Frame illumination. Holiday decoration: Christmas lights at home

A holiday is always joy and fun. And what can bring more joy than celebrating the New Year? Of course, bright and colorful New Year's illumination.

Without appropriate lighting, the holiday will no longer be such a fun and joyful event. Without lights on the Christmas tree, inside the house and on the street, it is impossible to create a truly festive mood, which children especially love. Our article will tell you how to make the New Year an even brighter holiday with your own hands.

Features of Christmas lighting

New Year's illumination is a light decorative design of the street, as well as buildings, landscape elements and trees to give a festive atmosphere. In creating such illumination today, you can use a wide variety of lighting devices and installations:

• New Year's garlands. Most often they can be found on the Christmas tree, as well as inside buildings. But they are also actively used, especially recently, to decorate the street, trees, as well as the facade of buildings;

Note! Using New Year's garlands on the street, it is necessary to choose those models that are designed to work outside.

Christmas garlands on a tree

• various flashlights and lamps;
• candles. This option is more relevant for the home.

Often such illumination, if done on a grand scale, affects the street and the facade of buildings. It was the spread of this trend that led to the emergence of a huge assortment of the most diverse street New Year's lighting. If earlier the whole thing was limited to only a couple of Christmas tree garlands, today, if desired, your house and the territory adjacent to it can be illuminated in the most incredible way.

Option for outdoor Christmas illumination

Here you can use a variety of garlands, and luminous figures of deer and snowmen, organizing a unique illumination of each separate area and thus creating a real New Year's show for children.
And everything can be easily implemented with your own hands. The main thing is that you have the desire to install all this, as well as finances for the purchase of the necessary lighting equipment.

Note! The main factor in the success of the New Year's illumination is your imagination.

Options for organizing New Year's lighting

New Year's illumination includes two stages:

• inside the house. Here it is necessary to decorate the Christmas tree with garlands, as well as the most spectacular elements of the interior (for example, a fireplace);

New Year's illumination inside the house

• New Year's illumination of the house outside. Here you are no longer constrained by four walls and a ceiling, but have at your disposal the entire space of your garden area to make the illumination more exciting and original.

Working with outdoor Christmas lighting with your own hands, you should understand exactly where it is possible at all. To date, for the placement of lighting devices it is customary to use:

• porch. You do not need to go far from home, because on the porch there is already enough space for the manifestation of your imagination. Here you can illuminate the windows, railings and columns that support the canopy. You can also throw a garland-net over it, which will give the porch lighting a more finished look. At the same time, one should not forget about such an attribute as a New Year's wreath placed on the front door. Installing just a couple of LEDs in it will give it brightness;

Note! The illumination of steps and railings looks very nice, especially if you place luminous figures on the sides.

New Year's porch lighting

• illumination of the surrounding area. Here, any buildings (verandas and gazebos), trunks and branches of trees, as well as various landscape features can be considered as the location of lighting fixtures. Luminous figures will look especially impressive here.

Christmas street lighting

When making outdoor illumination for the New Year holidays, it must be remembered that here you can and should decorate with your own hands not only the facade of buildings, but also evergreen hedges and fences.

Why and how is illumination done

There are not so many reasons for fun in our life, especially when you can share it not only with your friends and loved ones, but with the whole world. It is the New Year, which is celebrated almost everywhere, that makes it possible to feel one with the world in an atmosphere of universal celebration and fun. And even if each country celebrates this wonderful holiday at different times, this will only be an additional reason to continue the fun even after the climax of the holiday - the chiming clock.

New Year on the street

But in order to create a unique holiday atmosphere with your own hands, New Year's illumination should be organized according to the relevant rules:

• for street lighting, you can use not only white light, which will be in perfect harmony with the beauty of evergreens and tree trunks, but also various color effects;
• the backlight should be placed at different heights. This will avoid fussiness and excessive brightness;
• illuminated water will look spectacular (if the frosts are not very strong). Here you need to place light sources in such a way that they illuminate the water from behind;

Note! New Year's illumination of water should be uneven in order to create a play of light and shadow, which in this situation will be especially beautiful.

• an excellent solution would be the alternation of garlands and designs with luminous figures and lamps. In this situation, you can use both landscape lamps and pendant and floor lamps;
• quite effective will be the allocation of garden paths, flower beds, ponds, as well as places of rest.

