Decorating with candles: 11 elegant ideas to inspire you
There is nothing like a candle, even just one, to immediately create a cozy, soft and intimate atmosphere. The soft and flickering lighting of their flames transforms any environment - even an open space - into a setting shrouded in mystery and magic.
If you choose particular candles for their shape and color, and use creative and sophisticated ways to display them, they can become a fascinating decoration in any room of the house. Check out the ideas below:
A set of candles, of any color but preferably of different sizes, can be placed inside a metal cage, to create a decoration with a slightly shabby chic feel.
If, on the other hand, you have candles placed in glasses, put them in a larger glass candle holder and fill the space between the two containers with (faux) pearls: a touch of opulence with little effort!
To enhance the beauty of the candles, place them in front of a mirror: both those on at ground level and those placed on shelves will make an amazing decoration when mirrored.
When using glass bowl candle holders, you can experiment with different decoration materials. For example, as a filler, glass gems of various colors are easily found at shops.
Glass bottles with wax drippings: a slightly gothic touch in the middle of the composition of candles.

Don't be afraid to mix different colors and even different candlestick models: an eclectic composition can be the result!
Glass or plastic beads that fill large cylinders, also made of glass, and the candles placed on top: simple and spectacular.
Nature can help too: have you ever thought of using dried legumes as a base for candles?
Or how about fresh flowers in overturned glass bowls, to be used as candle holders?
A tray or bowl with moss, or maybe even a composition of succulent plants, and candles in the middle. It will be beautiful even when the candles are not burning!
Not just lanterns: even glass boxes (without lids!) can be a sensational showcase for a group of candles, and it's really simple to put together!
