Can Christmas decorations be stylish and whimsical at the same time? Of course they can! Take inspiration from these unique and eye-catching festive light settings, with products you can repurpose year after year. We’ll take you through show-stopping options for your front yard, festive alfresco dining ideas and a backyard fairyland straight out of your childhood Christmas dreams.
Your front yard is going to get the most attention, so why not pull out all the stops? Create a visual story with clever light placement and illuminating statues. For a traditional-themed scene, start styling with reindeer, stars and a bright wreath.
Create a fantasy forest within your garden beds using solar tree-shaped stake lights. Take it a step further by brightening up social areas with twinkling lights.
For a fuller display, use icicle lights. String them along the roof of a verandah or pergola to create an enchanted setting.
Position solar lights to catch the sun during the day. These outdoor colour-changing LED reindeer are installed outside the porch cover to receive maximum daylight.
Light up the kids’ Christmas spirit by surprising them with a festive fairyland at the bottom of the garden. Add gingerbread-house charm to a simple cubby and bring in Yuletide props to get them dreaming of Christmas morning.
See our Christmas cubby house makeover to find out how we transformed a standard flatpack cubby, including step-by-step instructions to creating the painted terracotta pot toadstools and peppermint candy dowel knobs.
Solar novelty lights like these illuminated Christmas trees and toadstools will add to the enchanted look and feel. We turned timber offcuts into fantasy signs – a great low-effort, high-impact D.I.Y. decoration.
Mix classic golden solar-powered reindeer with our kangaroo solar stake lights for festive Aussie fun. Outdoor rope lights wound around plant trainers make a sparkling Christmas ‘tree’.
Get creative! Artfully draped net lights fastened to a hedge with cable ties make a cool 2D Christmas tree.
Safety tipsMake sure any lighting used outside is suitable for the outdoors. Any hard-wired electrical fixtures must be installed by a licensed electrician. Our cubby was set up for photographic purposes only. When assembling and positioning your cubby, carefully follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer. Note: paint colours may vary on application.
Some products are not available at all Bunnings stores but may be ordered.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer.
