As the night’s get darker, hallways can also feel a little colder or isolated compared to the rest of your home. Wrapping string lights around your banister will give a wonderful glow to a space you probably never pay attention to and add even more encouragement going to bed! You can either use mains string lights or battery operated string lights if you don’t have a plug socket close by. Our copper or silver fairy lights are perfect to use as staircase lights as they have a bendable wire so you can easily manipulate them around the shape of your banister.

Display Photos or Pictures with Clip Fairy Lights

Do you have a wall of your favourite photos at home? Make even more of a feature of these by using fairy lights to illuminate them on the wall. Alternatively, if you have photos that you would like to hang somewhere but don’t have any frames, why not try using our String Lights with Clips. These lights are so multifaceted and can be hung up across a wall or even on a display board and the clips can be used to hang photos, artwork, cards, invites and more.

Hang Feature Fairy Lights Along Bi-Fold Doors

Bifold or patio doors might give you the most lovely outlook during the day but without blinds in the evening they can be very dark. Try adding string lighting across the top of the doors to give a lovely warm feeling to the room at night. The Pom Pom Lights in particular also look lovely in the day even when they’re switched off.

Spell Words with Fairy Lights

Why not create your own letter lights by using wire lights to spell words on the wall. This also means you can be as creative as you want with the words and change them to suit your mood. You could spell the word ‘Love’ or even just make a heart shape which would be equally as impactful. Our mains wire fairy lights are perfect for creating this look and can be left on all the time to highlight this wall art.

Light a Gorgeous Table Centre or Console Table Display with Fairy Lights

This is one of the first places that I started using String lighting. I had been out for dinner at a restaurant and loved the glow that the fairy lights gave to the table. The next time we had friends for dinner, I decorated the table with a string of battery operated fairy lights, candles and sparkly gems and had so many lovely comments. I now have a few different sets of fairy lights that I use for different occasions and also add different accessories to the table depending on the season. COVID has meant that we have all spent more time staying in, rather than eating out, so why not make a feature of your table and make another night in, feel that bit more like a special occasion.

Light Up Shelves

Shelves are often overlooked when it comes to decoration, but adding fairy lights to your shelves can bring a warm, inviting glow to your space. Whether you have books, plants, or decorative items on your shelves, a string of lights can highlight these items and create a cosy atmosphere. Our battery-operated fairy lights are perfect for this, as they can be easily arranged and won't require a nearby power source.

Drape Along Headboard

Your bedroom can become a serene retreat by draping fairy lights along the headboard. This can create a soft, romantic glow that's perfect for winding down in the evening. Our Teardrops White Fairy Lights add an elegant touch and can transform your bedroom into a dreamy oasis.

Display Along a Table

For dinner parties or casual get-togethers, displaying fairy lights along the length of your table can set the mood perfectly. Simply lay them out in a straight line or weave them around table decorations. Our Confetti Fairy Lights add a warm, inviting glow that enhances any dining experience.

Hang Around a Pergola

If you have an outdoor pergola, fairy lights can transform it into a magical evening retreat. Hang them along the beams and let them twinkle above as you relax or entertain guests.
