Candles have a rich and vibrant history. Candles were the sole decoration on the first Christmas tree. Candles served as the only light in every home for hundreds of years. Candles have only become decorative pieces since the introduction of electricity. Candles come in a variety of sizes (widths, lengths), shapes (common circles, stars and squares), scents (lavender, clean linen, wisteria, cinnamon apple), patterns, designs, materials (not all are made of wax), colors, containers (jars, bowls for votives, decorative cans shaped like pails), and widths.
Candles make nice accents but it requires more careful thought than you think. Some candles are fit for a certain space or backdrop, and specific candles suit only some particular decorative pieces. A popular classic look for candle pieces are the tall, wrought iron candelabras with short candles, usually in bright hues of green and red, or a simple shade of off-white. The candles' color will also depend on the color of the background. If you can't make up your mind with the best shade to use, white candles go with any furnishing and theme.
Decorating is not only for the eyes but for the sense of smell as well. Make use of scented candles and fill your place with aromas so rich and pleasing to the senses. Transform your home into a flower shop, the countryside or a fruit stand in an instant.
Big spaces are the ideal place to put big candles in bigger candleholders as well. In parallel, small candles are fit for small spaces. Candleholders may also differ depending on your style preference. If you want to go beyond the usual candle holders, you can use any deep set bowls, put some water halfway into it, accessorize with pebbles or custom made colored stones, then place candle votives inside. This is a really pretty centerpiece for your coffee table or your dining table for a romantic dinner.
There are hundreds of choices in the market. You can easily purchase candles in department stores, online shops,accessories boutiques and home dcor specialty stores. Yankee Candle and Glade are familiar names. These brands boast of quality and great selections.
