Looking to illuminate your space while contributing to your interior décor style? Candles are the perfect finishing touch to create a homely ambience in your living areas.

1. Candle Holders
Pairing your candles with candle holders instantly brings depth and height to your space. They also provide a stable and secure base for your candles. Offering a combination of both practicality and style, candle holders are available in a range of shapes and sizes. Opt for a thin, tall candle holder for tapered candles to evoke feelings of regal elegance while elevating your candle. By selecting candle holders in specific colour palettes, you can seamlessly establish a cohesive décor style to complement your existing theme. Choose colour palettes of gold for your candle holders to complement a luxurious style of interior decorating or select black and white candle holders for both minimalist and contemporary styles.
For maximalist styles, candle holders with ribbed textures, eye-catching shapes and captivating patterns introduce a sense of artistry, bringing a personal touch to your candle displays. With colourful tones available, decorative candle holders draw attention to your candles, displaying them in a creative manner and providing a stunning decorative feature to your living space.
For a vintage style, look for candle holders complete with glass tops, cloches or lanterns for a stunning showcase of illuminating light. This creates an ambient lighting display that effortlessly elevates various décor styles while the clear colour tone of the glass seamlessly integrates amongst various colour schemes.
Whether you're elevating your taper or pillar candles with a larger holder or drawing attention to the base of your candles with a shorter, artistic feature, candle holders are a great approach to getting creative with displaying your candles while incorporating a personal flair.
2. Table centrepieces
Displaying candles as part of lively centrepieces breathes new life into any room. Elevate your mealtimes by displaying your candles in the centre of your dining table for an elegant table setting. Arrange candles side by side down the middle of your table, accompanied by decorative pieces such as floristry and ornaments. When lined up through the centre of your dining table, candles will illuminate your dining experience with their subtle glow.
Arrange candles on your coffee table to create a cosy and relaxing living space. Candles evoke a homely ambience that can transform any living room into a serene sanctuary that exudes elegance.
Create eye-catching centrepieces on your console table when welcoming guests into your entranceway. Incorporating a decorative display of candles establishes the base of your home styling as soon as guests enter your home, immediately invoking the emotions you are wanting to communicate throughout your decorative scheme.
3. Unique shaped candles
Looking for an eye-catching decorative piece to incorporate into your home styling? Look no further than shaped candles. Perfectly paired by themselves, shaped candles allow their captivating designs and textures to become the forefront of your displays. Boasting abstract shapes such as loops, ribbed patterns or rounded designs, these candles create a captivating showcase of shape and texture to broaden your decorative colour scheme. Looped shapes effortlessly complement maximalist décor styles while neutral-toned ribbed candles bring texture to an otherwise minimalist or contemporary style of interior decorating.
Shaped candles are designed to seamlessly coordinate into various decorative schemes. Able to be displayed by themselves, shaped candles may alternatively be paired with coordinating smaller decorative features such as ornaments. On the other hand, you may display shaped candles against minimalist décor pieces to create a contrast of decorative elements and accents.
Shaped candles incorporate a unique touch to styling your side table, bookshelf or coffee table and are an excellent idea for incorporating an artistic flair into your living space.
4. Candle arrangements
Create clusters of three or more candles to add depth and dimension to your living space. Arrangements organised with various heights and colours create a creative showcase of shape, enhancing your interior décor and transforming any room into a relaxing sanctuary.
These arrangements of multiple candles create layered decorative arrangements to be displayed on any surface in your home. Perfect for your kitchen, living room or bathroom, candle arrangements create an illuminating glow that brightens your space.
5. On trays and side tables
Pairing candles with a stylish base sets the tone for your décor style. Placing candles on reflective surfaces opens up your room, breathing new life into your space while reflecting the candlelight for an elegant display of light. By choosing trays based on the materials, you can change the ambience of the candle.
Pair candles with a wooden tray with natural grain lines to create a rustic ambience. Choose metal trays with silver and golden finishes for an industrial yet luxurious approach to displaying candles.
Alternatively, you may choose to display your favourite décor candles by themselves on your side table to establish a serene ambience.
Style your Candles
Candles are an excellent and low-maintenance approach to incorporating a sense of elegance into your home. Whether displayed by themselves or paired with a candle holder, candles will refresh your home styling and elevate your space.
