Indoor string lights

Pick one (or more) favourites.
Decorate your home with indoor string lights
Stylish fairy lights can be used in every room – from the kids’ bedroom to the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and beyond. If you want to create a warm and cosy atmosphere, go for indoor string lights with a soft yellow glow. White light however gives a cleaner look and shows colours more accurately. Making it ideal for highlighting a gallery wall or decorating shelves and bookcases. For parties and celebrations, coloured fairy lights or ones with colour-changing modes add a playful touch. They’re especially popular with kids, who’ll love being able to switch up the light colours in their own room.

Discover the benefits of LED string lights
LED string lights are a great choice for decorative lighting, whether indoors or outdoors, thanks to their many advantages. One of the biggest benefits of LED technology is its energy efficiency. Compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, LED fairy lights can use up to 80% less electricity, helping you save on energy bills in the long run.
They also last long, with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, so you won’t need to replace them as often. Another major plus: LED bulbs produce very little heat, making them a safer option in the home – especially around flammable materials, children, or pets. LED string lights also come in a wide range of vibrant colours and brightness levels, so you can create just the right mood in any room.
Seven creative ways to use indoor string lights
Indoor LED string lights can be used in all sorts of fun and creative ways around your home. If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, here are some of our favourite ideas:
- Write with lights: Use rope lights to create your own custom light-up sign on the wall – what you write is entirely up to you. Attach the rope with small, discreet nails and aim for a script-style flow with soft curves.
- Wrap a string of small fairy lights around a decorative branch and hang it above your dining table, as wall décor, or even as a dreamy canopy in a child’s bedroom.
- Highlight your best posters or photos by framing them with a string of lights. Neutral white is ideal here, as it keeps the colours crisp and true to life.
- Place a bunch of lights or a light bouquet inside your favourite vase – a long-lasting and eye-catching alternative to fresh flowers. Try placing the vase in a dim corner that needs a little brightening up.
- Hang indoor string lights by the bed for a gentle glow or even as a soft headboard. This works especially well for small spaces, helping to create a calm atmosphere and define the sleeping area.
- LED lights that stay cool can also be used for fun DIY projects – create your own lampshades or light covers to match your personal style or party colour theme.

FAQ
How much electricity does an LED string light use per day?
LED string lights use very little energy. For example, a set with 100 bulbs typically consumes around 6 watts. If you leave it on for 6 hours a day, it will use about 0.036 kWh daily. To calculate the daily cost, simply multiply this number by your electricity provider’s price per kWh.
How do you hang string lights indoors?
To hang indoor string lights, you can use small transparent hooks or adhesive hooks designed for lightweight items. Be sure to clean the surface first to ensure they stick properly. Plan the route of your lights in advance to avoid stretching or damaging the cable.
Why is my string light blinking?
If your LED string lights start blinking, it’s often caused by residual current. Modern LEDs are highly energy-efficient and require very little power to light up. Even a small amount of current "leaking" through the wiring can cause the lights to flicker or flash intermittently.
