There is so much to love about fall: pumpkin and apple picking, hayrides, corn mazes, trick or treating, football, Thanksgiving dinners, changing leaves, crisp air - the list goes on! And as the days get shorter, exterior lighting starts playing a more prominent role in our home decorations. Lighted cupolas are a great way to enhance your home’s exterior and add a new dimension to your seasonal decor.

Trick or Treat: How to Dress Up Your Cupola for Halloween

  • Set the mood with a colored bulb - There are two ways to light a cupola: with a cupola lantern suspended from the ceiling of the cupola, or by placing a standard light bulb at the bottom of the cupola. Pairing a colored bulb (such as purple) with this upward lighting method is a quick and easy way to create a spooky glow on your roofline.
  • Decorate the outside of the glass - Cobwebs draped over your lighted cupola will give it a spooky glow at night. You could also apply cut-out shapes to your cupola’s windows (such as ghosts or witches on brooms) to cast fun shadows at night. You could even create a jack-o-lantern face on your cupola and pair it with an orange bulb for a one-of-a-kind decoration!
  • ​Subtle lighting for dramatic effect - A lighted cupola also can be used to keep your decorations from losing their effect after sundown. It can also enhance their spook factor as sometimes the scariest decorations are the ones that take a while to notice. For example, a giant spider on your roof is fairly visible during the day, but can be hard to spot at night. Place the spider just on the edge of your cupola’s circle of light so that it appears to be lurking in the shadows.

Home Sweet Home: Cozy Fall Ideas for Your Cupola

If you prefer pumpkins and gourds to witches and ghouls, you can deck out your cupola for Thanksgiving and fall. You could hang a gorgeous fall wreath on your cupola, adding color and texture to your roofline, or you could add a lantern to your cupola. Lanterns are a classic fall decoration as they add a cozy and inviting glow to your home. A lighted cupola is a welcoming beacon to family and friends as you gather for food and fun. We offer a variety of cupola lanterns to match your home’s style and personality. From coastal onion lanterns to traditional pineapple lanterns, our cupola lanterns help tell your home’s story.
