Hanging Christmas lights has become a true art form. Breakdown your holiday decorating into these easy steps and your home will be the most festive on the block. It all starts by having the right decorations.
Decide on a Color Scheme
Christmas lights come in a vast array of colors. Do you gravitate toward houses clad in all-white lights or do you enjoy a more colorful display of holiday cheer? Go shopping for your lights with your color scheme in mind. Here are some Christmas lights and decorating items you will need to fully decorate your outdoor space.
- Light Nets
- Rope Lights
- Classic LED Light
- Lighted Decorations
- Light Clip
- Extension Cords
Define Your Walkways
Lead people right up to your door even at night by lining your walkways with stunning Christmas lights. Light ropes offer a clean and elegant glow while colorful C9 lights on garden stakes offer a more playful option.
Accentuate the Architectural Details
Make the most of the architectural elements of your home by accentuating them with Christmas lights. Pillars can gel elegantly wrapped with LED lights while archways are trimmed with beautiful lush garlands. Trim the roofline with straight or icicle lights and finish things off by hanging wreaths in all windows.
Twinkling Trees and Bushes
Don’t top at simply decorating the house with lights. Drape net light over perfectly manicured bushes. Light nets are such an easy way to get perfectly spaced lights over oddly shaped items. Net lights can also be wrapped around a tree trunk or hung down from a plain wall to create a crisscross pattern.
With winter upon you the leaves have fallen from branches, making them an ideal place to hang beautiful over-sized ornaments designed for outdoor use. You can even purchase large lighted balls to hang from trees.
