18 Holiday Rooftop Displays You’ll Want to Copy

Good as gold. Metallic reindeer make an elegantly festive rooftop display – especially when surrounded by twinkle-lit Christmas trees.

When you want to go big with your rooftop decorations, you can’t go wrong with one, two or a few festive inflatables like these showcased at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland. Think Santa, reindeer, snowmen, nutcrackers or any other festive characters that show your ho-ho-happy spirit this season.

The perfect finishing touch: when your lawn and front door are decked out to the max with colourful lights and seasonal cheer, use your rooftop to create a glowing garnish – as this home does with pretty lines of green rooftop lights highlighting a garland-adorned front porch.

When decorating your roof for the holidays, don’t forget about the chimney – consider wrapping it with a string of outdoor lights for a fun twist on traditional style (and to show Santa just where to land his sleigh).

While a holiday wreath makes a welcoming addition to your front door, it’s also a charming way to turn up the cheer factor on your rooftop decor. Bonus points for matching your rooftop wreath with your overall Christmas-light design scheme.

Who says you need snow for a winter-white Christmas? Adding glowing white lights to your roof, house and yard creates a magical look – without having to shovel any snow.

The season of cheer is a present to us all, so why not opt for an homage to the Christmas tree in your outdoor decor – complete with gifts, stars and glowing lights?

Feeling frosty? Lustrous white icicle lights are contemporary classics when it comes to holiday decor – and they create the look of a wintery wonderland (whether it snows or not).

If you can’t go extreme at the holidays, when can you? If you’ve got the time and budget, why not deck out your home from driveway to chimney with lights, statues, signs and everything you can dream of to live your best Christmas life. ‘Tis the season, after all!

Love holiday lights? Matching your rooftop lights to light-wrapped trees in the front yard creates a totally cheerful sense of curb appeal.

If you love the festive season, don’t limit your holiday light-scape to just your regular roof – if you have other archways and awnings, add some glow there, too! Consider decorating gates, gazebos and detached garages for extra illumination.
