“Come on Barbie, let’s go party!” — Aqua’s 1997 song may be on your playlist thanks to Greta Gerwig’s big hit. Setting up your home for a New Year’s Eve (NYE) party is also about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From choosing the right lighting, cleaning tables and countertops, to rearranging furniture to create comfy seating areas, and setting out a finger food buffet, it’s important to set the right tone for the evening.
Sumit Dhawan, Founder and Principal Architect, Cityspace’ 82 Architects, says the NYE party house has evolved beyond the confines of decor, transcending into an immersive and sensorial experience. “The celebrations involve a strategic fusion of design elements, emphasising colour palettes and materials to evoke the desired atmosphere,” he says. “Opt for warm, inviting hues like earthy tones or calming pastels that encourage conviviality and relaxation,” he adds.
