The holidays are a time to celebrate, spread joy, and create magical memories with friends and family. One of the best ways to set the tone for your home’s festive spirit is with a holiday light display, making your home the highlight of the neighborhood! In 2024, holiday lighting trends are shifting toward new technology, cost-effective + sustainable solutions, and creative personalization. Whether you’re dreaming of a winter wonderland or a sleek, modern aesthetic, these trends, tips, and tricks will inspire your holiday decorating this year.
Trend 1: Eco-Friendly Lighting
Sustainability is a priority for many households, and holiday lighting is no exception. In 2024, homeowners are embracing eco-friendly lighting options to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste.
- LED Lights: LED lights are an outdoor lighting staple thanks to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. They use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and come in a variety of colors and styles, from warm white to vibrant multicolor displays.
- Reusable Decor: With Prosper’s lighting service, your first year’s installation price includes purchase of the lights. This means you can reuse them next year, cutting down on waste and saving money in the long run.
Trend 2: Smart Lighting Technology
Smart home technology continues to influence holiday decorating. In 2024, more homeowners are turning to smart lighting, creating dynamic and customizable displays.
- App-Controlled Lights: Adjust brightness, colors, and patterns with the touch of a button on your smartphone. Some systems even let you sync your lights to music for an unforgettable show.
- Pre-Set Timers: Save time and energy with lights that turn on and off automatically based on your schedule. Christmas lighting timers are especially helpful for outdoor displays.
Trend 3: Minimalist and Modern Designs
Not every holiday display has to be over-the-top. Minimalist and modern designs are trending for 2024, appealing to homeowners who prefer a clean, sophisticated look.
- Warm White Lights: Simple strings of warm white lights can create a timeless and elegant feel. Outline your home’s roofline, wrap trees, or highlight architectural features for a subtle yet striking effect.
- Geometric Shapes: Incorporate geometric motifs like stars, spheres, or snowflakes for a contemporary touch. LED shapes can be hung from trees, placed in windows, or arranged in your yard.
- Monochrome Palettes: Sticking to one color, such as icy blues or classic reds, can make a bold statement while keeping your display cohesive.
Trend 4: Personalized Themes
In 2024, homeowners are leaning into unique and personalized holiday themes to reflect your style and personality. Let Prosper’s design team craft a one-of-a-kind display just for you.
- Winter Wonderland: Bring the magic of the Holiday season to your yard with icy blue and white lights, frosted garlands, or glowing snowflakes.
- Classic Christmas: Stick to traditional reds, greens, and golds with a combination of string lights, wreaths, and bows.
