Design Is Deciding What the Light Does to Your House

Design isn't picking a colour. It's deciding which parts of your home the light should trace, what size bulb suits the elevation, and how the layers work together after dark — roofline, entry and landscape doing different jobs.

Get it right and the house looks deliberate. Get it wrong and an expensive display can still look like an afternoon's work, because the bulb was too big for the trim or the roofline stopped short of the gable.

  • C9, C7 or mini — matched to your elevation and viewing distance
  • Warm white at ~2700K by default, because it flatters brick, stone and painted wood
  • Every roof plane mapped, including the awkward peaks
  • Layering planned: roofline, entry and landscape as three separate jobs
  • Power distribution planned so long runs don't dim at the far end

What You Actually Get

Sized to Your Elevation

A bulb that carries across a 100ft setback overwhelms a close-set bungalow. We match it.

Colour That Flatters

Cool white reads blue against warm brick. Warm white is the default for a reason.

Built in Layers

Roofline defines the shape, the entry gives it a focal point, the landscape adds depth.

Holiday Lighting Design FAQs

What's the difference between C9, C7 and mini lights?

C9 is the large traditional bulb with the visual mass to read from a distance; C7 is one size down and suits smaller or more detailed elevations; mini lights are for wrapping trunks, columns and shrubs, never rooflines.

Is warm white or multicolour better?

Warm white at roughly 2700K flatters brick, stone and painted wood and shows off architectural detail. Multicolour is a legitimate family preference but tends to flatten ornament on a detailed elevation.

Do you charge for the design?

No. The design and the written quote are free, and both are done from photos with no site visit.

Can you match what my neighbour has?

We can design something in the same family, but we'll usually suggest what suits your elevation rather than copying one built for a different house.
