Create Neighborhood Unity with Outdoor Christmas Lighting
When I think of Christmas’ past, the first memories that come to mind are of driving around different neighborhoods on the eve before Christmas looking at outdoor Christmas lighting. I’ve lived in at least a dozen different neighborhoods, from city to suburban, apartment to single family house. The thread that ties these communities together during the holidays is the beautiful outdoor Christmas lighting décor. The many different sizes and shapes of Xmas lights combined with different cultures and personalities, come together to create a unique and varied outdoor Christmas lighting display. Some people choose a minimalistic approach while others spend many days planning and decorating their outdoors. Outdoor Christmas lighting can be as creative and unique as the imagination can muster.
Accentuate your home with Landscape lighting
A beautiful way to highlight a building is with landscape lighting. A multi-color or all-monochromatic theme can be quite stunning and eye-catching. Landscape lighting adds curb-appeal and really makes your home shine. Monochromatic bursts of color, when each tree or shrub is wrapped in a bold statement of color, makes landscape lighting looks stunning. The all white monochromatic theme makes landscape lighting look elegant and sophisticated. Multi-color lighting can dazzle the senses and bring cheer to your landscape lighting.
Add fun and laughter using Novelty lighting
A favorite Xmas lights display of mine from years ago was a neighborhood block where each house used a Charlie Brown and Snoopy themed display of novelty lighting. Each home had a different story to tell and we wondered how new homeowners to the community felt about being told they had to participate in the yearly novelty lighting. Novelty lighting can put a smile on a child’s face when they recognize a favorite character or unique display. Novelty lighting is a creative and fun way to decorate with Xmas lights.
Check out this patriotic holiday light set. Wit red, white and blue icicle lights it makes an ideal home decoration for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July or even Labor Day. One of many novelty lighting ideas for the all-American holidays, this represents an interesting new evolution of outdoor Christmas lighting ideas. Using your imagination, staples such as icicle holiday lights can be applied in many unique and exciting new ways.
According to “Selling Halloween” magazine, Halloween is the biggest holiday for outdoor lighting following Christmas. One of the most popular choices for outdoor lighting at Halloween is icicle holiday lights–but this time in orange, green or even purple. Orange and green are traditional, but over the last few years purple has been seeing increasing action as a trendy color for Halloween products. We’d imagine this is due to its particularly eerie-looking nature.
Even more unusual are icicle lights that have taken on interesting shapes in celebration of holidays other than Christmas. Just one example is this string of cascading spider icicle lights–a particularly creepy way to get your icicles on.
Even more surprising were these heart and shamrock icicle lights we found. Perfect for novelty lighting projects at Valentine’s Day and St.Patrick’s Day, these unique products are sure to be the talk of the town.
Every year, as the holiday season approaches, millions of Americans arm themselves with ladders, lights and boxes of ornaments for the purpose of decorating their homes for Christmas. While some enjoy the work that goes into this process, many consider it a burden and may even opt to not decorate at all in order to spare themselves the trouble. But for a nominal fee, those who want their homes to exude holiday cheer without them having to put in the labor can hire decorating professionals to give their yards a look that will slow the pace of any passers-by.
Besides the obvious benefits of not spending the time to decorate and avoiding the risk of injury, those who hire professional decorators also gain the luxury of an outside perspective when it comes to the design scheme of their outdoor Christmas décor.
