How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your living room in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Champagne Gold (#D4AF6A) for balloons, candle holders, confetti.
- 3Pick one focal point — fireplace, TV wall or large window — and orient the seating toward it.
- 4Bring in metallic foil balloons and fringe curtains and glass and metallic candle holders — the two signature materials of New Year's design.
- 5Add one statement piece: balloon garland or year-number photo backdrop.
- 6Finish with crisp white (#F5F4F0) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Metallic foil balloons and fringe curtains
- Glass and metallic candle holders
- Glitter confetti and sequin table runners
- Champagne coupes and a drinks tray
- Warm LED string lights and candles
Furniture to look for
- Balloon garland or year-number photo backdrop
- Styled bar cart or champagne station
- Celebration table with runner, candles and confetti
- Clock centerpiece counting down to midnight
- Metallic throw pillows and a black or gold throw
Mistakes to avoid
- Pushing all furniture against the walls, which leaves a dead empty zone in the middle of the room.
- Choosing a rug that is too small, making the seating area look like it is floating apart.
- Relying on a single overhead light, which flattens the room and creates harsh shadows.
Budget tips
- Rearrange existing furniture before buying anything — a new layout costs nothing and changes everything.
- Spend on the sofa and rug first; side tables, lamps and decor can be budget finds.
- Paint one accent wall instead of the whole room to cut paint cost and effort by three quarters.
