We love a holiday that requires (or better said, encourages) some type of fun decoration to be displayed around the home. Though St. Patrick’s Day was initially celebrated in Ireland to honor one of the country’s patron saints, it has since transformed into a cultural holiday celebrated in many countries. Almost everyone is Irish on 17 March! So why not use a bit of green to celebrate the occasion? From the simplest ideas like plastic cups dotted with shamrocks to chicer options, such as rainbow wall decor, there’s so much to explore- the best of which we’ll share right here. St. Patrick’s Day Lighting Ideas There’s no better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with cute lighting ideas (case in point: lighting fixtures from Govee). 1. Decorate Your House with Permanent Outdoor Lights Credit: Ms1&ONLY Invest in the permanent outdoor lights from Govee to give your home a makeover that shines during the holiday season but also looks just as good year-round. Credit: a&r lightning Think of it as holiday decorating, but smarter. Instead of hanging temporary lights that come down a week later, permanent outdoor lights stay installed and can be customized for any celebration. For St. Patrick’s Day, simply switch the colors to festive greens, soft golds, or even a playful rainbow palette. 2. Use TV Backlight to Sync the Holiday Mood Credit: Goldoveeee The Govee TV Backlight can transform your TV into part of the St. Patrick’s Day decor. Set the backlight to vibrant greens to match the theme, or go all out with rainbow colors that mimic the classic pot-of-gold vibe. The lighting extends beyond the edges of the TV and spills onto the wall behind it, so it’s a whole vibe! Watching a St. Patrick’s Day parade probably hasn’t ever felt this festive before. 3. St. Patrick’s Day Wall Decor with DIY Curtain Lights Walls are the perfect canvas to showcase your favorite decor, and when it’s something as funky as these curtain wall lights? An absolutely incredible 2-in-1 St. Patrick’s Day wall decor idea! Hang them behind a window, along a blank wall, or even across a large mirror. Then set the LEDs to glowing greens, lucky shamrock patterns, or rainbow animations. You can even design custom displays in the app, like pots of gold or playful scrolling messages that say “Lucky You!” or “Happy St. Patrick’s Day.” St. Patrick’s Day Outdoor Decoration Ideas 5. Oversized Clover Wreath A cute, minimal idea to create a warm welcome for anyone who arrives. Just cut a four-leaf clover from a sturdy piece of cardboard, then use hot glue to attach reindeer moss to the leafy shapes of the clover. Wrap its stem in a thin natural rope, and hang the final piece on your front door with a string attached to the back of the leaf. 6. Lucky Clover Banner Credit: Blue Susan Makes Again, a simple addition that can instantly bring festive energy to any space. Start by cutting five clover shapes (or however many you need) from green felt using a printable template. For an extra handmade touch, decorate each clover with simple embroidery stitches using a darker-green thread. Once the clovers are ready, line them up and attach them to a piece of twine or string, leaving a little space between each one. That’s it. Your banner is ready! 7. Painted Lucky Letters Credit: Design Improvised There are so many cute ideas for your windowsills, too. Replicate this idea entirely, or just pick one of your favorite options. We love the “LUCKY” sign because it’s a super easy project of wood letters + various shades of paint, and looks stunning! 8. Lucky Felt Flag Use this cute idea to show how lucky you’re feeling. Buy a canvas flag (or make it with cardboard), then lay painter’s tape an inch apart, and paint colorful stripes to fill the gaps. Once dried, stick gold-painted letters that spell “lucky” and finish with a mini shamrock below. 9. Pot of Gold Credit: The 36th Avenue No St. Patrick’s Day outdoor setup feels complete without a little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Luckily, this craft is as easy as it is eye-catching. Simply refresh a thrifted pot with some gold sparkles around the rim, then fill it with yummy gold-wrapped candies and chocolates. St. Patrick’s Day Party Decoration Ideas 10.
