Your Christmas décor just isn't the same without the twinkling of fairy lights here and the ambient glow of a flickering candle there. If you've already nailed your outdoor illumination, now's the time to concentrate on your festive indoor lighting.

From subtle pre-lit garlands and tableaus to rooms that glitter like a grotto, click or scroll on and check out these Christmas lighting looks to dazzle every inch of your home. 

Push your festive lighting scheme to new heights with an illuminated centrepiece suspended above the Christmas table. This floating wreath combines Douglas fir fronds, eucalyptus and faux berries, intertwined with twinkling fairy lights.

If you want to go all-out on your living spaces this Christmas, consider swapping out a normal pendant light shade for something a little more novel.

This beautiful star-shaped lantern shade exudes an inviting glow. Not only does it make a stunning focal point in rooms with taller ceilings, but the warming, yellow-hued light is a great way to shake up the ambience in a lounge and transition your space into a cosy, festive retreat.

Candles are a simple and effective way to introduce the Christmas spirit into your home, however, they're also a fire risk. Battery-operated candles are a brilliant alternative if you're looking to create an atmospheric scene with lots of visual impact. 

Here, an array of electric candles, from tea lights to pillar candles and multi-wick designs, are peppered among a pile of presents. It's a genius way to turn the foot of the tree into a decorative showpiece in its own right. 

Windowsills make a wonderful backdrop for a Christmas light display. During the day, festive shapes add a whimsical touch, then when night falls, their lights will sparkle both inside and out.

Utilise large window ledges by decorating with pre-lit ornaments in classic Christmas designs such as stars and look for LED battery-powered versions to avoid messy wires.

Add sparkle to your Christmas-themed bed with a string of simple festive lights. Fasten LED strip lights securely around a headboard or drape classic fairy lights across in a more relaxed fashion.

Filled with endearing ornaments and glittering embellishments, the finished tree will be a glittering masterpiece.

Light up a dark hallway with a stunning stair garland to guide the way. Start this statement look with a base of artificial garlands and then weave in real greenery. Add LED battery-operated lights to avoid hazardous cables and embellish with baubles, silver leaves, flowers and feathers.

Finish the look with brush trees and lanterns placed at the bottom of the staircase.

Up the festive factor by decorating your interior doors and walls with pre-lit wreaths. This simple wire wreath has a pair of pretty illuminated brush trees nestled amongst silver baubles and whispery ferns. Simple yet stylish, it's a beautiful way to fill your home with festive light.

Indoor Christmas lanterns in the shape of houses look spectacular as festive decorations or as part of a Christmas village set. Candlelight shines through the tiny windows creating a glowing tableau that's straight out of a fairytale. We love the vintage look of these miniature burnished brass buildings. 

Here's an alternative lighting idea to bring the festive season into your bedroom. Pretty up a pastel-toned scheme with a trio of white pre-lit twig trees. Complement the look by hanging pink and silver paper decorations from ribbons above the bed. 

Light up your window panes and impress the neighbours with simple fairy lights intertwined with hanging decorations. Choose snowflake shapes and metallic tones that will reflect and sparkle as they move and twist in the soft light.

Give your staircase a Nordic feel with a wall display of white illuminated stars. Continue the shining scheme by placing LED pillar candles on each stair – never use real naked flames on stairs.

Take a break from traditional Christmas tree lights this year. Instead, conjure up a colourful glow that guests will never forget.

If you don't have a mantlepiece at home, this could be the perfect au naturel spot to hang stockings from on Christmas Eve. 

Create a timeless Christmas light display on a console table with a run of pre-lit brush Christmas trees. Lush greenery, bright berries and woodland motifs enveloped in a warm glow are classic festive favourites that will never date. 

Add extra sparkle to your woodland-themed Christmas table by channelling a line of pretty lights down the centre. Add battery-operated candles at staggered levels, followed by foliage, decorations and ornaments. Finally, wind fairy lights through the display for a glittering finish.

Here's a simple Christmas lighting idea that will update any empty fireplace in an instant. Group a set of three pre-lit Christmas gift boxes in a vacant hearth for a touch of glowing festive cheer. With their metallic silver ribbons and bows, this trio oozes style and sophistication.

Create a winter scene on the mantel or Christmas table with a tableau of whimsical ceramic trees. Cluster a mini forest together in refreshing tones of green and white – opt for a design with tiny pinholes and fill the hollow centres with LED lights that will cast intricate shapes and shadows around the room. 

Welcome guests into your home over the holiday period with a woodland wall hanging in the hallway.

You could even hang a wreath entwined with fairy lights above the mantel for the perfect glittery centrepiece.

A beautiful way to frame a window over the holidays, this idea is so effective yet simple to achieve.

A brilliant way to deck the halls on a budget, we love this clever illuminated Christmas card display that's simple to put together.

Choose a selection of holiday cards with a coherent colour scheme and attach them to the wall in a pyramid design with an adhesive that won't damage your paintwork. Then, highlight that classic Christmas tree silhouette with fairy lights strung up from the top. 

Delicate copper wire lights are perfect for coiling up and popping inside glass jars or lanterns. Hang them from shelves, place on a window sill or use them as a centrepiece for the Christmas table and let them shimmer away. 

Make festive meal prep more fun by giving your kitchen a touch of twinkle. The simplest way is to string fairy lights around shelves and cabinets.

Or, look for fun neon signs that spell out festive messages and use them to showcase seasonal cookware and other decorations. 

Indoor Christmas lighting has as much to do with attention to detail as it does with wow-factor festive light shows.
