String Lights and Safe Decorating

I did many book reviews on the topic of hygge as you probably remember from a discussion I made. One thing repeated in these books was to string lights throughout your house. How does one do this without having a fire hazard? What lights do you buy? At what store? I would love to decorate with string lights this winter season. Very cozy for my office and my bedroom. Do you do this? Any tips? Thank you! photo by pixabay

We have 'fairy lights' all round the walls. We only have them on when we are at home so hopefully we won't burn the house down.

@Spontaneo Are you saying you don't know what they are? There is a large variety. Ours are little LED ones all strung along maybe 20 metres of cord. I'll post a photo of them one day.

@JudyEv I am wondering if there are certain or specific string lights. Can you use string lights typically meant for a Christmas tree?

@Spontaneo I’m familiar with the lights I have, but if I were to buy new ones I’d read the box.

I have the one that shape as stars in my bedroom. Very nice but I don't use them often. Pretty as decoration but I prefer brighter light.
