Scented candles are great for any room in the house, but unscented candles are best for dining. Scented candles can conflict with the aroma and enjoyment of your food.

Whether grouped for drama in the living room, paired in candlesticks on the dining table, or snuggled in colored glass votives on the mantel, candles add elegance and style to homes.

Large pillar candles placed in clear glass hurricanes make a bold decorating statement during the day, and enhance a room with subtle warmth and drama when lit.

By placing one or more pillar candles on a pillar plate and surrounding the candle base with flat gray or black stones you will add an Asian influence. This looks best with neutral colored or deeply hued candles and pillar plates made of metal.

Candlelight can transform the patio into one of your home’s most enchanting areas. Bring a shimmer of candlelight to your patio dining with groupings of white or cream candles protected from the wind by hurricanes or votive holders.

Turn you bathroom into a spa. Using candles with heavy or overpowering scents could overwhelm the small space of your bathroom. Decorate with candles that make your bathroom smell fresh and clean. Opt for citrus scents or some of the candles that are made to smell like the ocean, clean linen or freshly cut grass.
