Decide where to hang your Twinkly lights

Deciding where to hang your lights will help you identify which lights to use. You want your summer lights to be near you and your guests to elevate the mood. If you're staying indoors, hang them around your entryway or over windows. String them on house plants and check out Twinkly’s indoor LED wall art like Squares and Flex to decorate walls around the TV, all described below.

If you’re going to be outdoors, evaluate areas to decorate. For example, hang them over guest areas and patios, deck railings, fences and exterior home walls. Before diving into your Olympic-themed lighting setup, measure your space to ensure you have enough outdoor lights. Identify where outdoor power outlets are located and gather supplies like hooks or nails to secure your outdoor lights.

Find ideas for a color scheme

The Olympics are represented by five interlaced rings, each a different color: blue, yellow, black, green, and red. These colors can serve as the base for your summer lighting decoration. For example, use the Twinkly app to set your smart lights to cycle through these five colors or create custom lighting patterns that incorporate all of them. You can customize any preset effect to play the Olympic colors.

Another option is to decorate with the colors of your country's flag. An exclusive selection of flags is available for download in the Explore Section of the Twinkly app. If you don’t find yours, use the FX Wizard to design flag effects from scratch by starting with a template and modifying the colors and speed of the animation. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try customizing any preset effects in the Effects Gallery to represent your nation.

Since Twinkly lights are completely customizable, you can leave them up as everyday decor or use them for any other special occasions and gatherings.
