Now, I have somewhat of a reputation for liking shiny things, so you can imagine how quickly I said yes when Lights4Fun asked if I wanted to review their new Autumn decorations range! In fact, I had already spent a lot of time browsing these new products as I already own quite a lot of their lovely things. I completely go to town on our outdoor Christmas decorations, and have been hankering after decorating our new back door for Autumn and Halloween. I’ll be throwing some real pumpkins into the mix when Halloween gets closer too.
We are in the middle of a kitchen extension – well I say ‘middle’ but it’s more getting towards the end now (thank goodness!). Mr W is doing all of the work himself on an evening and weekend so it’s been a looong process. The outside of the extension is finished, he is just working on the inside now. I love our new back door – solid hardwood and double glazed – £80 bargain from Ebay! It’s much wider and taller than a regular door, but we bought it before the doorway was built and made the doorway to fit the door! Anyway, I have staged the door with these gorgeous decorations, I took photos in daylight, then later when it got dark (don’t miss the ones in the dark, make sure you scroll down – they are the stars of the show!)
The lanterns were my own anyway, but came from Lights4Fun originally. They are solar and light up really brightly, even with our less than stellar at times Yorkshire sun!
The pumpkins are battery powered but have a 6 hour timer, so they will come on at the same time every day then turn off again after 6 hours.
The candles are also battery powered and are turned on and off in one go by a remote control (so no fiddly individual switches).
The Autumn oak leaf wreath also comes with battery powered lights that have the 6 hour timer function. This wreath is 50cm wide which is a good large wreath, which you perhaps don’t get a true sense of because of my oversized door.
As you can very well imagine, the door transformed as soon as dusk fell.
Just see how glorious the little golden pumpkins look! The candles flicker too in a most realistic way.
I am loving the white ceramic pumpkin, and how welcoming does the wreath look all lit up?
Have I got you feeling the need for bonfires and pumpkin spice lattes now?
We were sent products from the Autumn decorations range at Lights4Fun to review – as always all opinions expressed are my own.
