5 ways to make your bedroom look magical using fairy lights!
Fairy lights look dreamy regardless of where you hang them, but combine them with bedroom aesthetics and you have a match made in styling heaven.
We’ve jam packed this blog with all the tips, tricks and inspiration you need to give your room a fabulous fairy light revamp. With fairy lights, the possibilities are endless, but we’ve collated five of our favourite styles to give you an idea where to start.
No. 1 – Curtain light canopies
Curtain lights are a styling staple. Perfect for creating an inviting ambience with soft edging, we’ve seen an increasing trend in people layering them beneath canopies to create a magical feel. Multi-strand fairy lights are perfect for creating a whimsical waterfall effect in your room styling, while adding gentle light for a relaxed, laid back feel.
No. 2 – Shelving with a Twist
Shelves can be pretty dull and more of a necessity for storage than for looking good right? Wrong! Add a twist to those mundane shelves with gorgeous glimmering fairy lights! You could even go as far as creating a statement shelf for your room (use a picture rail for a sleek look!) and complete with artwork and wire lights to create a nice cosy corner. We love this one below with the inspirational quote, your daily reminder that you can achieve anything with a warming glow.
No. 3 – Festoons, Festoons, and more Festoons!
Festoon lights feature a beautifully large bulb with heaps of character. They feature a gorgeous, traditionally design perfect for day by day use while the bright LED works a charm to illuminate your evenings. The industrial, vintage charm of the original Edison style bulb, mixed with a hint of old Hollywood glamour and style, is perfect to add that magical factor to your sleeping space.
No.4 – Pin-up Polaroids
This styling staple really needs no introduction. Simple yet impactful, you can achieve this adorable look by clipping Polaroid photos onto a string of battery powered fairy lights with craft pegs. Alternatively, you can cut out the middle-man and opt for our pre-pegged fairy lights, which feature 10 silver pegs, ready and waiting to show-off the faces of your loved ones.
No.5 – DIY Lamps and Lanterns
It’s time to unleash your creative side and make your own unique lamps and lanterns. So simple yet effective, just delicately wind your fairy lights within the container of your choice, be it a Chinese lantern or mason jar, and that’s it! Wire lights will work particularly well for this type of DIY thanks to the pliable wire.
