Ever since putting fairy lights in a jar last year, I’ve been obsessed with the soft glow of string lights in everything from bed canopies to art to ambient lighting on bookcases and shelves. Christmas lights add a touch of whimsy to any space and stir the heart as the days grow darker. I’ve rounded up 30 gorgeous ways to use string lights in your home, whether it’s in Christmas decor or as an everyday use that lasts the whole year long. Enjoy, and let your light shine!
