As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, what better way to brighten up the days than by adding Christmas lights to your décor? Decorating with lights is perfect for both indoors and outdoors. Lights attract so much attention that just by adding them to the right places you will be able to spread the Holiday spirit around your home and even your neighbourhood.

SPREAD THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT BY ILLUMINATING YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

Christmas lights are one of the easiest ways to create a festive and cozy atmosphere. It's a practical way to decorate, because string lights can be wrapped around most things, which makes them ideal for balconies, shrubs, trees, and gates.

Combine simple string lights with a hanging curtain light set to cover a larger area and stand out on your street! Another way of decorating an outdoor area is to use charming lanterns. Consider putting a few lanterns next to your front door or on your balcony, with LED candles or string lights inside. Just make sure that your lanterns stand on a safe surface and preferably with a bit of shelter!

USE ONLY LIGHTS SUITABLE FOR OUTDOORS

When putting up your Christmas lights, make sure that the string lights are intended for outdoor use. Indoor Christmas lighting may not belong outdoors. If a string light is suitable for outdoor use, this will be clearly stated on the packaging and labels.

BRING THE LIGHTS INSIDE

Once you have taken care of your outdoor space, you will want to decorate your interiors. Bring the warmth inside and create a bright and cozy atmosphere with illuminated decorative branches or LED decorations.

ADD A LITTLE SPARKLE WITH CURTAIN LIGHTS

Drape a sweet string light around the doorway or a shimmering wall of string lights by adding a curtain light set to the window to create a beautiful backdrop. This can make for a beautiful, cozy nook or corner in your house where you will want to cuddle up with a good book and a hot drink, with Christmas music playing in the background.

AN ILLUMINATED CENTERPIECE

Centerpieces are a must on your Christmas table, but it is advisable to choose them carefully and think carefully about where you are going to place them so that they do not obstruct the movements or the vision of the diners.

For a warm, natural look, try combining string lights and pine branches or other twigs and placing them in a bowl, clear vase, or small mirror as a centerpiece for the dinner table. Or add string lights along the table-runner to add warmth and light during your holiday dinner.

LIGHT UP SOME CANDLES

Don't forget to light up candles to add a little magic to your décor. Candles never fail – they dress, decorate, illuminate, and add warmth. Combine different candle holders to decorate your Christmas dining table and place them as a centerpiece or along the table runner.
