Candles make it easy and affordable to accessorize any room with a soft ambient glow and pleasing fragrance. 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.
Practical Matters.
Candles must perpetually be trimmed to one quarter inch to stave off smoking that discolors candleholders and walls. This will allow the candle to burn efficiently and will eliminate uneven burning that can cause 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 complement your decor theme; for instance, scents of lavender and honeysuckle blended with a faux floral presentation will add realistic aromas to artificial flowers. Scents like fresh linen are wonderful in a bedroom, bathroom or laundry room, and a tempting cherry cobbler scented candle will make it smell like you've been baking all day. However, when serving food, always choose unscented candles for the table; fragrant candles can clash with the aroma of food.
Choices for Decor.
Accessorize with candle displays that underscore your style or theme, and no particular candle accessory is limited to one style. 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 traditional accent that works well with many decor types from Mediterranean to Old World. 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.
Candle wall sconces provide a way to add a luminous glow to any room. Classic wrought iron sconces will bring drama and ambiance to a bedroom, living room, 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.
Create focal points on a mantel, table, wall or other surface by combining candles with other accessories. Wall candle sconces and mirrors make for a great partnership when you allow the mirror to reflect shimmering candlelight. Reflect soft light throughout the room by situating a mirror between candle sconces or across from them. Add depth and texture by combining hurricane lamps and candle sticks that you like within a display of flowers, figurines, frames photos, baskets, wall hangings, vases, or metal accents and pottery. 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. From the bedroom to the kitchen, the bathroom to the sunroom, candlelight will enhance your existing decor and invite comfort and ease.
