Christmas and New Year holidays are always more interesting in nature. When heading to your country residence, do not forget to create a rainbow festive atmosphere. Traditions of lighting the interior of the house, the site and the facade of the building are a popular, integral part of the celebration. The comfort of your home, complemented by colorful garlands, will become a New Year's fairy tale. What you need to have, how to organize the lighting indoors and outdoors, you will learn in this article

Fairy tale inside the house

A beautiful play of lights is already a holiday. Lighting can be arranged in different ways. Monochromatic garlands of white color harmoniously fit into any setting. This is a type of hidden lighting that is placed behind a light curtain, any volumetric object, cornice, piece of furniture, under a table covered with a plain tablecloth, in a glass vase, above a fireplace, etc.

Christmas garlands, candles

On an open wall, using scotch tape, from a colorful garland, you can create a pattern, the image of a shining Christmas tree, spiral, stars. Attaching them over curtains or on the floor under the curtains will create beautifully illuminated soft waves in the drapery. Garlands laid in glass blocks, cabinets with dishes look unusual, they look especially interesting behind frosted glass of shelves and doors. If desired, the filament of colored lamps can be covered with a sheet of plexiglass, creating a refractive light divider from it.

Do not forget about the living candle fire. Take the usual cheapest candles, but you can dream up with a container for them. Ideas with the rhythm of the arrangement of candles, the formation of rows, any forms "work" well. From 5 to 20 pieces are arranged in groups or in one row. Placing along mirrored surfaces, on window sills by glass creates a reflection effect and doubles the number of burning wicks.

Duralight

Buy glowing panels, flashlights, figurines, duralight snowflakes (flexible cord with diodes) in advance. This is a win-win design option, based on LEDs and mini lamps. There are three-dimensional, flat, plastic, metallized base. Such decorative elements do not heat up and are adapted for many hours of use. There are options for light dynamics and monotonic mode. Placed in active zones, attached to furniture, windows, walls, curtains with tape, stapler.

LEDs

On New Year's Eve, the windows will stand out advantageously if you lay a diode tape around the perimeter. Try to arrange the floor lighting along the walls along the plinth - it always looks cool and gives an unusual look to the interior. The holiday should be present everywhere. Place the garlands in the hallway, in the corridor, in the recesses under the steps of the attic staircase, along the railing, or run the LEDs over the balusters. As a result, the whole house will turn into a holiday.

Don't forget the kitchen. Here it is appropriate to place a diode strip of different shades under the shelves, along the upper edge of the wall cabinets. Hang a grid of colored flashing lights on the window. Install fiber-optic luminaires made of fiber optics - they do not require electricity and can be located in any place inaccessible to wires.

Light palette

Nowadays, the lighting technology market pleases and allows you to embody any designer's ideas. On the street, in addition to traditional New Year's garlands, you can use luminous fringes, brushes, a waterfall, two- and three-dimensional figures, light clusters. When choosing a material for illumination, it is important then to place it correctly, create a specific composition, plot, harmoniously fit into the surrounding environment and, most importantly, do not overdo it.

Flashing, crying, iridescent, pulsating, flickering effects are more reasonable to use outdoors. The facade of the house, trees will look beautiful with them. For the street, you need to take moisture-resistant types of lamps:

- belt-light - an elastic plastic train, in the form of a PVC tube;

- clip-light - outdoor moisture-proof garland for trees, resistant to low temperatures;

- play-light - tires with drop-down suspension connectors that simulate light rain;

- duralight - universal flexible lighting of a glowing cord for open areas and premises;

- light grids - a two-layer system of wires resembling the structure of cells with built-in diodes or minions.

New Year's lighting of the site

When creating festive illumination, it is important to highlight the center of the composition - this is a house or an area with a Christmas tree. The rest of the objects are marked less intensely and colorful. Several trees or bushes close to the central place, as well as snow buildings, are necessarily decorated. Do not forget about the porch to the house, a gazebo, a barbecue area. Light lines cannot be broken, each contour object is connected by an illuminated path, lawn lanterns or candles in glasses are useful for this. The resulting New Year's plot will pleasantly surprise your guests and bring joy to you.
