Festive decorations are always some of the most fun things to do with family, friends and loved ones. It is a challenge to beautify the outside of your home with your favourite holiday lighting, especially if you prefer the distinct lighting design. Making it simple is a good choice because sometimes a simple way makes the best results. 

Several details for home beauty

Framework focus on Holiday lighting is not complicated, but learning where to begin is important. Starting from the centre to the outside is the best way to lighting the outside of your home. Some brilliant details such as gables, arches, chimneys and other roof characters may be highlighted to display, it is vital to keep the best balance. Instead of using lights to cover your entire house or yard, you may try an easy method, consider to make an outline along the gutter line or cross the peak of the rooftop as the focus, which is more effective.

View characters

If you would rather show your yard, then shrubs and trees are in the right place, especially since they allow you a better view of the main entrance of your house. A canopy wrap of lights for shrubs and a branch wrap of lights for ornamental trees are recommended by Phelps, decorating walkways and boarders of the garden beds with lights also make the design looks better. When the lighting decoration is completely done, your outdoor sculpture or water feature such as a fountain could not show.

Colour options

All-white is still considered as the classical choice. However Phelps claims, a lot of people have a trend to choose the colour, one of the most popular is red, white and green combination. We see someone who uses all-green last year, and one of the most special combinations is green and blue. Nothing lasts forever.

Decorative improvement   Some people may decorate not only their yard or home. You can do something, like a manger scene or populating an area of your yard to make it. Be innovative, take an example, you could make a tunnel along the driveway and illuminate your cars underneath.

Make sure to follow the below safety warnings ensuring your Christmas decorating a big success if you are a DIY maker.

1. Check the wires

Wires are fragile, they are likely to bend in the cold, so you could have non-working sockets, Phelps warns. If they donĄŊt work well, throw them away. It is dangerous if you use the broken wires, in case it burns down your house, it is not worth risking just to save several dollars.

2. Attention to electrical

More than five or six strands are not allowed to connect at the same time when plugging strings of lights together, and donĄŊt make the circuit overloaded, meanwhile, in order to get an outlet, you also need to tighten the strands right, terrible weather in winter causes wiring surface damaged, which may lead to danger. If you are doing home decorating, make sure not to use any groundwater.

3. Be careful in working

Make sure the ladder in good and safe condition, which should be located on a flat place. DonĄŊt work alone, have some accompany you so that he can provide any help if you need. And if the roof is too high or something, donĄŊt risk yourself doing it, ask someone professionally for help.

4. Take your lights down when the holiday is over

Just like you need to put off your fashion dresses when a party is over, take your lights down after this holiday, donĄŊt forget that, otherwise they may bother your neighbours. On the other hand, the lights, wires and sockets may get damaged due to longĻCtime exposure to the weather.
