Welcome to Decorating with Beautiful Candles
If decorating your home is something that you love to do, I'm sure that you have used candles in some form or another to beautify your space. Decorating with beautiful candles can add that perfect touch of elegance, serenity or coziness to an area of a room. Candles can be just the right element to enhance the style or feel that you are trying to create in a space in your home. Decorating with candles is probably one of the easiest ways to add a look of style and flare to a room. In this lens I will show you several different types of candles and ways to enhance them as wellgive some ideas on how to use them as table centerpieces. I hope you find some new tips or ideas that interest you! Enjoy!
Types and Styles of Candles
Decorating with Beautiful Candles
Candles can be found in a wide array of shapes and designs! There are round, square, rectangle and many specialty shapes as well! Hearts, flowers, animals and several others.There are pillar candles, (long and slender) votive candles, (squat and short) tealight candles, jar candles, scented candles, and many patterns and textures to choose from.
Simplicity - Decorating with Beautiful Candles
For a simple but attractive look, group approx. 3 - 5 candles in varying sizes on a glass or wooden plate. Arrange in an attractive manner. Use shades of the same color or complimentary colors.

This is a setting of candles that I have in my home on a table that sits below a large wall mounted mirror! I think it adds style to this area!

Christmas Candles
Decorating with Beautiful Candles
Now that it's fall and we are moving closer to Dec. I thought I'd add a few ideas for Christmas using candles. I love to use fancy plates, or cake plates to hold candle centerpieces, something a little different and more to your own taste. Below I used a shimmery star shaped cake plate that belonged to my grandparents. I believe it is called 'rainbow' glass, lots of pretty colors bounce off it! Just add some coloured glass balls and a ltttle greenery and you have a beautiful candle centerpiece!

Using Glass Candle Holders
Decorating with Beautiful Candles
This is a crystal candle holder that holds a single small pillar candle. It can be used to fill a space on a table or mantle or perhaps on a bookshelf.There are many glass or crystal candle holders on the market! Candle plates, shaped candle holders, or hurricane candle holders. There always seems to be something new coming out!
Tip: A pair of fancy wine glasses filled with dried berries, nuts or glass jewels and a tealight candle nestled in the top makes for an elegant dinnertable centerpiece!

Add a Candle Ring
Decorating with Beautiful Candles
Candle rings come in many different designs. There are every day designs, holiday and christmas designs, several different color options and they can be made of different materials too! I tend to like the beaded ones. They can look very elegant when added to a candle or around a candle holder.
This one is just a fairly plain chocolate brown round tealight holder. I dressed it up by placing a frosted brown beaded candle ring around the base of it!