New Year's illumination of paths

At the same time, the rest of the garden should be in darkness in order to create the necessary contrast between the highlighted and shaded areas.

What lamps are used

For each zone of the garden, separate lighting devices should be used, which will emphasize their individuality and contribute to the overall New Year's mood.
New Year's illumination can be organized by the following lighting fixtures:

• hemispherical lamps. Used to decorate garden paths. With their help, you can emphasize the boundaries of the coverage;
• garden lights and vertical floor lamps. They can also be used to illuminate garden paths. At the same time, remember that their optimal height should not exceed one meter;

Note! Placing lighting fixtures at a level of one meter will allow you to highlight the path with high quality, without the risk of blinding a person walking along it.

Floor lamps in the illumination of paths

• light figurines. Their role can be played by figures of deer, Santa Claus, snowmen, etc. In addition to these New Year's figures, you can use more abstract balls and hemispheres. They will resemble fragments of snowmen that are only planned to be collected, which will give the illumination an interesting understatement;

light figures

• LED strings. With the help of such products, you can effectively and efficiently illuminate trees, a porch, a roof, etc. with your own hands. At the same time, if you use multi-color ribbons and controllers, you can create various lighting effects.

Christmas LED lighting

Another interesting illumination option would be the use of flexible neon in it. This is such a bendable PVC cord. Two wires run along the entire length of this cord, as well as a copper core with a phosphor.

Note! Flexible neon is also called light cord, electroluminescent wire and cold neon. All of these are the same product.

Flexible neon in illumination

Flexible neon, when a current passes through it, glows due to the phosphor deposited on it. The color of the glow of the cord is determined by the color of the PVC. Such an effect as a “creeping snake” will be obtained when using a cord that has three threads in its design, on which voltage is applied alternately.
The benefits of this neon include:

• there are no requirements for careful handling;
• low energy consumption (about 4 W m);
• high moisture protection;
• the product does not heat up.

Flexible neon can compete with LED products when creating New Year's illumination.

The most popular option is LEDs.

But most often, LED lamps are used to create New Year's illumination:

• Garlands. They can be linear, curtain or mesh, fringe, etc. The most impressive garlands will look on trees, windows, paths and roofs (especially in large areas);

Garland option

• duralight. With the help of such a light cord, you can organize the illumination of various surfaces (handrails, paths, etc.) with your own hands or make light figures by wrapping frames prepared in advance.

Duralight

When choosing a lighting device to illuminate the street before the New Year holidays, it must be remembered that all lamps must have a high degree of protection against moisture, and also function at low temperatures. Only in this way the illumination created by one's own hands will be not only beautiful, but also safe.

Conclusion

Properly organized in all respects, the New Year's illumination will allow you to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday and give your children a real New Year's miracle. And all this can be done with your own hands, without the involvement of specialists.

Christmas lights

In our country, relatively recently, they began to actively decorate not only the Christmas tree in the house, but also buildings, landscape elements and trees. Often we saw such pictures in American New Year's films. But today, to create a festive atmosphere, such illumination is created from a wide variety of lighting fixtures.

When choosing Christmas garlands, you should know exactly where you will install them. After all, street Christmas lighting requires the use of models designed for outdoor work. Most often used:

• lamps;
• flashlights;
• candles.

The latter option is more preferable for decorating the interior of the house.

Features of Christmas lighting

Modern buyers have a large selection of beautiful street Christmas lights. Relatively recently, the decoration of the backyard territory consisted in the use of several Christmas tree garlands.

New Year's decoration is not only the use of various and around the perimeter of the house. Luminous figures of snowmen and deer are often used, and unique lighting is organized for each individual zone.

To decorate a large area, they also use the services of specialists. But you can do this task yourself. The main thing is your imagination and beautiful lighting elements.

All work on the design of the New Year's lighting at home should be carried out in 2 stages: decorating the house inside and outside.

Benefits of LED Lighting

The use of LEDs in home decoration for the New Year holidays has a number of advantages. The main ones include: ease of installation, minimal energy consumption, durability, variety of colors. So, why is LED Christmas lighting preferred over others?

