Another popular application for candles in your home is in the bathroom. Candles in your bathroom can be quite lovely as well as functional. Nothing beats a relaxing soak in the bathtub surrounded by the warm glow of candles. Candles can help set the mood to relax to help you unwind from a long day. If you like scented candles, choose wisely. Bathroom candles should be scents that are relaxing such as lavender or lily of the valley. We would suggest you avoid food scented candles, such as cookie scents, for the bathroom.
Cozy Bedroom Candles
Candles are the perfect addition to your bedroom. They are designed not only for relaxation but also add a romantic element. The bedroom is one of the rooms in your home that we think gives off a feeling of cozy relaxation. Placing candles on your night table or captains chest can help to also set the mood for a romantic evening with your significant other.
Fireplace Candles
We love the soft warm glow of a fireplace! However if you do not have a fireplace, you can create a faux fireplace in your home with candles. Of course, in the summer months, a fire would not be functional; however, if you are looking for ambiance, a faux fire with candles might be just the right touch.
If you have a fireplace, but do not use it, this is a quick and easy project. You can make use of the space with candles. If you don't have a fireplace, you'll have to get creative with something like a wooden frame to serve as your faux fireplace.
First, determine how many candles you will need based on the size of the space. In our opinion, the more the merrier!
Use white or cream colored candles of varying sizes, heights, and shades to add depth.
You can use candles that are not in containers, as long as you have a base to catch any wax that may drip, or you can choose candles that are in in containers. Try mixing it up with different types of candle holders.
Once your arrangement is set, its time to light your candles and enjoy.
