Christmas is the season of giving and goodwill, and what better way to share Christmas joy and your festive spirit than by creating a seasonal light show for the entire world to see?
Whether you are looking for an elegant festive display or imagine your garden challenging the Blackpool Illuminations, we have plenty of tips to make your outdoor Christmas lighting as magical as the season itself.
Let’s explore a variety of sparkling scenarios that will make your holiday lights the talk of your street!
The elegant look: create a timeless and classic display
The key to an elegant look is to try to keep it simple by being consistent in your choice of lights and don’t mix them up.
For a cosy, traditional Christmas feel, go for warm white lights such as the Warm White LED String Lights. These are perfect for the front of your home, lining windows and doors, or dressing the bushes and trees in your garden.
To top off your display, add the beautiful cascading effect of Warm White Icicle Lights hung from your gutters or fascia.
Mixing these two light styles tastefully maintains and enhances that elegant yet cosy Christmas feel.
Finish off your elegant masterpiece by adding a selection of Pre-Lit Candle Bridges in the windows.
Frosty Festive Wonderland: mirror the magic of a cold and frosty Christmas morning
There is something about looking out onto a beautiful, chilly December landscape that makes you feel even more festive and cosy inside. Use bright white or blue lights to create a crisp, contemporary Christmas feel.
The cool white LED string lights are a go-to’ for this style, offering a crisp, eye-catching, modern look. Mix these with the Blue LED String Lights to enhance the icy effect.
Top this off by incorporating the Snowflake Projector Light to create moving snowflakes on the front of your home.
Try adding natural-looking elements such as the Pre-Lit Extra Thick Pine Garland or the Pre-Lit Multi-Function Douglas Fir Garland to both contrast and complement your cool lighting theme and act as a perfect backdrop for your light show.
Fun and Funky: An All-Out Festival of Colour
If you want to create a display that all the parents on your street bring their kids to see, then this is the lighting design for you.
There is no holding back when you are going for a showstopper, and a wonderful place to start is with the vibrant 400 Multicolour LED String Lights.
These lights are perfect for creating a joyful, celebratory atmosphere. Wrap them around trees, your porch, or even your fence for a burst of colour. Add Multicolour Icicle Lights to add to the magic.
Complete the lighting extravaganza by lining your garden path with the joyful Candy Cane to welcome guests with a smile.
And if you want to truly share the wonder and magical fun of Christmas with the local children, add one of our fun inflatables, from our 6ft Pre-Lit Inflatable Animated Snowman to our Pre-Lit Inflatable Santa with Dog.
Don’t be afraid to mix different multicolour lights to create a unique and dynamic display.
The Big ‘Switch On!’
Whether you have created a traditional display or a festive fun-derland for the local kids, there is nothing quite as satisfying as the moment when your lighting display is turned on for the first time.
So why not make it a bit of an occasion? Invite your family, friends, and neighbours and use your big ‘switch on’ to celebrate the start of the festive season.
