One of the discriminatory mistakes that we make with scented candles is that we see them as having a certain, acceptable place in the home. Hurricanes go on the mantle, candlesticks go on the formal dining room table, tea lights go around the bathtub, and so on. Many seem to fear popping color into a room through the use of candles, holders, and accessories, and this doesn’t have to be so. Because candles are to be enjoyed, and tend to need changing out so often, you can afford to experiment with colors, groupings, and displays without too much stress or worry.
Any time that you can create drama, depth, or color to a corner or a table, an awkward space or an overlooked niche, you have added an element of warmth and finish to that room overall. Candles and the many ways of accessorizing and securing them can add all of these elements that you are looking for without breaking your budget.
