Design ideas
26 designs we can put on your house this season. Each one is a real recipe — the zones, the bulb colors and the decor our crews carry. Pick one and we render it on a photo of your house in about a minute.
Classic Warm Trim
Warm white C9s on every roof edge and peak
The look most people picture when they say Christmas lights: evenly spaced warm white bulbs following the roofline and the peaks, and nothing else competing with them.

Warm White, Whole House
Roof, windows, columns, garage and trees, all one temperature
Every surface in the same 2700K warm white, so the house reads as one lit object instead of a collection of decorations. Our most-installed design.
- 6 lit zones
- Front door wreath
- 4 × Accent bows
Add-ons $197.00, plus lights measured on your house
The Entrance Moment
Everything pointed at the front door

- Front door wreath
- 2 × Potted porch trees
- 2 × Oversized bows
Add-ons $645.00, plus lights measured on your house

Two-Tone Architectural
