Christmas light design software visualizing a holiday lighting plan on a home

North Pole Design Studio

Christmas Light Design Software for Homeowners & Installers

Plan Christmas lights on a photo of the actual property before a single clip goes up. Lay out C9 rooflines, mini lights, greenery, and permanent lighting, then review the scope and material quantities your plan creates.

Open the Design Studio Plan the Project First

Visual planning and estimation only. Final measurements, electrical requirements, attachment methods, access, and installation layout should be verified for the actual property.

What you can plan

Design the display as one complete project

A holiday display works better when the roofline, trees, greenery, and permanent-lighting choices are evaluated together. The Studio gives those elements one visual workspace.

C9 rooflines and architecture

Lay out seasonal C9 runs across rooflines, ridges, windows, archways, garages, and other architectural lines so the design can be reviewed before installation.

Mini lights and trees

Plan mini-light coverage on trees and other landscape elements, then compare the visual balance of the display against the rest of the property.

Wreaths, garland, and greenery

Place and adjust greenery on the property photo so wreaths, garland, and accent pieces fit the architecture instead of being chosen in isolation.

Permanent lighting

Map permanent-lighting runs alongside seasonal concepts so homeowners and installers can compare where a year-round system belongs on the structure.

Materials and scope

The planning workspace carries placed elements into material quantities and scope-of-work information, giving the next conversation a clearer starting point.

Homeowner and contractor views

Homeowners can visualize a project before hiring; contractors can use the same planning foundation to communicate a design and prepare the job more clearly.

Two ways to use it

Start in the view that matches your project

Homeowners

See the idea before you hire

Use the property photo to compare lighting and decor choices, then bring a more concrete idea into the contractor conversation.

Installers

Build a clearer project plan

How the workflow fits together

From property photo to a better installer conversation

1
Start with the property
Open the Studio for the audience that fits you and work from a photo of the actual home or property.
2
Build the display
Place lighting runs and decor, adjust the visual layout, and compare the major parts of the display together instead of planning each product separately.
3
Review the plan
Use the resulting scope and material quantities as a planning aid before products are ordered or an installer finalizes the job.
4
Move into the real project
Take the plan into an installer conversation, materials research, or your contractor workflow. Final installation decisions still require project review in the field.
