Your friends are invited, the drinks are ready, but wait! How the heck are you supposed to make your apartment look amazing for New Year’s? Fear not, party people, we’ve gathered some ideas to help you ring in 2015 in style (And have your friends talking about it through 2016).
1. A floating picture gallery
You know what’s better than a picture gallery of 2014? A floating picture gallery of 2014. Attach photos of friends, moments, and hilarious times to these balloons. They can be moved around the party to provide perfect talking points for guests. Another idea! Bring a Polaroid camera and pin new photos to them.
2. “2015 Crescent Dippers”
So not exactly an apartment design tip – but hey, these were too cool to leave out! Pillsbury provides a step by step guide for creating these year-appropriate appetizers.
3. Create a homemade photo booth
Cannot… resist… photo… booth. We’ve all been there – photo booths are amazingly fun. Add some props, like these mustaches and bow-ties for $8 from Anthropologie.
4. Then #hashtag them!
Put up a sign next to the booth with a party specific hashtag so you can see every photo. #JennsNYEparty2014 #sohotrightnow
5. Clocks
A song by Coldplay and your perfect New Year’s party companion.
6. Add a sparkle to your ceiling
An easy way to make your apartment shine! Buy simple streamers at any party supply store, add those Christmas lights from the holidays, and voila, you’ve got the perfect atmosphere for NYE.
7. Hang some bubbles next to your bubbles.

8. A resolution tree
Take a few branches, add a little gold spray and arrange in a clear vase. Leave some notes and ask guests to write resolutions on them.
9. Hang NYE banners
Banners over drink stations, dinner tables, or empty walls fill blank space perfectly.
10. Printables
Decorate your space with free printables, like this one from Creating Really Awesome Free Things:
