A New Year's Eve party at home doesn't need a big budget. Gold and silver accents, lots of light, a drinks station and a photo spot are plenty to make it feel like an event.

Here's how to pull it together.

NYE party decor pieces

  1. Gold or silver number balloons

    Spell out the new year as a centerpiece.

  2. Metallic fringe curtain

    An instant photo backdrop.

  3. Party hats and noisemakers

    Gold, black or silver to match.

  4. Confetti

    Scatter it on tables (paper confetti is easier to clean).

  5. Champagne flutes

    Plastic or glass, plus a bucket for ice.

  6. Drinks tray or bar cart

    A dedicated sparkling-drinks station.

  7. String lights

    Warm lights everywhere for atmosphere.

  8. Clock or countdown sign

    A big clock or letter board for the countdown.

Set the scene in 4 steps

  1. Pick a palette: gold & black, silver & white, or champagne.
  2. Make a focal point: balloons and a fringe backdrop for photos.
  3. Create a drinks station with flutes, ice and sparkling drinks (include alcohol-free options).
  4. Dim the lights and use candles and string lights.
