There are many kinds of candles you can buy to decorate your home. Here are just a few types of candles you can choose from when you are planning to bring light and love into your home:
There are many different accessories to help you transform your home into the warm and welcoming home you have always dreamed of having. Here are just a few ideas to help you create a home where your family and guests can relax in a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
Sconces are a wonderful addition to your home. Wall sconces are best used with battery candles to prevent fires. There are some beautiful sconces that can be added to your stairwell or outside of the most used rooms in your home, such as the bathroom, den, home office, or family room. They help to create a sense of intimacy and elegance.
Use floral rings made of non inflammable plastic, vinyl, or fabric around votive candles. This is a beautiful look that can be used anywhere in your home. Consider placing votive candles around the main candle as accents. Create a color pattern that will be a highlight to the room and main candle. Purchase colored glass holders and place white votive candles inside them. These can also make beautiful centerpieces for Easter or Advent.
To create a romantic dinner, try using candelabra. These are a beautiful accent to any event and many times have a spiritual meaning for Passover or Christmas.
Floating candles are great for everyday use, as well as more formal occasions. Add floating candles into a clear bowl for an extra lighting effect. Use distilled water to help eliminate mineral buildup on the side of the crystal or glass. This helps to preserve the unique look of the floating candles.
Candles are a great addition to your home even if you do not like to light candles. So, if you are one that is concerned of fire hazards but love the look and smell of candles, you do not have to live without. Attach a candle to the center of a wreath or add them to your fireplace mantel for an elegant look. Create a sophisticated display with a group of candles of different sizes and heights in front of your fireplace, on your bay window, or on a table. The candles themselves create a stylish look even without the light.
When it comes to creating a home filled with warmth, tenderness, peacefulness and love, candles can go a long way in helping you to achieve this atmosphere. Life can be fast paced and harsh beyond those walls and it is wonderful to have a home where you, your loved ones, and guests can escape to.
