2019 Outdoor Holiday Lighting Trends

2019 Outdoor Holiday Lighting Trends are all about marrying form and function. Tech-enabled, green technology optimizes your decorations for convenience and cost-effectiveness – for an investment you can feel good about.

By mixing and matching lighting styles and color tones, you add more dimension to your display, showcasing your home’s unique features and instantly enhancing your curb appeal.

When you upgrade your exterior holiday decorations and lighting, you’ll instantly make your house the centerpiece of your neighborhood’s celebrations.

Here are three of the biggest outdoor lighting trends we’re looking forward to this holiday season:

1. Beyond Red and Green: Neutral Shades Also Reign Supreme

Vibrant, eye-popping colors have long been a staple in holiday lighting. In 2019, bright reds, blues, and warm shades of green and yellow will continue to dominate the scene, but they’ll also be mixed with deeper, more understated shades and hues.

Deep burgundy, navy blue, neutral greys, and metallic tones will also infiltrate indoor and outdoor holiday decor. Adding minimalist, elegant components, more decorators have been incorporating forest green garlands and wreaths, as well as silver and gold accents, and overlaying vibrant colors with more neutral backdrops and details.

2. Eco-Friendly LED Lighting Creates an Evergreen Style

Although this year will feature more natural tones in addition to traditional holiday color schemes, going green with holiday decorating will never go out of style. That’s why LED lights will remain a top trend in holiday decor this year.

Residential LEDs use at least 75 percent less energy than incandescent lighting, and they last up to 25 times longer. That translates into higher long-term cost savings, as well as a much smaller environmental footprint. Additionally, as LED technology advances, thousands of color options and hues are available from which to choose.

3. Tech-Enabled Upgrades and Controls Kick Christmas Lights Up a Notch

Using LED lighting isn’t the only way to go green while saving money this holiday season, however. This year, more homeowners will find ways to integrate technology into their displays for more cost-effective, energy-efficient lighting.

Automated lighting systems and electric timers save you time and money, while also often being more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Since you can program your lights to turn off at a set time each night automatically, your beautiful light display is much more convenient and hassle-free with tech-enabled timers. You don’t have to worry about leaving your lights on all night, which wastes energy and can quickly raise your utility bill.

Other technologies, such as Wi-Fi and smartphone-enabled commands, also provide you with greater control over your lights, regardless of your location. With this technology upgrade, you can more easily adjust your lighting, change your display, and conveniently turn your lights on and off from anywhere.

Decorative and dynamic outdoor lighting displays are the key to a picture-perfect holiday scene at your home.

By incorporating technology upgrades and leveraging LED technology for your colorful display, you can save a significant amount of time, money, and hassle, and spend more time with your family over the holiday. Additionally, your eco-friendly, on-trend decor will undoubtedly make your home the envy of the neighborhood.
