No need for elaborate or expensive decoration, apartment decoration during Tet can achieve high aesthetic efficiency if done in a streamlined and highlighted direction. With the characteristic of limited area, the decor trend prioritizes minimalism and neatness while still maintaining the traditional Tet atmosphere.
Small houses decorated for Tet, neatness is the "key".
Compared to ground floor houses, apartments have a more limited usable area, which can easily become cramped if too many decorations are arranged. Therefore, cleaning and rearranging living space is a necessary step before proceeding with Tet decor.
Storing unnecessary items and minimizing furniture helps the space to be airy and convenient for living and receiving guests at the beginning of the year. When the ground is cleared, decoration can be implemented gently, focusing on some key details instead of spreading out.
Choosing accents instead of decorating a lot, small houses are still luxurious enough to welcome guests
For small apartments, Tet decoration should aim to choose accents instead of using many small items. The living room - the central area of the apartment - can be accented with a neat Tet tea table, traditional jam trays, monochrome teacups combined with a fresh flower vase.
Flowers such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, chrysanthemums or tulips are suitable for the apartment space thanks to their moderate size, clear colors and easy arrangement. In a limited space, a detail placed in the right position often brings much higher aesthetic efficiency than scattered decoration elements.
Coordinate colors sparingly, take advantage of light to "upgrade" the space
Red and yellow are still the characteristic colors of Tet, but need to be used controlledly in small apartments to avoid feeling heavy. A common way to coordinate is to use red and yellow as accents, combined with neutral backgrounds such as white, cream or light wood to create visual balance.
Besides color, light is a factor contributing to completing the space. Warm yellow lights, small decorative lights or light scented candles help increase the feeling of warmth when welcoming guests. Balcones or empty walls can be used to hang spring paintings, mini parallel sentences, both saving space and creating decorative impressions.
Tet decoration for apartments does not depend on the number of decorations, but lies in a purposeful choice and reasonable arrangement. When the space is kept neat, harmonious colors and suitable lighting, small apartments still ensure solemnity and warmth in the first days of the year.
