15 Beautiful Rope Light Ideas
Here are some beautiful rope light ideas that will give your surroundings a gorgeous glow.
1. A Fantasy Garden at Night!
Let’s be honest…
Simple gardens are getting old. People don’t look at the typical home garden the same way anymore…
And it’s not easy to change that.
In daylight, it doesn’t matter much as long as the plants seem lively and thriving. But at night? GIVE THEM SOME COLOR!
Get those rope lights covering your small plants and weeds, the big ones, the ornamentals, the flowers, and the bamboos. Don’t hesitate to install it around, in the pergolas and the decks, columns, and ceilings.
There’s no limit to where you can install rope lights in your garden. It’s time to make it SHINE!
2. Give your Trees Some Life
Don’t like to have everything in your garden flickering? Worry not!
Grab some of those rope lights and start covering the trees in your backyard—the trees in your front yard and garden.
Make them all shine bright!
There’s no downside to this. Your trees will never care, and because rope lights are rarely dangerous, you’ll have a blast making this a reality.
The best of all? Your trees will look AWESOME. Regardless of the species, this is a sure-fire way to make your home trees a lot more attractive.
3. Replace the Leaves for Lights in the Fall
When the summer ends and the fall gets near, trees start losing their leaves.
The result? Leafless trees that go from green and vibrant to dead and lifeless.
How can you fix that? Rope lights can be helpful!
You may not enjoy the tree at its maximum splendor in the day, but when the night arrives, and the lights turn on, it will feel like a totally new specimen.
And what’s better, you don’t have to stick with wrapping trees in the fall only… You can also do so in the winter for Christmas.
In short, you don’t have to leave your trees to look dull when their leaves fall off. Using rope lights can fix that (at least when it gets dark!)
4. What About a Rope-Light Sculpture?
Some rope lights allow for maximum customization. And with that, you shouldn’t go with the usual idea but instead come with something of your own.
What about a sculpture?
Get that rope light on your garden, build a metal or plastic structure, and wrap the light around.
The best about this is that you can come up with anything. Read that again… ANYTHING!
Whatever shape, form, or piece of art you can make will be a great addition to your yard.
From animals to orbs, human figures, artificial trees, and shrubs, or just whatever. The lights are there to be used creatively – so you’re free to do so!
5. Grass Can Light Up Too!
Have a big-ass backyard or front yard with a lawn needing some life? This is probably your best bet!
Spread the rope light all across the garden, make your favorite shape, or go all crazy and just cover it all. Your garden will go from a dark grassy place to a lively and beautiful one.
Sure, it could make the whole grass unwalkable if you use too many. And it could also become a bit dangerous if it rains or children want to play on it.
But if none of those are worries… what’s stopping you?
Try it out and see for yourself. You could completely transform the dullest of lawns into a more exciting one without spending a dime.
ALSO: This could work as a security measure against intruders (animals or not!)
6. The Hanging Rope Lights
One of the simplest ways to give your home a decorative boost without going over the board is to hang the rope lights around.
From the living room to the porch, in the patio and bedrooms, maybe even in the kitchen and around the pool – hang those rope lights and make them look like falling lianas coming off the ceiling.
These will be entirely decorative but will be a TOTAL BLAST!
The place will completely change its appearance into a more appealing area for sure.
And because rope lights can be hanged from anywhere, you’ll have almost total control over how the place looks.
So, does this feel like a great idea? It’s also easy, so there’s no excuse to not try it!
7. Blow Them All Over
Rope or string lights spread around your home, hanged everywhere, stuck to the walls and the ceilings, making the place shine.
This would be the perfect solution for a last-second decoration before a critical celebration. Or it could just be how you want your indoors to look from now on.
Either way, it looks great, doesn’t it?
You can do this all over the house, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Imagine your kitchen looking like a light jungle?
A bedroom ceiling look like shining stars directly from outer space?
Your garden shed shining?
There’s no limit, so you shouldn’t overlook this one.
8. The Bright Walls!
If you don’t want to overdo it, why not just stick those rope/string lights to your wall and call it a day?
