We have always used traditional sources of light for illumination - i.e. electric bulbs. Have you ever thought of using the most basic source of light man have invented: CANDLE? Believe me, candles are turning out to be a hot favourite. You can add warmth and romance to your home by placing lit candles around the “intimate places“, say living room. Add to it, dim lights and fresh flowers and you’ve the perfect ambience for that special dinner or evening with a loved one.
Candles no longer just mean the mundane white ones. Innovation is the key to their popularity and nowadays you find a variety of candles in stores - aromatherapy candles, votives, gel candles, floating candles etc. Candles scented with essential oils provide not just for an aromatic treat but also have therapeutic benefits. The word votive comes from the Latin word “votivus” that means vow. They were originally lit and devoted to the memory of a loved one. Votives are meant to be burnt in a holder and you also find them in a wide variety of colours. Gel candles usually come in glass containers while pillar candles are standalone and come in varying thickness.
Elegance with holders
If there are candles, then there have to be candle-holders. You can have a fruit bowl or brass uruli with floating candles on the centre of a table or floor, to give a touch of the exotic to the atmosphere. You can also use floater bowls. Glass, brass, pewter, and silver are some of the other materials used in decorative candleholders. Candles can be placed strategically around the home to add to the decor and as they are available in numerous hues they can add a touch of colour to any space.
