Choosing a palette first is the easiest way to make a yard look planned.
Classic red and green
Bright against white, gray and light siding. Pair with multicolor or warm-white lights.
White and gold
Elegant on brick, stone and dark houses. Use warm-white lights and keep plastic colors to a minimum.
Pastel and pink
Playful and modern. Works on light houses and for parties, showers and Valentine’s.
Bold brights
For luaus, sports parties and the Fourth of July. One bold piece can carry the whole yard.
Dark and spooky
Black, purple and orange for Halloween. Light them from the front so they do not disappear at night.
Tips
- One palette per zone.
- Match the light color to the palette.
- Put the largest piece farthest back.
