Holiday Décor Guide Decorating with Stars

As the holiday season approaches, you may be looking for innovative ways to decorate your home. Sprucing up your holiday decorations can be a great way to get in the holiday spirit and spread cheer to the entire family. Using stars to decorate brings color and elegance to your holiday decor. In this guide, we will be focusing on the best ways to decorate with stars for the holidays. Learn the difference between Moravian and flat-fold Aurora stars, how to choose the right color for your home, and the best options for indoors and outdoors.

The Moravian star is typically a 26-pointed star that you see quite often around the holiday season. The Moravian star usually appears in the form of lamps or hanging pendants that can be seen on porches or at the top of trees. Originating in Germany, the Moravian star is a traditional symbol of God and corresponds with the star of Bethlehem. Though it started as a religious symbol, many people have adopted its use without having any religious affiliation.

The majority of the Moravian stars come in white or off-white, but they can be found in red, gold, yellow, and blue. Other colors may be available, but it will take a bit of searching. To decide on the best color for your home, first take stock of the other decorations you plan to use for the holidays. Do you like to have all your decor matched around the house? Or do you have too much of one color and need to mix it up? Adding a colorful star can create a beautiful addition to an all-white decor. The possibilities are endless!

Flat-fold Aurora stars, on the other hand, look more like your typical stars with five points. Easy to fold up and put away after the holiday season, these lightweight foldable star lights are made with polypropylene plastic to make them waterproof and resist tearing. They have holes all around the star so the light in the middle can shine through. Aurora stars also come in white most of the time, but there are many other colors to be found. Aurora lights are typically rated for both indoor and outdoor use but be sure to check the specific rating for the one you decide to purchase.

If you're looking for something a bit smaller and less flashy, then stringed lights with stars on them can be a good option for special events and holiday celebrations. There are many different varieties available, and the stars can be both large and small, depending on your specific needs. String lights are also usually durable in all conditions and can be used both indoors and outdoors for decorations. Whether you'd like to cover a tree, porch, or patio with stars, string lights offer tremendous versatility to create holiday cheer.

Decorating your home for the holidays doesn't have to be stressful or expensive. There are many options available for Christmas lights available at different price ranges. If you are more of a DIY type, here is a simple and inexpensive option for stars.
