Custom Holiday Lighting Design in Chicago
Every Light Up Your Holidays project starts with a custom design. We don’t work from templates, and we don’t do the same thing on every house.
Your home is unique, and your holiday display should be too. Our designers look at your home’s architecture, rooflines, mature trees, landscaping, entryways, and outdoor living spaces, then create a personalized plan that fits your style and your budget. Classic and elegant, warm and traditional, colorful and playful, or modern and minimal.
Whatever you love, we design around it. You see the plan before we install a single light. No surprises, no guesswork.
What's Included
Architectural Assessment
We study your home's style, rooflines, and landscape to design a display that complements your property rather than competing with it.
Style Consultation
We talk through what you love. Show you examples. Help you decide between approaches. There's no wrong answer.
Personalized Design Plan
You receive a custom plan showing exactly what your display will look like. This is your design, built for your home.
Material Selection
We recommend the right commercial-grade materials for your design, from warm white LEDs to multi-colored options, garlands, wreaths, and specialty pieces.
Budget Alignment
We design within your budget. If your vision exceeds your budget, we'll offer creative alternatives that still look incredible.
How It Works
Schedule your free design call. Tell us about your home and what you're envisioning.
We visit your property (or review photos) and assess the architecture and landscape.
We create your personalized design plan with material recommendations and pricing.
You review, adjust if needed, and approve. Then we schedule installation.
Why Go Professional?
Professional vs. DIY: Time (8 to 25+ hours), safety (ladders), quality (commercial-grade LEDs), stress-free
Without Professional Help
Weekends on ladder, untangling lights from last year, climbing up and down your roof, and hoping it all looks okay when you plug it in.
With Light Up Your Holidays
Schedule a call, tell us what you want, and have your entire home professionally designed and installed in a single day. Show up, flip the switch, and feel proud every time you pull into your driveway.
Creating Experiences That Last
The difference between a house with lights and a home that looks like it belongs on a holiday card comes down to design. Anyone can clip a box of lights along a roofline. But designing a display that works with your home’s architecture, draws the eye in the right direction, and creates the feeling you’re going for? That takes a trained eye and 20 years of experience.
That’s what we bring to every project.

FAQ Questions
Yes. Every project includes a personalized design plan that you review and approve before we install anything. You’ll see exactly what the display will look like, which materials we’ll use, and what it will cost. If you want to make changes, we adjust the plan until you’re happy with it.
The design consultation is free. The cost of the project depends on the size of your home, the complexity of the design, and the materials involved. We provide detailed pricing as part of the design plan so there are no surprises. Most residential projects fall between $X and $X. [KELLY TO VERIFY: pricing range]
Yes. We design comprehensive holiday plans that cover exterior lighting, interior decorating, or both. Many of our clients want a cohesive look inside and out, and we coordinate both elements so everything flows together.
That’s completely normal and that’s exactly what the design consultation is for. We’ll ask you a few questions about your style preferences, show you examples of our work, and help you figure out what will look and feel right for your home. By the end of the conversation, you’ll have a clear vision.
