Matchmaker

Make your garden glow this Christmas! Our outdoor Christmas lights are perfect no matter what size or shape of tree, and are one of the most effective ways to spread some sparkle in seconds. All you need are a few strings of lights and you're away. Bare string lights compliment deciduous trees, with no leaves in sight, wrap your Christmas lights from trunk to the branches for a fantastically full look. More densely packed firs or conifers tend to absorb lots more lights so be prepared to double up on bulbs. Opt for a golden hue for a warm nostalgic feel, white for a crisp modern tone (which looks spectacular in the snow). For those throwback memories, a classic multi coloured tree is a must-have.

Take It Indoors

Whether your tree is the focal point or a piece of an altogether larger scheme it's the ideal place to introduce a magical glow to your home. Plump for a real fir or a spruce and you'll have enough depth to weave your Christmas tree lights deep into the centre, snaking throughout creating a gorgeous gleam from within. Artificial trees tend to be rather sparse along the branches, so you’ll need to hang your lights from the outer edges so they'll stay in place. Don’t be afraid to embrace a colourful theme! They can ooze personality if planned thoughtfully. Team whites with an accent colour and your Christmas tree can be festive & fun. We love to see a hint of sparkle, bronze or silver metallics work wonderfully with white walls and subtle lights. Dark cables blend better in your tree, however, a clear cable can be a lovely feature if worked with light coloured decorations.
