Blog Twinkling Traditions: DeLoera's Guide to Perfect Holiday Light Displays Aug 09, 2024

The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it's time to start thinking about all things festive, including your outdoor holiday light display. At DeLoera Total Lawncare, we specialize in landscaping and Christmas light installation services, and we're here to help you create the perfect holiday light display for your home. In this blog post, we'll share our top tips and tricks for creating a show-stopping holiday light display that will impress all your friends and neighbors.

First and foremost, consider the size and style of your home when planning your holiday light display. If you have a large, grand home, you may want to go all out with a big, bold display that covers every inch of your property. On the other hand, if you have a smaller home, a more modest display that focuses on the key areas like the roofline and bushes may be more appropriate. Think about what will best complement the style of your home and enhance its features.

Next, think about color scheme. While traditional red and green lights are always a classic choice, don't be afraid to get creative with your color palette. Consider incorporating different colors like blue, white, or even multicolored lights to add a unique and eye-catching touch to your display. Just make sure the colors you choose complement each other and don't clash.

When it comes to actually installing your lights, take your time and be meticulous. Start by outlining the key features of your home, such as the roofline, windows, and doors, before moving on to other areas like trees, shrubs, and fences. Use clips and hooks to secure your lights in place and avoid damaging your property. And always make sure to follow safety guidelines and use outdoor-rated lights to prevent electrical hazards.

In addition to traditional string lights, consider incorporating other types of lighting elements into your display. Twinkling icicle lights hanging from the eaves, sparkling net lights draped over bushes, or even lighted holiday figures like reindeer or snowmen can add depth and dimension to your display. Mixing different types of lights and elements can create a visually stunning and dynamic look that will capture the attention of all who pass by.

Finally, don't forget to have fun with your holiday light display! Whether you prefer a classic and elegant look or a whimsical and playful theme, let your creativity shine through in your design. Remember, the holidays are a time to spread joy and cheer, so make your outdoor display a reflection of that festive spirit.
