Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! As we step into January, it's likely that you'll start removing those Christmas decorations soon. Although we'd love to keep Christmas decor up throughout the year, we know most need to be stored away. However, there's one decoration that you can cleverly use all year-round to add charm to any space—Christmas lights. Before you pack those lights away, take a moment to see how you can make the festive atmosphere last all year.
Illuminate Your Photographs
Undoubtedly, your home contains several cherished photos. Traditionally, you might display them in frames on your mantel. But, why not try something unique and light up these pictures with mini lights? Suspend a string of lights from your ceiling and attach your photos using clothespins. This creative arrangement can become a great conversation starter.
Enclose Light in Mason Jars
Who doesn't enjoy a good DIY project? Combining battery-operated lights with mason jars gives you a chance to craft an easy and attractive nightlight. Use a clear mason jar and fill it with white lights for a sophisticated look. Feeling crafty? Decorate your mason jar and add colorful lights for a vibrant touch. It's an affordable way to infuse a romantic ambiance into your decor.
Enhance Bedroom Lighting with Icicle Lights
We all admire how enchanting icicle lights appear along gutters during the festive season, but did you know they can look just as lovely in your bedroom year-round? If you (or your children) seek a decorative way to brighten up the bedroom, icicle lights might be the ideal solution. Drape a strand of lights along your wall in any design you prefer. A little hint; the closer the lights, the better the effect. Once plugged in, these lights will beautifully illuminate your room!
Elegant Window Lighting Using Mini Lights
It's evident that windows are one of your home's key features. Now, what if we suggested a way to bring some light into your space through your windows at night? Try outlining your windows with mini lights for additional illumination. It's more playful than a lamp or ceiling lights and perfect for an apartment or a teenager's room. We suggest using clear lights for a sophisticated look. Seeking a stylish way to light up your home? This is an excellent choice!
Add Sleekness to Any Space with Christmas Lights & Ornaments
For those of us who never want Christmas to end, why not keep some favorite decorations visible? With a clear vase or decorative bowl, you can display some favorite glass ball ornaments paired with battery-operated lights to create a decoration that can be enjoyed all year long. Try to create a color palette that complements the ornaments, such as gold and silver.
If you're someone who dislikes storing away Christmas decorations, there are many ways to use them year-round. Christmas lights are adaptable and can create stunning displays in your home. How will you incorporate them into your home decor?
