Holiday Lighting and Decor for St. James Homes
Beyond roofline and tree lighting, St. James homeowners can add pre-lit wreaths, garlands, pre-decorated trees, oversized ornaments, fiberglass figures and animatronics from our Christmas Decor, Fotodiastasi and Designer Collection catalogs.
Every Long Island town has its own personality, and St. James is no exception. Sitting along Long Island's North Shore in the Town of Smithtown, it has the kind of homes and streets that come alive once the lights go up in December.
Locals know St. James for the shops along Lake Avenue, but in December the houses get their turn in the spotlight.
What we consider for homes in St. James
Every house is different, and our expert lighting designers start with what makes yours unique. In St. James, a few considerations come up again and again:
Think about the view you see most, whether it is pulling into the driveway or looking out the front window, and design for that moment.
Where houses are close together, a well-planned roofline and doorway can make a big impression without crowding the lot.
On a deep lot the view from the road can be a long way from the house, so the design often starts at the entrance and builds toward the front door.
Steep colonial and Victorian rooflines come with dormers and gables, so deciding where the light should stop matters as much as deciding where it starts.
Tall evergreens make natural focal points, and lighting one or two well often looks richer than lighting every tree halfway.
