon arch)
- Behind where people will stand for midnight photos
- Above the doorway guests enter through
- Around the TV if you're watching countdown shows
🕐 Clock decorations
- Big countdown clock on the wall
- Small clocks on table showing time zones
- "Nearly midnight" theme builds anticipation
- Coordinate with actual clock-watching moment
⚠️ Common decorating mistakes
- Putting decorations up days early (balloons deflate, looks tired by NYE)
- Blocking walkways or food access with decorations
- Hanging things that might fall during midnight celebrations
- Too much - sometimes simple is better
💡 Pro trick: String lights with warm white bulbs under garlands or behind balloon clusters add lovely glow for evening atmosphere. Plug into a timer for automatic sparkle.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🍾 Midnight moment: Position your main decorations where you'll all gather for the countdown. That's the photo opportunity everyone wants to capture.
Theme coordination - classic NYE is gold and black, silver and white, or rose gold. Stick to 2-3 colours maximum for coordinated look rather than rainbow chaos.
Takedown service available too - I can come back 1st January to remove it all and return your house to normal. Popular with people who hosted parties and can't face cleanup.
Outdoor NYE decorations? If you're doing garden party even in winter, I can set those up too. Patio heaters, outdoor lights, weatherproof banners.
Post-midnight cleanup not included - that's confetti, empty glasses, and party debris. But I can book a full cleanup visit for 1st January if you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does New Year decoration setup include?
I'll set up all your NYE party decorations - hang banners and garlands, inflate and arrange balloons, set up table decorations, position any centrepieces or displays. Basically get your party space looking festive and ready for midnight without you spending hours on a ladder.
Do you provide the decorations or just set up mine?
I set up yours. You choose the theme and buy what you want - gold and black classic, silver sparkle, whatever suits your party. I make sure it all goes up properly and looks good.
Can you do this on New Year's Eve day?
Yes, that's usually when people want it. I'll come morning or early afternoon so everything's ready before your guests arrive evening. Just need to book ahead - New Year's Eve fills up fast.
How long does party decoration take?
Average living room/dining room for a house party is about an hour. Bigger space or elaborate decorations takes longer. If you want multiple rooms done, add time accordingly.
What about balloon inflating - do you bring a pump?
Yes, I'll bring a proper electric balloon pump. Much faster than manual pumping or those disposable helium canisters. Unless you specifically want helium balloons floating, in which case you'd need to provide the helium.
