Lighting is everything, and no that’s not just implied to selfies. I get Christmas is not year-round but strung lights are one of the most useful ways to deck up any living space and pronounce your home.

It will amaze you with the difference that an extra string of lights can make and how much cozier your home will feel. I’m still looking for more ways to light up my room!

I have some well-known looks to share with you and some that may new to you, but really the uses are endless. My biggest habit right now is stringing outdoor lights inside because why not?

The bigger the bulb the better the vibe!

Explore these ideas and let me know if you’ve tried any! 🙂 xoxo, Madi

What’s unique about stringing lights is any way you hang or low-key tangle them they look good! String them back and forth with pictures for an even more personal look! You need copper wire lighting to get this type of look since copper is a little bendy and good about holding it’s shape.

Even More String Light Ideas

What necessities are needed to create your perfect workspace? Lights take care of everything, may not even need a lamp.

That magical feel in your kitchen

Probably the best vibe during the summer when you want the windows open at night. Might you even want to be in the kitchen more?

The classic above-the-bed look

For when you wake up and go to bed, is there really a more comforting look? instantly roll over and turn on those lights! (this has been me in every living situation, I need my bed lighting)

Ladder lights!

Repurpose an old ladder to hang lights. Who uses ladders for climbing anymore? The uses for old ladders nowadays are endless, huge trend!

    […] The proper lighting can make or break any room. Just look at some of your selfies and you be the judge. In some cases, poor lighting can make a room look dark. In others, a room can look fluorescent and yellow. But not your dorm room, not with the proper lighting! Any dorm space or shared space will get an automatic facelift with proper stringing of LED lights, and we have the variations for you. Hairs Out Of Place […]
