Start with the tree, then look outside
Most holiday homes begin with one centerpiece: a fresh Christmas tree in the living room. Once it is in place, it becomes easier to picture the rest of the house, including the entryway, the staircase, the patio and the front of the home.
Walk around your home in the evening and notice what people see first from the street and from the front door. Those are good places to start your lighting plan.
Indoor lighting that feels warm
For the tree itself, simple strands of mini lights are a classic choice. Bella Christmas Trees offers 100-count mini lights in white and in color, plus a lighted star tree topper in white or color, so your tree can be finished the day it arrives.
Beyond the tree, think about garland along a banister, lights around a doorway or a glowing wreath above a mantel. Keep a single color temperature throughout a room, whether warm white or colorful, so everything feels connected.
Outdoor lighting, South Florida style
Palm trees, rooflines, pool decks and front entries all make beautiful backdrops for holiday lights. In South Florida, outdoor displays also need to handle sun, rain, wind and salt air near the water, so outdoor-rated products and careful installation matter.
If you live in a gated community, condo or HOA neighborhood, check the rules for outdoor decorations, timing and installation before you plan a larger display.
