Layered decorative lighting — blending ambient, task, and accent lights — typically creates a balanced, cozy atmosphere. Surprisingly, proper layering can also make spaces feel slightly larger, potentially reducing the need for extensive remodels.

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do you use to hang Christmas lights outside?

  • Christmas and holiday lights

  • Extension cords

  • Gloves

  • Gutter clips

  • Ladder

What is the best way to hang Christmas lights on your house?