1. Electricity consumption is reduced by almost 10 times, because you do not need a 220 W power supply. Voltage converters reduce it to the required level. Therefore, during the New Year's Eve, you can spend 75% less current than using ordinary lighting fixtures. Remember that one 35W halogen lamp can be replaced by 3 1W LEDs.
2. The indisputable advantage of LEDs is a large selection of colors. Specialists have also developed a color mixing system, because many manufacturers install three groups of LEDs at once in the case. That is why the light flux acquires the desired shade.
3. Having bought LEDs once, you will forget about the additional costs of lighting for the New Year holidays for a long time. Their service life is long. For example, a 10 W incandescent lamp lasts about 2000 hours, but the LED counterpart will last 100 thousand hours. From these data, it can be calculated that by working daily for 8 hours, the LEDs will last about 20 years.
4. Security. Unlike other lighting fixtures, LEDs do not emit much heat, which means they do not get hot. So your kids won't get burned by exploring everything around them.
5. Can be used anywhere in the home. Attractive design and compact size allow you to decorate various elements in the house, from furniture and accessories to the shower head, which is very popular right now.

Home decoration inside

LED strips can create wonders in any room, especially in a nursery. Of course, everyone knows that the Christmas tree is the main decoration of the New Year holidays. For its decoration, not only multi-colored garlands are used, but also Christmas toys. But often the Christmas tree is installed in one room, but what about the rest? With the help of simple actions, a Christmas tree can appear on any wall or even a ceiling. Believe me, your children will be very happy to see such a beauty in their room.

In this case, the LED strip is attached to tape or glue. It must be laid according to a previously prepared sketch (along the contour). In the central part, you can drive in a few small carnations, on which you can hang toys that are safe for children or homemade crafts.

Such lighting devices can be placed at the window, along the contour of the furniture. The main thing is your imagination, which will surprise your relatives and give a little fairy tale to children.

Home decoration outside

New Year's lighting of a private house has no boundaries. At your disposal is the entire space of the house and the yard.

Before you start decorating, you should understand exactly where the backlight can be placed. Most often decorate the porch of the house. There is enough space here to show your imagination.

New Year's involves decorating the roof, windows, railings and columns supporting the canopy. Often it is decorated with a garland-net. A New Year's wreath is placed on the front door. But a couple of LEDs installed inside will create a festive mood.

The illumination of railings and steps looks attractive. You can also place animal figures on the steps.

Lighting of the adjacent area

Particular attention should be paid to the lighting of the surrounding area. Lighting devices can be installed on structures for various purposes (verandas and gazebos), trunks and branches of trees. Illumination of various landscape features of the site also looks attractive. Luminous figurines can be placed throughout the territory. They will look beautiful in the snowdrifts of just fallen snow.

Outdoor illumination also includes the design of not only the facade of the building, but also fences and evergreen hedges.

Rules for creating an unforgettable street illumination

Many owners of country houses independently decide to arrange their backyard territory. But in order for everything to turn out beautifully, you should be guided by the relevant rules for the New Year's lighting of the cottage.

1. Use colors that will harmonize with evergreens.
2. It is necessary to place the backlight at different heights. So your area around the house will not be too bright.
3. Plan the lighting of the infield in such a way that the garlands and structures with luminous figures alternate.
4. If possible, illuminate garden paths, ponds, flower beds, as well as places of rest.

Remember that the rest of the area should be in the dark. This creates the necessary contrast between the darkened and illuminated areas.

What lighting fixtures are still in use?

Separate lighting fixtures are used to illuminate different areas of the garden. Each of them should emphasize the space, bring its own zest.

Making a New Year's illumination of a house and a personal plot may include such lighting fixtures:

• hemispherical lamps and garden lights, they are used to illuminate paths in the garden;
• light figures, but these are not only figures of Santa Claus, deer, snowmen (abstract balls and hemispheres look attractive in decorating the site);
• LED strips, they allow you to effectively illuminate the trees, the porch, the roof (the use of multi-color ribbons and controllers allows you to create various lighting effects);
• flexible neon is a special PVC cord that bends well, two wires and a copper core with a phosphor pass along its entire length.

Conclusion

You can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday, and your children will fall into a fairy tale for several weeks, believing in the New Year's miracle. Don't stop dreaming - fantasize!
