As we shared in our previous post, Holiday Lighting Design Tips for a Warm, Welcoming Home or Business, choosing a color scheme, planning early, and automating your display are great ways to start.
Now let’s go beyond the basics — with advanced strategies that take your home or business lighting from nice to next-level!
1. Make It Architecturally Smart
Your property’s architecture is more than a backdrop — it’s your design blueprint.
- Highlight rooflines, columns, and window bays with accent uplights.
- Layer light from the ground up: pathway → landscape → roofline for added dimension.
- For businesses, softly illuminate signage or branded façades to create a professional yet festive look.

2. Use Color & Movement to Tell a Story
With programmable RGB lights, your display can evolve throughout the evening or season.
- Create themed scenes: “Snow-Glow” (cool white), “Family Gathering” (warm amber), “Festive Fun” (multi-color).
- Program transitions for timing and mood: e.g., roofline twinkles at 5 p.m., then soft glows for energy savings after 8 p.m.
- For businesses, coordinate lighting colors with brand identity or special events.
3. Extend the Glow Across Your Landscape
Light beyond your roofline!
- Add pathway lights for guest safety and elegance.
- Use illuminated winter planters at entryways for color and texture.
- Commercial properties benefit from unified lighting across multiple entrances or signage areas.
4. Plan for ‘What’s Next’ — Beyond December
Modern lighting isn’t just for one season.
- RGB systems allow year-round color changes for Valentine’s Day, July 4th, or autumn events.
- Commercial clients can match lighting to brand campaigns, open houses, or community fundraisers.
