4. Pathway Lights to Welcome Guests
Pathway lights are both beautiful and practical. They illuminate walkways, driveways, and entrances while adding a festive glow. This idea is perfect for homeowners who want to keep their decorations simple but still impactful.
Stake lights are the easiest option. They come in all shapes and colors including candy canes, stars, bulbs, snowflakes, or simple lanterns. Solar powered versions offer convenience without the need for extension cords.
For a more refined look, line the walkway with warm white LED stakes. If you want a whimsical look, choose classic red and white candy cane designs. For a modern vibe, consider low profile LED path markers that cast gentle light along the ground.
Spacing matters for pathway lights. Place stakes about two to three feet apart to create even illumination. If you want a dramatic entrance, place them closer together near the door.
Pair pathway lighting with wreaths, garlands, or spotlights for a well balanced entrance. You can also coordinate the colors of your pathway lights with the rest of your exterior lighting for a cohesive design.
