Every year the festival of Diwali brings light, happiness and new enthusiasm in our lives. It is not just a festival, but an occasion when we fill our homes with beauty and positivity. Cleaning the house, sweets, new clothes and decorations are all the hallmarks of Diwali and when it comes to decorations, the brightest and most popular option is fairy lights.

These lights of small bulbs not only look beautiful, but can also transform any normal place into a wonderful, magical atmosphere in a few moments. Fairy lights are a great option especially for decorating the balcony, which is often the nearest open space to the house. Whether you live in an apartment or on the top floor of the house, everyone likes to make the balcony special with fairy lights. In such a situation, let us tell you easy and creative ways to decorate the balcony with fairy lights on Diwali.

Easy and creative ways to decorate balcony with fairy lights

1. Highlight the balcony – Install the fairy lights in such a way that they enhance the size and design of the balcony. Rotate the lights on the balcony railing or place them in a straight line. Also decorate the lights on the frames of windows or doors. This creates a framing effect which looks very beautiful. Combine them with trees, plants, or hanging pots to create a beautiful combination of nature and light. In these, similar colors like warm white fairy lights give a more classic and peaceful look.

2. Create layer decoration with lights – Installing lights in just one straight line can sometimes make a space look dull. It would be better to install the lights at different heights and patterns. You can create a small light curtain by placing dangling lights in one corner. Combine fairy lights with small lamps, candles or lanterns. This creates layers in the light and becomes beautiful. If you have a swing or chair in the balcony, then lights can be installed around it also. Whereas round-shaped or drop-like fairy lights help in creating different patterns.

3. Avoid wires and clutter – Fairy lights look beautiful only when their wiring is neat and free from tangles. Use transparent hooks, adhesive strips or small clips to attach the lights. Keep in mind that the wires should not be too visible. If the wire is on a white wall, then choose white wire only. When the lights do not have to be removed frequently, fairy lights with USB or solar options can be useful.

4. Create attractive corners with lights – There is one spot in every balcony that immediately catches people’s attention, highlight that. Install lights around wall hangings or paintings. If there is a small corner in the balcony, then create a peaceful place by installing delicate lights there. Make a word, shape or design with fairy lights and hang it on the wall. Like heart, star or Happy Diwali.
