7 Creative Ways to Use LED Lighting

If you’re thinking about ways to decorate your home without breaking the bank, consider adding colour changing led rope lighting to your space to create the perfect mood. It’s easy to install and really inexpensive, but it can have a big impact on how your space feels overall. Here are seven creative uses for rope lighting that you may not have thought of yet!

1) DIY Projects

LED rope lighting is ideal for any number of home DIY projects, like under-cabinet lights, small accent walls and even a few string lights around your patio. A great way to get started is by working with small pieces; it’s easier to make mistakes that way. Once you get a hang of it, you can move on from simple installations like these to more complex light displays.

2) Contemporary Decor

The newest version of rope lighting is made from LEDs and can be connected in any shape or design you like. This leads to a whole world of possible applications for rope lighting. Plus, LED rope lighting is more energy efficient than its predecessors, which could save you money in the long run. You can also use rope lights outdoors to enhance your garden space and home exterior.

3) Hanging Lights

Hanging rope lights can be used to decorate your porch, patio or gazebo. They also work well over beds, buffet tables and even in gift baskets. You can add a warm glow of light to any area that needs a little something extra with low-cost rope lighting.

4) Holiday Decorating

Everyone loves holiday decorations. That twinkle in your eye when you think about getting out those cheesy lights, those fun and quirky ornaments, and those beautiful hues of fall. So how do you take it up a notch? With LED rope lighting! This amazing light fixture is great for use inside or outside your home, on trees, wreaths, columns and more. Try incorporating a range[1]  of led rope lighting into your holiday décor to add an extra element of style while keeping safety in mind.

5) Bedroom Decor

Add some romantic lighting with a string of rope lights in your bedroom. Suspend them from above or your bed and let them glow softly over your bed. You can also wrap strings around windows, mirrors or even furniture pieces. It’s like wrapping a present — without giving up any of that pretty paper! In addition to creating an inviting atmosphere, rope lights are perfect for highlighting areas where you want attention drawn, such as artwork or shelves full of collectibles.

6) Kitchen Lighting

Rope or strip lights are a great kitchen lighting solution as they don’t get hot and can be placed above and below cabinets, creating an energy-efficient glow. They also make your worktop more visible in dark kitchens, which is perfect for when you need to set a plate down while doing prep work. However, if you’re looking for something that adds ambient mood lighting or just creates a cool ambiance, try placing them in your kitchen island!

7) Kids’ Rooms

Whether you’re decorating a children’s bedroom or playroom, led multi coloured[2]  rope lighting provides bright, fun light that keeps kids from tripping over toys in low-light areas. Since it’s LED, it uses little energy and produces virtually no heat. It can be set on a timer for night light use and won’t burn out like an incandescent bulb when left on for too long.
