Decorating With Scented vs Unscented Candles
Should use your scented or unscented candles in your home decor?
Now I love a good scented candle. There’s something about a delicious smelling candle that really makes a place feel like home. Fresh baked goods scents anyone?
On the other hand, sometimes scented candles are too much and you just want to see the candle glow – not smell anything!
Thankfully the market caters to both preferences by offering a wide range of unscented and scented styles that can be used when decorating with candles.
Decorating With Flameless vs Real Wax Candles
What about times when it is dangerous to use a real flame candle in your home decor? Pets and kids can be challenging to have around candles.
Luckily, there are tons of great flameless candle options available today that will give you a pretty glow without the risk of fire.
Flameless candles have come a long way over the years. Some of them are so realistic looking, you would swear it was was real flame! (In the photo above, the candles are all flameless – would you believe it?)
They come in lots of great styles and colors. If you haven’t shopped around for flameless candles in a while, you’d be surprised as to what is available on the market today.
Candle Decoration Ideas For Seasons & Holidays
Do you like to change out your candles & candlesticks as the seasons progress? Same! I like to swap out my candle decoration at home to create new DIY looks for the holidays.
Autumn makes for an excellent time to decorate with candles because of the warm, cozy vibe fall candles bring to your home.
If you have a decent set of plain white or cream colored candles, you can use different colored ribbons and paper strips to decorate them for holidays or just everyday use. Check out my tutorial on how to decorate a candle with ribbon.
Let’s not forget about decorating for Christmas using candles. I love to get out my special Christmas candles each year and enjoy shopping for a few new ones too. Discover how to use candles for a Christmas centerpiece.
