Choosing Your Colour Combinations Here are a few lighting tips from the NCC's landscape architects responsible for the design of the spectacular Christmas lights display in Canada's Capital Region.
An elegant look can be achieved with all white lights. The photograph on the previous page is a perfect example. What the owners did is outline the roofline and all windows with strings of white lights. Due to its location, this house can be seen from afar. Trees and bushes also get a very elegant look by keeping all the lights in one color. If you like to have some color keep each part of the decoration in one color. Helga's front door is a perfect example of a very tasteful version of Christmas lighting. The banister is covered with a swag of mixed greens and soft orange lights wrapped around it to hold it all in place. The mini Japanese Maple is decorated with red lights only.
Casual Look The colored lights lend themselves well for a more casual look. It always reminds me of a "Hänsel and Gretel" look. |
