Here are lightbulb ideas (pun not intended) to get you started.
For your small backyard pergola, hang some string lights on the roof’s edges. And work out on how to radiate lights dramatically on walls or through glasses.
If you want a simple light accessory on your backyard, you can just hang string lights loosely in between poles. This is the modern thing to do -- minimalistic, yet appealing.
Another light craze that has been spotted on grand events are caged lights. Get a string of Christmas lights. Put them inside a container -- a bird cage, an empty lamp or an empty mason jar for the hipsters, perhaps?
If you’ve used these for your wedding, you can redecorate these items on your home. Hang them on your garden or on your patio.
If you’re a little crafty and would want to make use of recyclables, be inspired with this simple light project -- tin cans dotted with patterns on the outside. Place a candle inside and viola -- instant dramatic effect! You could place these on the table during one of your romantic dinners. Or you could line these up on the pavement leading to your home during a party.
Another accessory which goes well with lights are transparent crystal balls. See, light plus sparkly objects is an effortless way to achieve a sense of sophistication. This bubble chandelier would definitely light up any room in a lovely way.
Plant in torch lights on your flower pots. This would be a good idea for your garden.
A classic example of light decorations is wrapping them around the trees. This picture is a reminder that this trick never gets old, especially during the wintertime. Just look at how the snow plays with the lights. It almost feels like winter wonderland.
If you have a grand staircase at home and you aren’t sure on how to minimize the stripped center, then ditch a classic chandelier for long, drape down lights. It’s instant urbanity.
