Nothing heralds the start of the festive season like when you start seeing lights going up in and around people's homes. Dark evenings are transformed into magical, sparkling ones and you can all but smell the mulled wine in the air.
If you've been looking for a way to upgrade your lights this year, then now's the time. I've been on a hunt for the quiet luxury Christmas lights. The best Christmas lights that will elevate your space into seeming oh-so expensive without any sense of try hard. The sugar on top? They're all currently on sale for Cyber Monday so you won't even have to rethink your budget.
Quiet luxury Christmas lights
Quiet luxury has been something of a buzzword this year. I mean, what's not to like? The idea is items that add that intangible feeling of 'wealth' to a space in a tasteful, subtle, timeless fashion.
What we here at Ideal Home like to do is to find ways of doing this which don't cost the earth but still bring that elevated style to your space, just without the usual cost.
String lights
String lights arguably earn their keep more than any others when it comes to Christmas. You can add them to trees, wreaths and garlands, trail them across tables as a makeshift centrepiece, tuck into glass bottles, border picture frames... the uses are near endless!
Statement
Quiet luxury doesn't have to mean boring or overly subdued. Instead of oversized novelty products, these lights will make a style statement and look many times more than their worth while doing so.
Realistic
Whether you have kids and pets around, want to place them in an area that would be unsafe for an open flame or you just don't want to risk forgetting to extinguish them, LED candles are a must. However, my bug bear is ones which look fake. These are the best of the best.
Outdoor
Outdoor lighting is just as key as those indoors at Christmastime. From creating a welcoming display on your front door, to lighting your garden or adding a little twinkle to your balcony.
So if you're lusting after quiet luxury Christmas lighting then get a move on while the deals are live. Once they're over and regular prices are back I'll be back to update this but just note that a lot of these discounts will be gone all too soon.
