2. Illuminate the Outdoors

Let’s start outside and make a grand first impression with a stunning light display. Highlight key areas such as your:

  • Roofline: Use icicle lights or classic string lights to outline your roof.
  • Trees & Shrubs: Wrap trees with mini lights or use net lights on shrubs for even coverage.
  • Porch Displays: Incorporate lighted wreaths or outdoor ornaments to frame your doorway.

 

3. Add Drama Indoors

Holiday lighting isn’t just for the outdoors. Bring the glow inside to create a cozy, festive atmosphere.

  • Lighted Wreaths & Garlands: Drape these on mantels, staircases, or table centerpieces.
  • Window Candles: Classic and elegant, these battery-operated candles create a timeless holiday charm.
  • Battery-Operated Wax Candles: Perfect for mantels, tablescapes, and areas where open flames aren’t an option.

Bright Idea:

Dimmable lights are perfect for adjusting the ambiance, whether you’re hosting a holiday party or curling up by the fire. Check out the many features we have to offer in our light collection. 

4. Mix in Unique Elements

Set your home apart with creative lighting ideas:

  • Christmas Tree: Layer lights from the trunk outward for depth, and finish with a tree topper that shines bright.
  • Lighted Décor: Incorporate pre-lit figurines like reindeer, snowmen, or gift boxes into your yard or living spaces.
  • Micro LEDs: Add a whimsical glow to tablescapes, wreaths, or even houseplants for an extra festive touch.

With these bright ideas, your home will be the star of the season. So, get ready to string those lights, plug them in, and let the holiday magic shine! To stay inspired and grow with us, follow us on FacebookInstagramPinterest, and TikTok to dig into the joys of gardening!
