An Unforgettable Entryway
Who said that entryways have to be boring? Transform your front door into a Christmas grotto with curtain lights. They can be hung vertically on either side of the door to create a waterfall light effect, the perfect welcoming addition to your home. Go for warm white lights to add a cozy aesthetic to the overall look.
Light Up Your Roofline
Rope lights can be used to light up the perimeter of your house this Christmas season. They are durable and boast a tubular design that gives an effortless unbroken line of light along the roof, with color options of warm or cool white-so you can get creative too. Why not do something different and opt for RGB string lights where you can change the colors depending on the holiday? They are easy to install and designed to withstand the winter weather!
Perfectly Lit Gardens
If you have hedges or shrubs in your garden that you want to decorate for Christmas, net lights are the best lights to use. Simple drape the pre-constructed lights over the area you want to cover for effortless full coverage. Classic warm white lights are a firm favorite to stand out among the hedges in the dark, or try the RGB string lights for a fun color-changing display.
Enchanted Pathway Glow
String lights can be used creatively to light up a walkway or driveway. Choose LED Christmas string lights in warm white for a subtle yet festive look. For an extra touch, why not add cluster lights on stakes along the edge too for a beautiful light combination that will leave people feeling magical before they even get into your house.
Illuminate Your Fence
Transform your fence into an eye-catching light display by decorating it with cluster lights. They have a compact, ball-like design that looks stunning when woven through a fence. If you want a longer, continuous glow why not choose rope lights? They have a smooth, even line of light that creates a stunning visual effect on the perimeter of your backyard.
Effortless Icicle Magic
You can hang icicle lights from eaves, gutters or porch overhangs to mimic the natural drip of real icicles. These have a beautiful visual effect that look magical and elegant, with choices of snowy-white or cool white lights so you can decide how you want them to look. For some extra festive flair, why not go for RGB string lights where you can cycle through colors?
