How to Decorate With Candles

The time has come for us to revamp our homes. Many of us love the feeling of redecorating or adding new features to our living space. While the thought of going all out with a paint brush and wallpaper is appealing, you can update your living space in a cost-effective way. You don’t have to paint, and wallpaper, to achieve a great new look within your home.

Decorating, and updating, your home with candles has never been easier. If you are looking for divine inspiration on how to update your home in a fresh, and modern way, why not decorate with candles.

Fireplace Redesign

Candles are perfect for those with open fireplaces. Instead of having ugly fake fireplace logs, why not remove them and replace with large, white pillar candles of various sizes. They will look nothing short of stunning in their new home, and you will have what is akin to a brand new fireplace within your home. Fake logs are fading out as a trend. For 2015, more people are implementing candle displays within their fireplaces in their homes. You can find great home decor candle sets from a wide range of retailers to give your home a modern, and contemporary, edge.

Adding Ambiance

Having an ambient, and relaxing, living space is important. After a hard day in the office, there is nothing more pleasurable than coming home to a relaxing space. Try adorning coffee tables, mantelpieces and bookcases in candles. You can even put them in settings, or cases, to ensure that you get the best from your candle display. Try to stick to one colour theme with your candles for maximum impact. Simply light them once dusk has fallen, for a truly relaxing experience.

Lanterns

There is a wide range of paper lanterns that you can use within the home to place your luxurious candles in. By inserting a candle into a paper lantern, you will get a warm glow from the flame that looks enchanting within your living space. You can add them to the bathroom for a wonderful, relaxing bath or to your bedroom should you want to add a certain ambience to proceedings. Lanterns give off a gentle glow of the candle, as opposed to a bright glare from the flame that will make you feel serene and peaceful.

Ditch the Light Shade

For a luxurious feel, you could ditch your lamp shade, light shade or chandelier and replace it with hanging candles. You can enjoy the glorious glow of candlelight all year round. While the thought of forgoing electric in your living room can be a difficult concept to get your head around, the overall impact this will have on your room will be beautiful. It is a unique, and novel, way to have much needed light resources in your room, but without having to use electric. The humble candle can be used for so much more than decoration. Using candles in their functional sense has a great impact within the home.
