Display Guides & Product Advice

We recently partnered with the Parklands Hotel, a 4 star boutique hotel located in the heart of Perth, to pull together a Christmas lights display that would enhance its traditional architecture and lovely gardens

We’re now approaching the end of January, and with the Christmas decorations down, our home can be left feeling empty and bare, but fairy lights are a great way to keep the warm glow in your home and garden long after the festivities have ended.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of year; a time of joy, a time for love and cheer, and a time for making memories to last throughout the year.

We have assembled a list of 12 of our favourite family friendly Christmas films for you to enjoy this festive season, from classics to hidden gems, we’ve got you covered with exactly what to watch this month.

A question we often get asked is ‘How many lights do I need for my tree?’, and this really is a great question, because the amount of lights you use greatly effects the overall sparkle effect you get from your Christmas tree.

Christmas is right around the corner and if you are anything like us you might already be thinking about setting up those string lights and getting out that Christmas tree from your loft ready for all the festivities.

With Halloween right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about decorating your home or business for the spooky season!

I think this is a question most of us who work here have been asked. And, It makes sense, I mean we quite literally have the word ‘Christmas’ in our name.

Summer is almost here, and if you are anything like us you’ll have been swooning over images of sunny garden retreats, sun-soaked beer gardens and alfresco dining locations on your social media feeds.

From twinkling string lights to vintage festoon lights, the right wedding lighting can express your style and create an unforgettable atmosphere.

At Christmas Direct we want you to get the best use out of your purchase.  We’ve put together this handy guide to show you how to tighten your bulbs enough to get a good, weatherproof seal, without over tightening and damaging the set.

Want to talk our language? we’ve compiled a list of handy terms which will help you when shopping for lights.

At Christmas Direct, we believe this should be a thing of the past. Lights shouldn’t just be for Christmas, they should be for this Christmas, next Christmas and the Christmases after.

Festoon lights are the biggest trend in lighting right now. You may know them as bistro lights, café lights, large globe lights …. the list goes on.

Get creative with the kids (and the grown ups!) this Christmas! We’re big fans of anything that gets the creative juices flowing for kids and encourages families to have fun together to make personalised gifts.

Christmas wreaths and garlands are almost imperative to create a warm, cosy, classic Christmas feel.  Whether you opt for real foliage or artificial decorations, they can add an eye catching touch to any festive display.

To us, Christmas should be a year-round event. We love the vast variety of lights that twinkle, sparkle, and even change colours to invoke the Christmas spirit. Yet choosing the perfect string of lights can become an overwhelming decision making process.

Whatever the size of your outdoor space, it can be transformed with careful lighting. Just a few fairy lights twinkling in the trees can truly add atmosphere to even the most low key of evenings.

In most homes and Christmas displays, your tree is the focal point so it’s important to get it right.  If you have decided to invest in an artificial Christmas tree then always try to buy the best possible tree for your money
