Battery/plug in fairy lights and picture rails

[WellTidy]

We have a 1910s house with high ceilings and picture rails. I’d like to have fairy light going round the room this Christmas, but how do I do that? The room is quite large and I don’t want to have cables falling down the walls to plus them into sockets, but I don’t really know where I’d put the battery packs if they were battery operated lights. And also how do you get the lights to stay in place?! We had the room re-plastered a year or so ago and I dont want to drill holes for the sake of a bit of atmosphere.

Command do tiny little clear plastic hooks for fairy lights, they come in packs of 40 which are good value. I get plug in fairy lights with clear strings from Amazon so you can't see the wire that much at all and run them round the tops of the ceilings, then have it plugged in to a timer plug so you don't have to mess around turning them off or on. If you trail the clear wire that leads to the plug down the corner of a room it sort of blends into the corner and you don't notice it imo!

Thank you! Would you mind linking to the kind of lights you mean please? I’m struggling to find ones that are long enough (room is a decent size reception room) and have clear cable.

The 400 LED set are 40m in length and I have them, I also have these;

Which are 120m 😊 both warm white, clear cables and plug in! They have remotes too to turn on and off which is handy, I only ever have them on the solid on setting really (occasionally twinkle!) and they're fab.
