New Year's Eve has always been a love-hate holiday of mine. On the one hand, you're celebrating all the things you've achieved over the past year; on the other, the pressure and expectation to start the new year off well often outweighs the time that's actually had. Well, there is one way to make sure your New Year's Eve exceeds expectations, and that's when it comes to your decorations.

Hosting is one of my favorite things to do, and New Year's Eve party decorating ideas are no different. Nothing shows off your hosting skills like having all the details prepped, planned, and ready to enjoy. To ring in the New Year with vigor, you'll need all of the sparkly, shiny, and silver decor (obviously), but you also need the practical pieces that act as the unsung heroes of the party.

For instance, would a few folding chairs help everyone squeeze comfortably around your table? Do you have your dinner party scent-scaping in order? (And yes, it matters.) Do you have all the beverages — home cocktail bar and mocktails — organized?

Christmas may have come and gone, but the holiday celebrations aren't done yet. So, if you need a few more last-minute New Year's Eve decorating ideas to kick your celebrations into full swing, then I've got just the list for you, below.

It's been a festive-packed last few months, and a little R&R is in order. After long nights followed by busy days, it might be time to adopt a few slow morning wellness rituals into your home. Luckily, we've got you covered there, too.
