Not only do these lights come as a way of brightening a room, but many of them can have different shapes and features. If you would like something other than the customary fairy curtain lights, then you can find lights in different shapes to fit the decor of any room. You can also find many light curtains with different settings, from fast twinkling to slow dim that can change the mood of a room instantly.

Curtain lights can be placed around your room for different effects. When they are hung behind or over your bed, you can create a cove of warm lights that twinkle like fairies around you. If you want a dedicated space for creativity and inspiration, a fairy curtain light placed in a section of your room will maintain that feeling in your space. You can even use them during special events as a beautiful picture backdrop that is easy to set up and take down.
