Decorator Ideas For Setting The Mood With Candles

Accessorize any room with a soft glow and attractive aroma 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.

Matters of Practicality.

Candles must perpetually be trimmed to one quarter inch to stave off smoking that discolors walls and candleholders. This functions to permit the candle to burn efficiently and will eliminate the possibility of 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. Select fragrant candles that complement your decor theme; for example, scents of lavender and honeysuckle combined with a fake flower display will add realistic smells 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.

Decorative Options.

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 instance, attractive cylinders or hurricanes holding larger pillar candles could accent a very up-to-the-minute theme as bold accessories placed on top of bedroom dressers or a dining room buffet table. On the other hand, a hurricane lamp is a classical accent that works well with many decor types from Old World to Mediterranean. 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.

Combine candles with other accessories to create focal points on a wall, a mantel, a table, or any flat surface. Another great idea is to reverbrate shimmering candlelight with candle sconces and mirrors. Reflect glowing light throughout the area by placing a mirror between candle sconces or across from them. Combine candle sticks, hurricane or any holders that appeal to you on a mantle with a floral display, figurines, framed photographs, baskets, wall clocks, vases, pottery or metal accents for depth and texture. 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 chosen ambience is limited only by your imagination when adding candles 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.
