The holidays are the perfect time to make your home or business shine — literally. Whether you want to create cozy curb appeal for family gatherings or a vibrant, professional display that draws customers in, thoughtful lighting design can transform any property into a warm, welcoming showpiece.

At Anewalt’s Landscape Contracting, we design and install custom lighting displays for both residential and commercial clients across Berks County — blending creative design, safety, and smart technology to make every space sparkle.

Here are our expert tips for designing a lighting display that’s beautiful, balanced, and built to last all season long.

Choose a Cohesive Color Scheme

Color sets the tone — and consistency creates the “wow” factor. Whether you’re lighting a storefront, office park, or your front porch, start with a clear color palette.

Popular combinations include:

  • Warm White & Gold: Timeless and elegant, ideal for homes, boutiques, and professional offices.
  • Cool White & Blue: Sleek and sophisticated — perfect for modern architecture or winter-themed displays.
  • Red, Green & White: The quintessential holiday combination that never goes out of style.
  • Custom RGB Color Displays: With Anewalt’s programmable RGB lighting systems, you can easily change colors and effects for any holiday, special event, or branding theme — red and green for Christmas, blue and white for Hanukkah, your team’s colors for game day, or your brand’s signature palette for a professional touch.

Pro Tip: Keep your colors consistent across your building, signage, planters, and trees for a polished, professional appearance that enhances your brand image.

Plan the Timing and Layout Early

A stunning display starts with smart planning. For both homeowners and businesses, schedule installation early — ideally before Thanksgiving — to beat the rush and ensure your property shines just as the holiday season begins.

When planning your layout, consider:

  • Focal Points: Highlight your architecture — rooflines, entryways, signage, and trees.
  • Balance: Avoid clutter by spreading lights evenly and accentuating your best features.
  • Depth: Use layers — ground lighting, shrubs, and building accents — to add visual dimension.

Our Anewalt’s team designs layouts that fit your property perfectly, ensuring every light enhances your space and supports your goals — whether it’s welcoming guests or drawing customers in.

Safety and Professional Installation Matter

Beautiful lighting is only as good as its safety and reliability. We use commercial-grade, weatherproof LED products designed to handle Pennsylvania winters while staying energy-efficient and long-lasting.

For businesses, professional installation means fewer interruptions and complete peace of mind. Our crews handle:

  • Proper electrical load management
  • Weatherproof connections and timers
  • Secure mounting to protect your building and landscape
  • Ongoing maintenance if a bulb or strand needs replacement

A professionally installed lighting system not only looks spectacular — it performs safely and efficiently all season.

Simplify with Smart Automation and RGB Technology

Today’s holiday lighting is smarter than ever. With Anewalt’s RGB lighting systems, you can enjoy full control with the tap of a button:

  • Set automatic schedules for dusk-to-dawn operation
  • Adjust brightness, color, and animation effects from your smartphone
  • Reprogram displays instantly for upcoming holidays or events

This is especially powerful for businesses — where a dynamic, programmable display can reinforce brand identity and keep your property festive year-round.

Add Finishing Touches for a Complete Look

Lighting creates the magic — but décor completes the story. Pair your display with:

  • Wreaths and evergreen swags on doors or signage
  • Decorative planters filled with greens, ribbons, and subtle lights
  • Pathway and entry lighting for added warmth and visibility

Commercial clients often extend décor to include planters at entrances, lighted signage, and coordinated displays across multiple building fronts — creating a cohesive, professional look that delights customers and passersby alike.
