The holidays are officially upon us! For many of us, much of the pleasure of this time of year comes from getting into the spirit by decorating your home with all your favorite festive touches. Whether you add a bit of sparkle to your space or incorporate seasonal family heirlooms into your decor, filling your house with holiday accents brings warmth and cheer to the chilly, long nights. And don’t forget your yard and porch as well. As you prepare for the hustle and bustle that the season will bring, decorating outdoors as well as in will have maximum effect!
One of the easiest ways to prepare your home for the holidays is to add some festive outdoor lighting. Creating a glistening scene will give guests an inviting welcome when they arrive for dinners or parties you may be hosting. As well, your neighbors will appreciate your tasteful, glowing setting as a cheerful addition to the neighborhood! Finally, you yourself can enjoy your outdoor lighting every time you look out the window and see it sparkling as the sun sets on a cold evening.
There are several ways to add outdoor lighting to your yard this holiday season, and there are plenty of styles to suit any home. A polished nickel outdoor sconce injects flash of brilliance beside your front door, while a more traditional post mount light fixture can make your home more visible from the street. A scrollwork sconce will cast magical shadows into the night, and a lantern style pocket sconce conjures up images of old-fashioned holidays gone by. Finally, a brass outdoor sconce with frosted glass injects refinement and flair to any porch setting—and it’s a welcome fixture from which to hang greenery or other decor. With festive outdoor lighting, the holiday season will shine brightly indeed!
