Candles And Holders Create A Great Addition To A Room

Candles create wonderful accessories in any room. Today they come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Here at interior-decorating-ideas-for-you, I share in many pages the general rule of thumb of placing items on shelves or other areas in odd numbers. This is true of this accessory also. I wanted to share with you a little different thoughts on bringing your candles into rooms that blend in with your colors and theme.







The photo on the right is one I consider to be an old time look. The black and antique brass creates a look of the past. It can also be used in a formal room. Black will go with most any other color, and choosing the right color candle is just as important. The tones of the floor blend well with this accessory piece.

Ah, the beach house or Caribbean style and decorating. As you know, this is one of my favorite themes to use in decorating. Bright colors, festive atmosphere, and an overall warm feeling to any room. These two are great accents on a small table, a bed stand, garden tub, enclosed porch, or bathrooms. I love the different tones in the holders as you can accent many different colors in your foundation paint, other accents and accessories. Change out the tea candles periodically with different colors. Think about adding a few sea shells or drift wood around them. A set of five in total would look charming.

This decorative dish is very special to me. I love using it as a focal point in a room. The holder is from my parents 40th wedding anniversary party. If you haven't read a few pages on my mom, she passed about in 2000. The treasures she left my three sisters and myself are displayed in all our living spaces. Any color will work with this dish and I like the idea of putting a three tone scent and color candle accessory on the dish. An attractive dish like this works great.

I love using the tall holders in different rooms. To me they look wonderful in a corner next to furniture, or by another accent. I actually have about five different tall holders throughout the house. Our younger daughter loves using this type of holder in her room with the stars and moon theme.

This picture is a close up of an old holder I had around the house. I put it away as I could see the rust developing on it. When sorting through some old things, I came across this and was ready to give it away. I do like using the rust look of holders and candles with an old and nostalgic decor.

I decided to give the holder a new look. Bought a can of black spray paint for under two dollars. Spray painting it took me less then five minutes. Bought five new candles for under $10.00 at a discount shop, and here it is, a simple and new look.

The new look is crisp and clean and gives the holder an eloquent flair. I put five glass base candles to each round holder. Notice the color scheme I used. The big one is in the center and the only two tone one. Tan and white bring out the neutral tones of the room. The smaller ones are light and darker orange, which blend in with the paint, furniture, and other accessories. I also like a little variation in positioning the candles on the holders. I reversed each side color wise to give it a little different look. The entire holder is still balanced.

The final photo is of a seven holder. I also decided to spray paint it for a new look. This has a classy look and you could actually put a variety of style candles on it. All white or other complimentary colors would add a lot to this accessory. Great for a center piece on a table, or a main accent table. This is just a few simple ideas for you. This accessory create such a great atmosphere in a room and to me, I have them all over the house. Many different sizes, shapes, and colors gives your living space a unique look that represents you.
