We often talk about layering lighting and maximizing efficiency with controls and options. These principles can also be applied to your holiday lighting plan. String some green lights now paired with purple to welcome Halloween trick-or-treaters and leave those green strings up for your Christmas displays later. Or decorate your outdoor spaces with orange, red, yellow, and white lights that will easily take you from mid-October through your Thanksgiving feast. Experiment with different light bulb styles for different effects. Larger bulbs evoke a vintage feel, while mini or even micro lights can illuminate the smallest spaces or brighten a larger area when grouped together. When lighting entertainment areas indoors for celebrations and parties, color-changing strip lights with optional controls put the power of the mood in the palm of your hand. Get creative and light your bar area with black lights . . . did you know that tonic water glows a lovely blue color in the presence of black light? Break out the drinks!
Traditional strings lights, whether LED or incandescent, are the go-to choice for many decorators, as they should be. This holiday lighting workhorse is easy to install and offers almost limitless flexibility for all your creative projects. Stuff multiple strings in a carved-out pumpkin or lay flat on tabletops intertwined with other festive décor. Wrap columns or branches, or outline wall art and niches. No outlet nearby? No problem! We have battery-operated options that will keep your party lit!
But don’t let your creativity be constrained with simple string lights–expand and release your inner lighting designer by using many string lights gathered together to create shimmering curtains at entrances, rope lights bordering walkways and flower beds, colored bulbs in outdoor fixtures and indoor lamps, and go for the full drama by hanging faceted or sparkly lighted spheres in varying sizes.
