The beauty of the holiday season is felt in many ways. From the smell of cinnamon and hot cocoa, to the presence of a friendly snowman greeting all who pass, the Christmas spirit lives through our traditions. But what truly makes the holidays merry and bright are the strands of colorful lights hung on Christmas trees, adorning houses and strung up on the eaves of buildings across town.
Two main types of lights are used to create the seasonal glow we’ve all come to love: single-color Christmas lights and multi-color Christmas lights. Light displays, inside and outside, have endless potential.
Maybe you’re expecting your children home from college for the holidays and want to create a winter wonderland that reminds them of when they were little kids. Or, perhaps you won’t be able to see some of your relatives this year and are determined to create a magical North Pole display to get into the holiday spirit.
A wide variety of options are available and the creative possibilities are endless. Choose single-color LED Christmas lights, multi-color LED lights or a combination of both to make your Christmas vision a reality.
Learn more about how you can create a desirable holiday ambiance with a few tips to make your home shine bright.
White Single-Color LED Christmas Lights
There is nothing more classic than a strand of soothing white lights hanging around your threshold during the holiday season. For those who want to rediscover that traditional holiday feel, choose white single-color Christmas lights for your front porch or attach the lights over your mantle. Make sure to pick LED bulbs, which provide high efficiency and will glow throughout the cold winter’s night. Elegant white lights never go out of style. White lights with a golden tint create a warm glow to help keep the chill away. These single-color LED Christmas lights are a great choice to create a defining display with design ideas to inspire for generations.
Single-Color LED Christmas Lights in Red, Green and Other Colors
From strawberry red mini-bulbs as rosy as your little one’s cheeks, to amber orange wide angle mini-lights that burn like a warm fire, single-color Christmas lights can beautifully decorate any space in your living room or yard. Draw attention to specific holiday lawn ornaments with lights that drape in the same color. Seasonal colors spruce up holiday decorations and a single-color rope, icicle or strand can make a modern statement, while staying true to the past.
Keep the Consistency
Single-color Christmas lights are an asset for any holiday lover, especially if you want to have a unique look to your décor. Neighborhoods are full of vibrant color during Christmastime – but truthfully, displays are often overdone. Finding the right balance is key to creating a lighting presentation that is truly your own.
Consistency when attaching, hanging or wrapping lights will go a long way toward appeasing the eye of the viewer. Use single-color Christmas light strands together to keep from scattering the focus. While tons of colors jumbled together may seem like the right move, it usually deters from a cohesive look. Place single-color Christmas lights around the edge of your garage while alternating additional one-color strands on the roof. Be careful not to overdo it. A couple of color variations for single-color ropes will do the trick for nearly any area you want to decorate. Don’t forget you’ll likely have ornaments, signs, wreaths and other holiday favorites to display as well.
Multi-Color LED Christmas Lights
Looking for the “WOW” factor this Christmas? Take your holiday decorations to the max with multi-color LED lights that burst with brightness around the Christmas tree or out in the yard. While too many multi-color lights can distort from the overall image, not enough might leave your seasonal decorating a bit thin. As we’ve said, it’s all about the balance. An easy way to get started is by using traditional multi-color LED rope lights or multi-color icicle Christmas lights that include red, green, gold and blue (the season’s most traditional colors.) If you’re looking to step up your game this year, consider multi-color snowflakes or extravagant Illuminated Bows to delight your neighbors.
Twinkling Christmas Lights
Make an impression by choosing twinkling Christmas lights, and create an interactive, musical or moving outdoor display. Kids and adults alike agree that awe-inspiring, elaborate outdoor Christmas light displays are gifts that keep on giving. Take holiday decorating to a new level with a light display that even Clark Griswold and Cousin Eddie would be proud of. Hang glistening lights on your outdoor trees or adorn your hedges with lights that change color. Once you’ve laid these as the foundation for your lighting display, consider adding lights that are synced to music or even work in collaboration with moving ornaments. Capture the imagination of neighborhood kids with a dashing Santa and red-nosed Rudolph, who’ve seemingly just landed on your roof.
Make it Modern
In today’s world, some of the most advanced technology is available when it comes to putting multi-color Christmas lights on your house or inside it. In addition to the efficiency that LED lights provide, now you can even program your lights with the help of your smartphone. Many multi-color LED lights today are app-controlled, allowing for a vast assortment of designs, features and colors that can be directed from your device. Be a tech-savvy elf this Christmas with the latest modern trends in holiday decorating.
Bonus Tip: Forget the Mess
There are solutions to better organize both single-color and multi-color Christmas lights. It’s great to see all of your lights on display but what about when it’s time to put them away? Untangling messy light strands can be a hassle. These issues can easily be resolved by using a Christmas light spool. Looking for a DIY solution? Take the tube of an empty paper towel roll and wrap your lights around the outside. You can then thread a section down the middle to hold everything in place.
The only thing worse than a tangle are lights that don’t work after being removed from storage. Maybe some of your outdoor lights have stopped working, if last year’s heavy snow and cold took a toll. Consider upgrading to commercial grade light strings that remain durable for several seasons.
