The holidays will be here soon, and with them comes the joy of decorating your home for the season. But with so many architectural styles and lighting options, choosing the right combination can feel overwhelming. Fear not, festive friends! This guide will help you illuminate your home’s unique character with Christmas lights that perfectly complement its architectural style.

Classic Charm:

Stately abodes with symmetrical lines and prominent features deserve lighting that emphasizes their grandeur. Opt for warm white or incandescent lights strung across your rooflines, outlining windows and doors. Garlands with white or multi-colored lights can adorn doorways and railings for a touch of whimsy. For Victorian homes, icicle lights cascading from the eaves add a touch of fairytale magic!

Mid-Century Marvels:

Clean lines and geometric shapes define these homes. Embrace the minimalist aesthetic with clean white LED lights accentuating the home’s horizontal lines. String lights can outline the edges of the roof or follow the geometric patterns of the architecture. Consider using spotlights to highlight architectural details or showcase a festive tree inside large picture windows.

Modern Masterpieces:

For contemporary homes with sleek lines and innovative materials, go bold with your lighting choices. Experiment with color-changing LED lights or pixel lights that can be programmed to create dynamic displays. String lights can be used in unexpected ways, outlining architectural features or creating geometric patterns. Don’t be afraid to embrace the modern aesthetic with unique lighting fixtures that complement the home’s design.
