During the holidays, the home becomes a magical space where we make cherished memories with friends and loved ones—and setting is key to unlocking your home’s full holiday potential.
Celebrate the season by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with festive lighting designs. Here are some ideas to get started.
Light the Way with LEDs
Bring the holiday spirit home with twinkling LED lights. Modern LEDs can provide the same warmth and glow of traditional bulbs, but with improved efficiency and durability. Plus, they are easier to install without overloading the outlet and stay cooler than traditional bulbs, reducing the risk of fire.
Illuminate the Entry
A well-lit entry immediately evokes the joy of the season. If the space allows, utilize a combination of soft lanterns, floral wreaths and carefully placed strands of lights. With carefully selected décor, you can craft a welcoming and cohesive look ready for the holidays.
Highlight the Roof
Adorn the exterior with festive lighting using roof outlines, icicle lights or large-scale light displays showcasing an unforgettable holiday scene.
Stay safe by securing the lights properly and avoid possible electrical hazards. It’s always best to opt for professional installation if you’re feeling unsure.
Put a Spotlight on Yard Décor
Exterior lights and décor are key when ringing in the holidays. Everyone loves an elaborate light display, but there are simpler ways to make a statement.
Use spotlights to highlight outdoor decorations like trees, themed statues and decorated pathways to emphasize the seasonal ambiance. Solar-powered lights are easy to install and can help guide holiday guests with additional efficiency.
Deck the Halls
No holiday home is complete without decking the halls. Decorate the mantel, staircases and other focal points of the home with glowing lights, garlands and greenery for an extra splash of seasonal cheer.
Use a mix of styles like ambient, task and accent lighting to develop a charming and festive atmosphere, with smart lighting to explore a variety of moods and tones.
It’s time to grab some LED lights and make the season bright. Experiment with your own ideas to design a personalized space for seasonal celebration.
Wishing you a happy and bright holiday!
