Decorator Hints For Using Candles In The Home

Accessorize all rooms with a gentle glow and attractive fragrance affordably and easily with candles. Combine colored fragrant or unscented candles with decorative candle holders to accent any room or decor; choose from an unlimited selection of dramatic candle stands, wall sconces, hurricanes and holders to illuminate traditional or casual interiors, emphasize contemporary flair, and add a comfortable welcoming ambiance to any style or theme.

Candles must invariably be trimmed to 1/4" to stave off smoking that discolors candleholders and walls. This functions to allow the candle to burn efficiently and will eliminate the possibility of uneven burning that can result in melted wax to run down the side of the candle. Of course, never leave a burning candle unattended.

When burning several candles in the same room you'll get more fragrant impact if all candles are the same scent or harmonious scents. Pick out fragrant candles that enhance your theme; for instance, fragrances of lavender and honeysuckle combined with a faux floral display will add real to life smells to artificial flowers. Scents like fresh linen is ideal for the bathroom, bedroom, or laundry room, and a baked scent will make it smell like you have been baking the whole day. However, when you are serving food, you should invariably choose unscented candles as fragrant candles can clash with the scent of the food.

Choices for Decor.

You need not limit your candle accessories to one particular style; you can accessorize with candle displays that underscore your existing decor style or theme. For example, dramatic glass cylinders or hurricane holding large pillar candles could accent a very contemporary theme as bold accessories placed atop a bedroom tabletop or a sleek dining room console. On the other hand, a hurricane lamp is a very traditional accent that works with Colonial, country, Old World, Mediterranean or any classic or casual look. Candlelight goes with any theme or style and candle wall sconces can accent any type of wall art decor, from musical wall decorations to metal wall balloons decorations.

You can impart a luminous glow to any area with candle wall sconces. Bring drama and atmosphere to a living room, bedroom, kitchen or entry. Choose elaborate or simply modern sconces depending on your preference and personal style; from raw to painted wrought iron, wood, porcelain and ceramic, or metal, you'll find sconces that work wonderfully with your decor, bathing a room with softly illumination to highlight your favorite fabrics, patterns and accessories.

Combine candles with other accessories to create focal points on a wall, a mantel, a table, or any flat surface. Another good idea is to reverbrate glistening candlelight with mirrors and candle sconces. Reflect glowing light throughout the space by placing a mirror between candle sconces or across from them. Add depth and texture by combining hurricane lamps and candle sticks that appeal to you within a floral display, figurines, frames photographs, baskets, wall clocks, vases, or pottery and metal accents. Add groupings of votive candles in faceted glass holders to extend the glow. Candles and flowers are a classic combination for the top of a dining table; try arranging candles on a silver or mirrored tray to gently reflect candlelight upward.

Crafting any selected atmosphere is limited only by your imagination when adding candlelight to your decor theme. Candles can enhance the look of your existing decor and invite comfort and ease from the sunroom to the mudroom with candlelight.
