While you are out and about shopping for that perfect outdoor Christmas lighting suite for your home, give special consideration to the type of home you have. While available Christmas yard decorations have grown to include all shapes, sizes and effects, some may or may not be suited to your specific home type.
Many people like to keep holiday decorating simple and elegant. One of the hottest Christmas lights for house decoration is the spotlight. You can feature a great holiday door decoration with a clean, bright spotlight on the feature. This type of Christmas light for house decor is great for traditional homes.
For instance, think about a traditional home in the colonial style complete with white siding and a magnificent, postcard-like, red door. If you add a holiday wreath in green splendor, spotlight it all, you've created a wonderful, elegant holiday design. It has all the traditional appeal of a holiday scene and simplicity.
There are a lot of people who also like to add dazzle and pizzazz to their exterior decorations. Think of putting a log cabin house with a Christmas light outside on the lawn to brighten a dark exterior and entertain passers-by. Spotlights will really illuminate the scene and with larger flashing bulbs, a dark outside will suddenly come alive. Even with this style, Christmas yard decorating can be very elegant.
For those who own a more cottage-style home, small twinkling lights can prove to be very well suited and decorative for the small outside facade. While some might go for big and flashy, smaller fronts fare better when the decorations are subtle and the display sized accordingly. Still I bought a bunch of gaudy holiday lights and could not wait to see them on 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.
After that we decided to cut back a little. No investing in icicle lights and flashing bulbs, instead we decided on just a few strings of twinkle lights would be more suited to our little cottage. I absolutely love the thought that we can add lots of twinkles and splashes of flashing lights during the Christmas season. It just turns out that with the front of our cottage being so small, subtlety would be a lot easier on the eyes.
Owning a larger house would suit those big displays and would be wonderful. Bigger houses can show off extravagant house decorations. So we cut back this year and decided to use the left-over decorations from the front yard in the back. We decided that would be best and easier on the eyes if we spread them around.
