Here at Christmas Light Source, we're all about spreading holiday cheer, but we also know how to celebrate the magic of each season.
So, ditch the storage boxes and get ready to transform your space with some autumnal illumination!
Warm Up Your Welcome:
-
Entryway Ambiance: String warm white or soft yellow LED lights across your porch or drape them down your doorway. Add a fall wreath adorned with pinecones and mini pumpkins for a welcoming touch. Accent those add-ons with a string or two of battery lights
-
Pathway Glow: Line your walkway with yellow or amber C7 or C9 light strings for a magical entrance. Opt for warm white or amber lights to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Light Up the Landscape:
-
Trees in Twinkle: Wrap your trees in strings of warm white or orange LED lights. These colors mimic the fiery hues of fall foliage and add a touch of whimsy to your yard.
-
Festive Fence Line: String lights along your fence line to create a border of warm light.
Indoor Inspiration:
-
Autumnal Mantlepiece: Drape warm white or orange lights across your mantlepiece. Add fall foliage, pinecones, and miniature pumpkins for a festive display. Light some scented candles, place them around the room, and snuggle up with a good book! (A pumpkin spice candle can feel like Fall even in 90 degree temps!)
-
Luminous Lanterns: Fill glass lanterns or mason jars with cool under operation LED string lights or battery lights and fallen leaves for a beautiful centerpiece or accent piece on your shelves.
Beyond the Basics:
-
DIY Delights: Use string lights to create a fall-themed wall hanging. Cut out leaves from colored paper or felt, weave them onto the lights, and let your creativity shine!
-
Lighted Centerpiece: Decorate a large bowl by filling it with pinecones, acorns, and fall foliage. Intertwine LED (low-heat) string lights throughout the arrangement for a touch of magic.
Choosing the Perfect Lights:
-
LED is the Way to Go When Heat Matters: LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce minimal heat. They're perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
Color Coordination: Opt for warm white, soft yellow, or orange for a classic fall feel. You can even try multi-colored lights for a more playful look.
-
Consider Timers: Utilize timers to automate your light displays. This is not only convenient but also helps conserve energy.
With a little creativity and the right lights, you can transform your home into a haven of fall beauty! So, dust off your Christmas lights, explore the ideas above, and get ready to celebrate the magic of autumn!
Happy Decorating!
