While decorated with extravagant lights will make your house eye-appealing around the neighborhood in this holiday season, most of you probably don’t want to get into the trouble of transforming your house into a light maze.
In fact, you don’t need to go that far for the lights that only last a few weeks in the year. Armed with little more than a sturdy ladder and several strings of lights, you can dress up the outside of your house in holiday spirit within 30 minutes!
Welcoming Lighting for Pathways
1. Line your pathway with twinkling lights
Welcome guests into your home by lining the path to your house with an array of lighted mason jars, paper bags or candles. This creates interest and looks simply stunning!
If where you live has turned into a vast snowfield, add coziness to a frosty path with rows of icy lanterns.
2. Add bright colors along the way
Christmas without green and red lights is not Christmassy! These color-changing pathway lights are just perfect for adding vibrant colors to your pathways.
3. Try Rope lighting
If you’re going to light up a long path, the above lighting options may not be economical enough.
Try edging the path with led light strip featuring double sided adhesive tape! It will free you from buying light clips!
Rustic & Warm Lighting for Entryways
Want to light up your doorway that’s welcoming but not overbearing?
For an instant warm welcome, add some battery-operated fairy lights to give a traditional bay tree extra sparkle. Besides, a lighted wreath on the door and a few candle lanterns left on the floor will also help to put your doorway in holiday mood!
Naturally-inviting Lights for Trees
Now that you’re lighting for the outside, why not just make the best use of the exterior natural elements and make your lights blend in?
1. Wood Chandelier/lanterns on Tree Branch
Create a merry mood by hanging lanterns or light strips from the branches of a tree.
Or try creating a winter wonderland scene by hanging glittery snowflakes and mini lanterns on any hooks, windowsills or nearby greenery.
2. Drape brushes and shrubs with lights
For the fastest and cleanest method, covering net string lights on your bush and shrubs will provide overall illumination and instantly put your yard into holiday spirit.
For a more natural effect, pull branches and leaves through the holes in the net to set the lights a bit further back into the bush.
Minimal but Delicate Lighting for Fences
Lighting for fences comes as a breeze. A simple string of lights will complete the look. Nevertheless, there are still many possibilities you can explore to personalize your lighting.
