How to choose candles
When choosing the color scheme of candles, it must be remembered that they should ideally fit the color of furniture and basic interior items: chandeliers, furniture, etc. In some cases, it is optimal to use the effect of contrasting tones - decorating with candles a room decorated in calm and slightly muted colors.
White candles, familiar to many, are a symbol of protection, spiritual purification and happiness. They fill the room with a fresh, comfortable and clean atmosphere. Someone even believes that such candles in the interior can heal spiritual wounds.
Red floor candles give a charge of positive energy, attract success and prosperity to the home.
Wall products of calm or saturated bright shades can kindle love and awaken tenderness. Blue large or small candles help to pacify and help focus on important things.

Warm yellow shades of candles, like chandeliers, make the atmosphere in the room more comfortable and cheer up.
Purple decorative items and wrought iron candlesticks are clarity of thought and peace of mind, while green light sources bring material prosperity and career growth to their owners.
Candles in the interior of brown wax increase vitality and “protect” the health of pets.
To some, all this may seem like nonsense, which does not deserve attention. Well, what kind of wall candles, forged candelabra and chandeliers? However, psychologists and scientists have repeatedly proved the special effect of various colors on human health.
Basic rules for decorating the interior with candles
- The use of these accessories in any room (living room, kitchen, etc.) provides for moderation and maintaining a single style. The classic decor of the apartment can be supplemented with thin, long candles in a gilded massive candlestick (in this case, large, massive chandeliers will be quite appropriate). If the room is made in the Baroque style, wall candles are suitable, as are chandeliers decorated with flowers, forged candlesticks, figures of people or interesting animals.
- If it is necessary to decorate any holiday with “live” lighting, it is recommended to invite no more than six people to it, otherwise it will not work to create a special secluded atmosphere of the living room. The best option would be decor with low thin products, which will protect guests from accidental burns and allow them to see each other better.
- To get the maximum effect, designers recommend installing floor candles, as well as products in original glasses, slightly drowning them in coffee beans, beans or small grains.In addition, you can perform the whole composition for the apartment - decorating the dish with candles with unusual beads, pebbles or some natural materials, for example, large cones, leaves or acorns.
- Candles on the table must necessarily burn - this is the only way to recreate the effect of a lively and warm flame. But to put them on the living room table in the daytime is not recommended, since the fire will simply not be noticeable. Evening is a different matter. A pair of small candles in the center of the apartment and the same small forged table will fill the house with special charm and comfort.
- Choosing wall or other candles as an interior decoration, you must immediately decide on a candlestick. A correctly selected product will not only support floor candles and will not allow molten wax to leak out, but will also make the decoration stylish and, most importantly, complete.
Important: do not clutter up the interior using large candles, this will make it vulgar and cheap.
Candle holders
Today, for the manufacture of candlesticks, a wide variety of materials and decor are used: glass, brass, bronze, wood, silver, etc. You can make such a product yourself - from the most common dough or clay. A very creative option, for example, for the living room.
A candlestick from an ordinary glass or glass will also look good. For the realization of this idea, the most optimal option would be a transparent stable container. As for the decor, you can use, for example, pasta of various types and colors.
Important: the finished candlestick will look as spectacular as possible if you make the contents of the glass unusual and original.
For one candle, it is worth choosing forged candlesticks of a classic design. Moreover, it will not be difficult to do this - on sale you can find a variety of candlesticks, taking into account the shape, size and color of the candles.
- wall spherical for a heating candle;
- forged and very small (from 8 to 10 cm);
- small diameter and elongated shape;
- floor without a leg (a candle is placed directly in the niche of the candlestick);
- floating, flat for the living room or kitchen;

Original candelabra
It should be borne in mind that the main purpose of any modern candelabra is a stylistic addition and decoration of the interior of the living room or other rooms, and not holding functions. The size of this product directly depends on the number of candles used (as a rule, it is from 2 to 6 pcs.).
