Holiday lighting design comes in two forms: gaudy and elegant. We all know a gaudy holiday lighting plan when we see it – it’s the yard cluttered in a chaotic mess of cheap inflatable snowmen and a house 
hidden in a rainbow glare of contradicting colors. However, with the right Christmas lighting design, holiday lighting is an easy way to add a unique, seasonal touch of yuletide ambiance to your home and yard.
As every property has a different landscape and every homeowner a unique taste, a holiday lighting contractor specializing in holiday lighting design will ensure your home inspires onlookers with an elegant sense of the holiday spirit – instead of blinding them by it.
Just like flowerbeds in the spring, Christmas lighting design is a seasonal landscaping technique. As with a flowerbed, any holiday lighting plan should be seen as an extension of your landscaping design – not a landscaping plan itself.
This being said, with a professional holiday lighting design your Christmas lights will work to accent the strengths of your home’s exterior and landscaping. The landscaping and home should remain the focal point – not the Christmas lighting design.
If your landscaping plan is centered around a grove of unique trees or a boutique garden with a white picket arbor, your holiday lighting plan should accent these features. A holiday lighting design should 
incorporate placing lights on the trees and around the arbor in order to create a shadow-like silhouette of these items at night.
Does your house have a large picture window framing the perfectly decorated Christmas tree? Then your holiday lighting plan should accentuate this feature with single color lights enclosing the window and drawing the viewer’s attention towards the tree.
The available colors of holiday lights stretch across the color spectrum. When choosing a holiday lighting design, one should approach the issue of colors just as if one were choosing the colors of an outfit or the color of paint for a room.
The rule for using colors in a Christmas lighting plan is to not get carried away. A single color of light, such as white, captures the surreal ambiance of winter. Using two complementing colors, such as red and white or white and blue, will reflect an elegant feeling of warmth and holiday spirit.
With the endless choices of outdoor holiday decorations and holiday lights on the market, it is easy to go too far. The best way to create an elegant holiday lighting plan is to work with a trained professional.
