Beautify Your Home Decor with Candles & Create an Inviting Space

Candles create a warm beauty in your home like no other home decor accessory. They light up a room and set the mood with colors or scents of flowers, foods, or spices. They illuminate the seasons with a warm glow  and delightful smells. Now, let's explore some creative ways to spruce up and beautify your home decor with candles & create an inviting space.

Create Multi-Dimensional Focal Points in a Room

Candles come in a variety of sizes and heights. There are wide, short, tall, thin, and medium sized candles of all different colors. You can arrange candles of different heights and sizes to create dimensional focal points on a table, fireplace mantle, mirror shelf, or wherever candles will fit.  Place candles from the smallest to the largest in groups of three to five to create an appealing display.  

Use Candles to Enhance Other Decor Items

Floral arrangements, photos, paintings, and figurines seem to come to life when a candle is nearby.  Light the candle in the evening to illuminate special centerpieces.  Taper candles, pillar candles, or globe candles work great for highlighting other eye-catching items of your decor.

Set the Mood with Candles

For a romantic setting, add votives around a hot tub, bath, or bedroom to set the mood.  For best results and longer burning times, always use votive holders. Use multiple votives of the same or various colors to create a more elaborate candles setting.  For holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, set the mood for your gathering with scented candles.  Some great scents for the holidays are cinnamon, vanilla, apple, cranberry, cookies, and other holiday delights. 

For parties, buy scented or unscented candles that are colorful and fit for the occasion. Brighten an anniversary party with white, green, or beige candles, which are decorative without drawing too much attention.  

Red, orange, green, white, or beige candles work well for the holidays. For a poolside party, use floating tealight candles to light up the pool and dazzle your guests. 

Crafty Candles

If you enjoy decorating your home with candles, tie ribbons around several plain candles to bind them in a decorative pose. Use saucers, flowerpots, old lanterns, and so forth to create your own unique candleholders.  Create the type of decor you want in every room with a little creativity. 

Candle Safety Tips

Before lighting a candle, be sure the candle is in a proper holder for burning. Never set the candle on a wood or plastic surface; candleholders can become extremely hot after burning a while.  Place burning candles on a metal service if possible.

For a safer way to enjoy scented or unscented candles, use a candle warmer.  Candle warmers melt the candle while giving off its maximum sent. Warmers also enable you to use the candle longer without burning it up.  Just make sure that the warmer is placed on a non-flammable surface such as metal.  

Keep an eye on candles and never leave them unattended for long periods of time. Never, place a burning candle too close to flammable objects such as silk flowers, cloth or clothing.  

Blend colorful, sweet smelling candles throughout your decor to add beauty to every room of your home.
