Christmas Lights Are Not Just for the Holidays

xmaslights

Do you decorate your apartment with Christmas lights?  If not, now might be the time to buy some.  Lights can be a surprisingly versatile way to add some decorative charm to your home all year round!

  • Tube lighting in your bathroom will certainly keep the festive cheer going throughout your house (and it has an artistic vibe that can hang around once the holidays are done).
  • Pinning a white sheet on the ceiling where white Christmas lights are hiding behind will give the room an ethereal glow.
  • Try placing an entire string of lights into a loosely woven basket and placing it up high on a shelf. You'll get tiny specks of light peeking through which will make the basket glitter.
  • This is a great way to cover up the lighting eyesore (in this case, a chandelier). Try putting the strand on a dimmer to regulate the output of light.
  • Try tacking a strand of Christmas lights or tube lighting underneath kitchen cabinets or on the underside of your bed frame for a nice ambient light source.
