December is the time for choosing Christmas decorations, decorating homes and gardens. Do you know which accessories to bet on to make it striking and original at the same time? Christmas lighting works great! Choose both models of lamps that match the interior of your home and those with which to adorn the property.
Outdoor lighting, or Christmas lights for the garden and balcony
If you live in a house with a garden, you may have already decorated trees or alleys more than once in December. What if you live in a block of flats? Don’t give up on outdoor Christmas lights! Just opt for finer, less grandiose models. What kind of Christmas lighting will work best?
- If you live with younger children, you will probably bring them the most joy if you put illuminated reindeer or Santa’s sleigh in the garden!
And in the block? On the balcony there can be smaller installations – let them be decorative Christmas trees or stars that you fix to the walls and railing.
- Do you prefer more elegant solutions? In the garden you can bet on white-lit light decorations – Christmas trees. After dark, they are deceptively reminiscent of snow-covered trees and build a winter mood on your property! Set such decorations as early as November and leave them in the garden even until spring.
- An elegantly decorated balcony? Christmas tree lights will suffice, which you will impressively sweep around the railing! Just pay attention to their technical parameters – the lights must be suitable for use at low temperatures and increased humidity!
Another good solution for a balcony is to set up small white Christmas lights in the shape of Christmas trees. They can be on the balcony floor, windowsill or table. For a better effect, arrange conifer branches around the lamps – the composition will look impressive not only after dark, but also during the day!
- A decoration of lights wrapped around trees also always works well in the garden. Decorate small trees in their entirety. For larger ones, place the lights only on the branches. If you choose this form of garden decoration, do not save excessively! You will only get an interesting effect if you carefully wrap the trees with lights. A single string of lights sloppily cast on a few branches is unlikely to add any charm to your garden.
Christmas lighting as window decorations
Do you like simple yet eye-catching solutions? In that case, your home can’t miss Christmas lights that will serve as window decorations! Choose individual stars in different sizes and place them in the window. LED lights with a warm yellow light color will look best. This will make it more atmospheric and cozy inside the house as well.
Instead of star-shaped Christmas lights, you can also bet on round ones resembling luminous Christmas wreaths. Finally, the Christmas lights placed in the window in the shape of ice icicles look interesting. Such lamps should give light of cool white color.
Modern Christmas lights: a light curtain!
Light curtains are becoming increasingly popular, not only during the holiday season. Do you know what such an ornament is? These are a few or a dozen lights connected together, with which you can quickly occupy the entire window area or a selected wall space. In December, light curtains installed in windows will add a unique holiday atmosphere to any interior in minutes.
Also use ornaments of this type if you are organizing a Christmas Eve dinner. Attach a light curtain to the wall behind the table for the occasion. You are sure to surprise your guests and create an amazing mood! If you want it to be elegant, choose a curtain of lights with a bright, cool light color. Do you care about making your dining room cozy? Opt for a curtain that emits warm yellow light!
Subtle Christmas lighting, or ceramic table lamps and candlesticks
When arranging interiors for the holiday season, don’t forget about the details! They, like nothing else, build the atmosphere. Just put a small candlestick or Christmas table lamps in the living room or dining room, and the interior will immediately become more cozy!
When choosing candle holders, be sure to match them with tealights with the right fragrance for the occasion. Which one? Let it be the scent of spices, gingerbread, oranges, vanilla or spruce twigs.
Christmas lamps that are worth setting on the table, on the other hand, are classic models that will add elegance to the interior. They will also make an interesting decoration for the Christmas Eve table. What to bet on? Choose a tree-shaped lamp with small bulbs on the tops of the branches. Another model is a lamp – a Christmas tree decorated with crystals. Such a lamp diffuses the light beautifully and adds a glow to the interior!
Christmas is a time for loved ones. A time to slow down a bit and replace the daily rush with family meetings and conversations. The right mood at home will certainly help. The warm, cozy atmosphere invites you to take a seat at the table or on the couch and be together. It doesn’t take much to create it – just the right Christmas lights!
