There are many options for pathway lighting – you can choose:
a lantern style,
a winter wonderland style reminiscent of how the North Pole is portrayed in movies,
snowflake-shaped lights,
a simple set of colorful bulbs that lead right up to your front door.
The design styles are nearly endless, so you are sure to find something that fits your envisioned theme.
Most pathway lights have stakes that need to be buried into the soil on either side of the walkway – if this style does not agree with you, you can opt for battery-operated artificial candles and place them spaced apart on the walkway itself. This makes for a much easier clean-up once the holidays are over.
Pathway lighting is not only perfect for complementing the decorative theme of your home during the holidays, it’s also an incredibly pragmatic feature that helps direct guests as they arrive and depart from your home.
Remember Tip #1: when choosing your pathway lights, make sure they complement your focal point. If your focal point is your front entrance, pathway lights lead the eyes right to the center. However, if you’ve chosen a focal point off to the side – like a nativity scene, for example – choose pathway lights with a subtle glow so they don’t compete with the main focal point.
