Transform Your Home With Fairy Lights

By: Kathryn Dawson Home | Home-and-Family | Home-Improvement


If you think back to the magic moments in your life, you'll surely remember the many wonderful festivals you celebrated with family and friends. Christmas, birthdays and weddings need that special festive touch to be truly memorable. If you have a special day coming up, you'll be pleased to know there's a fast and easy way to make it an event to remember - just transform your home into a place of festivity with fairy lights.

Christmas is the main time for using fairy lights but are you using them to their best advantage? When it comes to indoor fairy lights, you have a huge range of colours and styles to choose from.

Choosing the right colour is the key to creating your desired mood. For a traditional Yuletide feel, choose lights of white and gold; blue brings a relaxing feel to any room, while red is livelier creating a party atmosphere.

Style wise, other than the traditional strands that are draped over Xmas trees, you can get curtain lights - an array of strands which hang down from a main wire. There are perfect for use on windows and doorways.

Then there are net lights which can be cast over objects such as furniture and bushes. Also you can opt for the highly flexible rope lights. These are long strings which are especially suited for outdoor use. They can be wrapped around trees, posts and other structures.

You also have a range of effects to choose from. These include static, flickering and twinkling. Static lights create a more tranquil effect while twinkling provide a relaxing cadence of illumination. Flickering lights radiate energy and are perfect for parties.

Don't forget the outdoors. Fairy lights strung on your trees or cascading down from your eaves can add an irresistible sparkle to your gardens and patio and imbue those drab winter nights with a festive glow. Static blue lights create a dazzling glow while multi coloured fairy lights create an amazing effect.

With so much variety at your disposal, you need to make a plan rather than just draping your lights over the Xmas tree and leaving it at that.

You can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. You might just opt for a simple set up of indoor fairy lights with a few colours to create warm, festive feeling. If you have children, arranging lights around door frames creates a magical ambience for children and gives them the feeling of entering an enchanted room.

When it comes to indoor fairy lights, the possibilities are endless, you really need to find out what's available and think about how you can best use them.

The great thing about fairy lights is that they're not just for Christmas. You can use them to add sparkle to any occasion both inside and outside the home. Birthdays always seem more festive with coloured lights strung up around the room and a wedding celebration is magical with white and pink bulbs glowing. Engagement parties, baby showers, graduation celebrations - the list of occasions that can benefit from fairy lights is endless.

When it comes to buying your lights, here are a few things to consider.

Modern fairy lights mainly feature LEDs (light emitting diodes). These bulbs are extremely economical and long lasting. They're also very cool and virtually unbreakable. LED fairy lights will give you years and years of safe use.

Also you can get battery powered and solar fairy lights. These give you great flexibility as you don't need to have a power socket handy. Battery powered lights can run for up to 36 hours and solar lights soak up the sun's energy during the day to power your lights in the evening.

If you want to transform your garden into a winter wonderland, look into using fairy lights. Whether blue fairy lights for a relaxing living room or rope lights to illuminate your garden, they're the best way to bring the magic to any occasion.

Fairy lights are the ideal, affordable way to transform your home into that special place for celebration. To see the huge range available, just visit the web sites of the UK's leading vendors and make your choice from their illustrated catalogues. Just place your order for prompt delivery and start transforming your home into a festive place.
