Home for the Holidays: Quick Tips for Magical Lighting

Christmas is a beautiful time of year evoking a magical aura in the home. With home-cooked meals, meaningful tree ornaments and the sound of Christmas songs, this time is certainly one of joy. Let’s explore how you can create a home to match these happy yuletide sentiments with your home’s lighting.

• String lights: Can be used for more than just the Christmas tree! Think mantels, stairways to make any space more beautiful and Christmas-like.
  
• Window Lights: These lights can add a festive touch to your windows and can be seen from both inside and outside of your home.

• LED Candles: Can provide a lovely inviting atmosphere without the fire hazard.
  
• Garland with Lights: You can use garlands with built-in lights to decorate mantels, staircases, or doorways.
  
• Fairy Lights: Fairy lights are smaller and more delicate, perfect for adding a magical touch to any room.
  
• Lighted Decorations: Consider lighted decorations such as light-up figurines, lanterns, or snow globes to enhance your Christmas decor.

Maybe its also time to look at your home’s lighting, in general, for the rest of the year.

Here are some quick general lighting tips:

• Floor Lamps: Never go out of style. They are best in the corner of a living room and the yellow illumination is rejuvenating during the holidays and year-round.

• Accent Lights: Are a great way to highlight the appeal of a specific object, like artwork or an architectural design element. Strategic accent lights can bring artwork or home features to life!

• Wall Sconces: Save space with your lighting on the wall! These wall-mounted fixtures can light up the whole room and come in various shapes and sizes.

We hope that these illumination tips help you with your home lighting design this holiday and into the new year!
