2014 Trends for Decking the Landscaping Halls with Boughs of Lighting

Black Friday is not just a big shopping day, it’s also a day to deck the halls, inside and out. This holiday season trend will be adding a bit more color to holiday landscaping.

Although Christmas is a holiday filled with traditions, your lighting and décor does not need to be old fashioned. Here are a few lighting trends to watch for during this holiday decorating season:

Adding color:
Warm, white lights still are the most popular outdoor decor, but a lot of people are asking for more colors in their holiday design, trending away from the conservative traditional style. Multi-colored, red, blue, green and yellow lights will be illuminating holiday cheer in many neighborhoods this season. Mixing and alternating colors will reveal a signature look.

LEDs will be Lighting the Path
LEDs are becoming more and more popular. Although they initially cost more, they last longer and only use 15% of the electricity of traditional lights. Another perk is that they do not break as easily. The difference between LED and traditional incandescent is nearly undetectable unless you have them sitting side by side in front of you. The color in LEDs has been perfected with a pop and glow that out shines the hue of incandescent lighting.

Animation of Christmas:
Christmas light and music shows are beginning to appear in neighborhoods across the country with lights flashing to music. The traditional animated decorations of reindeers grazing, snowmen waving and lighted blow-up lawn ornaments are still in season.

Natural Alternatives:
Lighted greenery give light designs a natural look. Wrap banisters with lighted garland or hang lighted wreaths on doors or in windows. Tree and shrub wrapping also provide a natural and stunning look that will surely stop traffic.

This season’s trend is leaning towards clean, crisp and traditional with a splash of color.
