Where Do You Put Outdoor Christmas Lights?

Outdoor Christmas lights are a festive way to celebrate the holiday season and make your home look beautiful. With so many options available, it can be difficult to decide where to put them. Here are some tips on how to best place outdoor Christmas lights.

Start with the Roofline
The roofline is one of the most visible areas of your house and therefore it’s a great place to start when decorating with outdoor Christmas lights. When placing lights on your roofline, focus on the gables and any other areas that make up the peak of the roof.

You can even use extension cords and ladders if needed to reach higher points. Make sure you use appropriate clips or hooks so that the lights stay securely in place and don’t cause any damage.

Wrap Trees with Lights
Wrapping trees with outdoor Christmas lights is a great way to add more color and light to your display. Start at the bottom of the tree, wrapping each branch in an upward spiral pattern until you get to the top.

Use green or white wire for a more subtle look, or colorful wire for a more vibrant display. Be careful not to wrap too tightly as this could damage branches and leaves.

Hang Lights from Porch
If you have an overhang or porch at your home, hanging lights from this area can be an easy way to add festive cheer without having to climb ladders or use extension cords. You can hang strings of icicle or C9 bulbs along the edge of the porch for a classic look, or use LED net lighting for an eye-catching effect that will really stand out against darker backgrounds like brick walls or fences.

Conclusion:

When decorating with outdoor Christmas lights, it’s important to find creative places where they can be displayed safely and securely. Start with your roofline, then wrap trees with lights and hang strings from porches for a complete look that will bring joy to your neighborhood this holiday season!
