Mix ambient string lights with spotlighting on key props like pumpkins or tombstones for layered effects. Use battery LEDs to avoid extension cords and look tidy. Adjust bulb warmth to create cozy shadows that cast eerie yet stylish glows. Highlight pathways for safety and ambiance. Remember to place lights at various heights—from ground-level uplights to hanging lanterns—to draw the eye and create depth for maximum curb appeal and enchantment.