That does not only save A LOT of space in your home but also requires A LOT less effort. It’s a win-win.
Plus, you’ll be making your home a lot more attractive, especially in places where you spend a lot of time at night.
This could fit living rooms pretty nicely but could also work outdoors as decoration.
You could make it happen in the garage, on your home’s roof, garden fence or even around the doors and windows.
This one fits pretty nicely with lazy people who have some rope lights hanging around but don’t know what to do with them. If you have 5 minutes, you can set them up this way and put them to work!
9. The Rope Light and the Jar
Many people wouldn’t even think about this – but it certainly looks fantastic!
Got some jars lying around and a rope light looking to shine? Make this happen then!
It’s as easy as it looks. Just open the jar, get the rope lights inside, connect them, and turn them on.
If the lights are solar-powered, that would be a huge plus.
The main advantage of this idea? You can place the jar anywhere you want, and it will probably stand out. Whether it is a tree, bush, landscape border, branches, or the ceiling, and so on and so forth.
You’ll find hundreds of different places at home to make that jar shine. And regardless of where you place it, you won’t regret how beautiful it will look.
10. Rope Light in a Bubble
Ever heard of plastic bubble decorations? They’re pretty cool, affordable, and allow for maximum customization.
One idea that would make these plastic bubbles stand out would be installing some rope lights inside, around, or whatever.
It doesn’t matter how you proceed. The bubble is the perfect solution because the plastic is typically transparent, so it shines even brighter when the lights turn on.
You could use the bubble as a lamp. You could use it to host some plants with the lights. And you could use it as a simple decoration for your garden.
Regardless of how you proceed, you won’t regret it. This is a cheap and enticing way to get those rope lights shining!
11. A Funky Lamp!
Want to go a bit more creative with your rope lights? Make them a lamp!
But just not any lamp, but a funky one.
Get creative, just like you would with a garden sculpture. But this time, indoors (or in your enclosed patio?).
It doesn’t matter what you make of those rope lights as long as you can hang them anywhere you want, turn them up, and brighten the place.
You could use it as simple decoration, but it could also work as an excellent way to light up places. It would be the perfect funky addition to add some style to any site at home.
And because it’s a piece of cake to make and costs almost nothing, you’ll have a blast every step of the way making a lamp like this.
12. The Nightstand Rope-Light Lamp
We say nightstand, but you can use it as a centerpiece for your patio picnic table. For example, you could hang it from the roof under the pool cabana or put it in the center of the patio deck as decoration.
The way to make it is also simple, as long as you can be a bit creative and are willing to put some time into it.
More importantly, it looks GREAT!
You will have a piece that illuminates but also decorates. Wherever you place it, the rope lights with the sculpture-like shape will probably catch some eyes.
And if you feel it doesn’t look great outdoors, you can always bring it inside. Place it close to your reading area, in your office, or on the nightstand…
There are hundreds of lamp and rope light ideas to go for!
13. The Pool and Patio Rope Lights
Why don’t you go for the usual? Some rope lights hanging on your poolside landscape, across the whole patio, making it shine bright.
This is a no-brainer and an option you would never regret. Once you see how rope lights match pools and water gardens like these, you won’t have even a bit of desire to go back.
There’s another advantage from this… IT MAKES THE PLACE PERFECT FOR GATHERINGS!
Bring the barbecue around, some friends, maybe even chairs and umbrellas, and call it a party. Those rope lights will surely make it stand out.
14. The Lighting Patio Umbrella
Your patio umbrella doesn’t have to stay all day when the night comes. Use some rope lights and make it bright enough so you can even play some card under it!
The main advantage? Your umbrella will go from a simple cover against rain and sun to a beautiful piece that adds up to any place.
And it doesn’t have to be an all-time thing. For example, let’s say you’re hosting a get-together with some family or friends on the patio… hang those lights from the umbrella and forget about darkness!
What about a romantic date or dinner? Get those lights around the umbrella and make the place a lot more appealing…
THERE’S NO DRAWBACK! You can make the place light up with little to no effort!
15. Play Around with Plants, Objects, and Animals!
