When lights take the center stage: 8 magical Christmas trees to consider putting up

Lights, at Christmas, are a must and add that extra bit of magic to the holiday. And there are times when they alone steal the whole show and become the focus of attention.

This is certainly the case when it comes to Christmas street lights. But this can easily happen at home too if we invest some time and effort into synching our Christmas tree lights to the surrounding home environment.

To help you along, check out the ideas presented below:

Here is a tree formed only with strings of lights that flow down from the ceiling and reach the floor. This is a spectacular solution for those who want to put up a tree using only lights.

An equally delightful alternative is to make a tree by mounting strings of lights on a wall.

Additionally, here is a wall-mounted tree but which has a 3D look when placed in a corner of a room. 

For those with no time, there are ready-made trees with built-in lights available in shops. They are certainly not the traditional trees with leafy branches. In fact, these trees are bare and only have the lights. That said, they are an excellent choice to satisfy minimalist tastes.

The wall-mounted tree that we have seen above can be enhanced with green foliage, lights or with any other decorations you may want to add.

Another type of wall-mounted tree involves the use of sticks or branches to create the frame: other decorations, including lights, can be added as you wish.

A simple fir tree-shaped wooden silhouette, which suits a modern and minimalist decor, can be "dressed up" with lights and become a very special feature.

And if you really don't want to go for the typical, conical shape of a Christmas tree, any other tree will do. The impact will be stunning after you cover the tree with loads of fairy lights.

Which of these trees would you like to put up in your home?
