When it comes to holiday decorating, placement is everything. The right lighting layout can take your home from ordinary to extraordinary—but many homeowners aren’t sure where to install Christmas lights to get the best effect.

At On Point Holiday Lighting, we specialize in creating eye-catching, custom designs that make your home shine. Whether you want a classic look or a bold holiday statement, here are the top places to install lights for a festive and balanced display.

🎯 1. Rooflines and Gutters

Your roofline is the #1 place to start. Outlining your roof with LED C9 lights:

• Frames the house beautifully
• Adds symmetry and structure to the display
• Is visible from far away, even down the block

Whether you prefer all-white bulbs or colorful patterns, clean roofline lighting sets the foundation for your entire layout.

🌳 2. Trees and Shrubs

Lighting up your yard’s natural features adds depth and magic. We recommend:

• Wrapping trunks and branches of large trees
• Using mini LED lights for twinkle effects
• Adding color to small bushes for variation

Tree lighting enhances curb appeal and gives your home a cozy, holiday glow.

🚪 3. Windows and Door Frames

Framing your doors and windows with lights is a great way to create a warm, welcoming entry. Combine it with garland or wreaths for an extra festive touch.

Bonus: You can match this lighting to the roofline color for a clean, cohesive look.

🚶 4. Driveways and Pathways

Light the way with low-profile lighting along:

• Driveways
• Walkways
• Garden edges

This not only looks beautiful but also improves safety for guests coming and going in the evenings.

🏡 5. Garage Doors and Porch Columns

Don’t overlook the architectural details! Wrapping porch columns or outlining garage doors adds visual interest and helps tie the entire display together.

This is especially impactful for homes with a front-facing garage.

✨ 6. Accent Features & Custom Zones

Want to go above and beyond? We can install lights around:

• Fences or gates
• Outdoor planters
• Entryway signs or statues
• Roof peaks or dormer windows

These smaller touches add polish to your display and help your home stand out.

🛠 Why Placement Matters

A well-placed light display feels intentional and balanced. It draws the eye naturally, enhances your home’s features, and avoids looking cluttered or uneven.
