When you are out and about looking for that perfect lighting string for Christmas this holiday season, you may consider on a general type before you make a purchase. Christmas yard decorations have expanded into all shapes, sizes and effects that may or may not be suited to your specific home type.
So many people shopping for holiday decorations like to go with the simple yet elegant design; the result is a new popular lighting method of decoration: the spotlight. Using just a spotlight you can highlight a fabulous door decoration for a clean, bright look that draws the viewer to that very spot. This type of lighting is a fresh addition to traditional home decorating motifs.
Think about a traditional home in the colonial style complete with white siding and a magnificent, postcard-like red door. When you add a holiday wreath and a spotlight, you've created a wonderful, elegant holiday design that has all the traditional attraction of a holiday scene, with simplicity and appeal.
Many people like a little more dazzle especially if they live in a home that has a dark exterior. A log cabin house is best suited for a brighter Christmas lighting for the holiday that really illuminates the space. Lighting that boasts large bulbs or flashing lights are great for a darker house. Christmas yard decorating can be very elegant in this style, too.
Owners of cottage style homes might want to look into purchasing small twinkling lights. I have a small cottage house and I initially thought that perfect Christmas yard decorating would be big and flashy. So I purchased a bunch of holiday lights and I couldn't wait to see the display.
My husband and I have been a bit overwhelmed by our decorating efforts. We felt that our efforts at a display was wee bit over the top. You see, the actual decorations for the Christmas cottage outshone the house itself. As a result, the display seemed to take over our little cottage. That was a bit disappointing.
We decided after that to cut down a little. We passed on investing in icicle lights and flashing bulbs, going instead with just a few strings of twinkle lights more suited to our little cottage. I personally adore the thought that we can add a ton of twinkles and splashes of flashing lights during the holiday season. It just turns out that with our front, something subtle was a lot easier on the eyes.
If we owned a large house, all those big displays would be wonderful. Bigger houses can support extravagant house decorations. We cut back and decided to use the left-over decorations from the front in the back yard. We figured it would be less overpowering if we spread them around. - 16003
