Fairy lights all year round?

[mamabunt]

Does anyone have fairy lights in their homes all year round? Or are they just a Christmas thing?

All year round in the bedroom. They just instantly make the room feel cosy

I have them on a large pot plant in the living room, on the back wall of the playroom and above our bed all year round.

I do, and have done for years. I have them in the kitchen and also in my hall. It's a nicer tone of light than a stark overhead bulb. Candles lit and my fairy lights on is a simple joy. They make me happy.

Not that keen on the look but each to their own.

I always thought they could be a fire risk and sometimes they are

Loads. Life is too short not to have sparkly lights on wherever you want them!

They're cosy, low energy and keep rooms feeling warmer than having them pitch black.

I prefer warm white ones.

I love twinkly light inside and also love candles, and outdoor festoon lights in the garden too.

I’m not sure I’d actually do it inside all year around as it feels a bit studenty but do actually love the effect.

I think I need to set up a cosy little reading nook with twinkly lights!

I don't, but I'd quite like to. I might put some up in my bedroom.

I do.
One set over the top of the kitchen units - cheaper than putting the main lights on.
One set on the top of the dresser - cheaper than a lamp.
One set above the bed in the spare room - cheaper than a lamp.

I do - I have extra long ones (warm white led) across and down framing my patio doors in lounge - much nicer than having the other lights on , cheaper and very low risk

I do, absolutely love them! I opened this thread cautiously as thought all the posts would be sneery about them but they're not, hurrah!!

All year, I put mine on in the early morning while I make the first cup of tea. Makes a dark kitchen feel instantly cosy.

All year round for me.

Thanks for your replies, I'll definitely be leaving them up after Christmas. Jan and Feb are so miserable they might cheer me up.
Found these whilst searching for lights and I think they may have to come and live with me too.

All year round in the summerhouse, it feels really cosy.

I would like some more, perhaps in the sitting room.

Solor fairly lights in the garden
White ones
Yellow ones
Coloured ones

And 6 solor lights hung on the tree right at the end of the garden.

Do people tend to use battery powered ones or mains? And are battery powered as risky (in terms of fires) as mains ones?

Ohhhhhh yes! Have done for years

All year

I’ve just counted 5 sets that we have all year round in various rooms. We don’t use them all every day, but they do make the house feel cosy and cheerful. Ours are all warm white. One of the sets gets moved on to a Christmas tree in December, then back onto a bookcase when Christmas is over.

They look fabulous

Great means I’ll enjoy my lights when I get them in the sales I can clean up. Warm white 0nes.

I do! Been doing it ever since I was a student as it's cheery and I'm now well north of 50. I can count three sets (one is actual Noma bulbs not LED) from where I'm sitting and there's another two in other rooms. Three more sets are outside in the holly bushes that only get switched on in December/Christmas because they're bustards to put up and there's never a dry weekend to do it.

I'm leaving that autocorrect typo cos I like it.
