Fairy Lights (Jugnu Lights) Decoration Ideas for Your Room and Walls

Fairy lights, also called jugnu lights, are thin strings of small LEDs that turn a plain room into a warm, glowing one. The easiest fairy lights decoration ideas are a string over the bed, a few strings hanging down a wall like a curtain, fairy lights with your photos clipped on them, or one string round a window or a mirror.

This guide is from SmartShoppers.pk, where we sell LED fairy lights and star string lights with delivery across Pakistan. Each of our fairy lights strings is 15 to 18 ft long, in Warm/Gold, White or Multi colour.

How to put fairy lights on a wall

To put fairy lights on a wall, fix the string with small wall hooks or clear tape every foot or so, starting at the end nearest the socket. Fix the top line first, then let the rest drape or hang down. Tuck any spare wire behind furniture so only the lights show.

To know how many fairy lights strings you need, measure the line you want to light and divide by 15 ft. A headboard or a mirror usually takes one string; a curtain of lights takes more, because the string goes up and down the wall many times.

Where to hang fairy lights at home

Fairy lights over the bed

Fairy lights along the top of the headboard, or in a few loose loops on the wall above the bed, are a simple bedroom idea. Warm/Gold gives the soft glow most people want in a bedroom.

A curtain of lights on a plain wall

For a curtain of fairy lights, fix the string along the top of the wall, then let it hang down and come back up in long straight lines, a hand’s width apart. It turns an empty wall into the main feature of the room, behind a bed, a sofa in the living room or a dressing table.

Fairy lights on a wall with photos

Hang fairy lights across the wall in a few rows and clip your photos or cards on them with small clothes pegs. This fairy light wall design suits a bedroom, a hostel room or a study corner.

Round a window or curtain rod

Wind fairy lights round the curtain rod, or fix them along the window frame. In the evening the window glows from outside too, a nice touch for Eid, Ramadan, weddings and Christmas.

Round a mirror

Tape fairy lights round the back edge of a mirror so only the lights show. On a dressing table mirror they give a soft light for getting ready.

A heart, star or crescent on the wall

Mark a shape lightly with a pencil, then fix the fairy lights along it with small hooks or tape. A crescent and star are a nice touch for Ramadan and Eid.

Along a shelf or in a glass jar

Lay fairy lights along a bookshelf or a TV cabinet, or push a battery string into a clear glass jar or bottle for a small table lamp. Our Warm/Gold fairy lights also come battery operated, so there is no wire to the socket.

Star string lights for a kids’ room

Our star string lights hang like fairy lights, but each light is a clear star that glows pink, green, blue or purple. Hang them over the bed or along a wall in a kids’ room. The same string also comes with tree or bell shapes instead of stars.

Which fairy light colour suits your room?

Our fairy lights come in three colours:

• Warm/Gold: a soft yellow glow. Best for bedrooms and living rooms.
• White: a bright, cool white. Suits white walls and a modern room.
• Multi: multicolour. Fun for a kids’ room or a party.
