Candle Magic - Tips for Decorating with Candles
By William Wilson

Candles have been used in home settings for centuries. Originally used for illumination, they were very utilitarian in function, with no thought of appearance or scent. But with electricity becoming commonplace, the candles role began to change.

Candles became more decorative and were recognized for their ability to achieve a certain ambiance, or mood, in any room. Candles went from being exclusively for tabletop settings to more designer-oriented sconces and multi-candle wall displays. But for the traditionalist, a formal dinner table is still not complete without at least a couple of tall tapered candles.

Scented Candles
Scented candles are just wonderful for decorating your home. Most are offered in attractive styles and decorative shapes, making them easy and fun to use around the house. Scented candles, especially the ones made rich with scented oils, emit their aromatic fragrance whether lit or not.

Placing scented pillar candles or jar candles in hallways, bathrooms and even kitchens can help freshen the air and eliminate unwanted odors. These types of candles are offered in a myriad of fragrances, sizes and shapes to meet every candle lovers needs.

Dinner Candles
Long tapered candles on a dining room table are classic. However, the newest candle displays have taken a different twist. A table decorated with a collection of small votives in matching holders can be quite a stunning addition to the dinner table. Try the same idea with an assorted mix of candle containers for a more eclectic look.

Having a dinner party?
Candleholders that also function as place card holders are available and allow you to dazzle your guests with your creativity. And whether your preference is traditional tapered candles or a grouping of votives, either will cast a special glow over the dinner table at your next party or festive event.

Other Decorative Candles
There is a multitude of specialty candles and candleholders on the market. Some are very creative with designs in the shapes of your favorite animals, others with more modern or abstract designs. Whatever your taste in candles, you can almost be assured that a candle is designed with your decorating tastes in mind.

Candle Do's and Don'ts
Uses for modern day candles are only restricted by one's own imagination. But decorating with candles can have its pitfalls, too. To help you avoid these decorating "faux pas", the following tips will get you started on the road to becoming a candle aficionado.
1. If you like grouping your candles, remember to match the scents of all the candles to avoid creating a combined scent that is either too strong or unpleasant.
2. Consider mixing like-scented candles with unscented candles in your grouping to help control the overall strength of the scent.
3. Never use scented candles on a dinner table. The scent of the candles will compete with and interfere with the sumptuous aroma of the meal. Researchers have found that the aromatic smell of food actually is one of the most important elements of the dining experience.
4. Candles on a dining room table should always be smokeless. Be sure to trim the candle wick if it exceeds ¼ " to reduce the potential of unwanted smoke.
5. Burning a scented candle in your bathroom, or "powder" room, will eliminate unpleasant odors. This is a nice touch for your next party or gathering of special friends.
6. Always burn your candles in a secure, fireproof holder made especially for candles. Also, ensure that there are no paper products or hand towels in close proximity to the candle's flame. Using a tall candleholder with a shorter candle is just plain smart and keeps the flame away from flammable items.
7. If the candle holder is an open vessel, like a candle stick, always opt for dripless candles. Who wants a puddle of wax on your nice table linens?
8. When placing lower-flamed candles around a table, make sure it is done in such a pattern that a person's shirt sleeve or clothing cannot pass through or over the flame.
9. Don't place your candles too close to flower arrangements. Candles have been known to wilt or ruin flowers if the flame overheats their petals.

Remember - always practice safe candle burning! The most important aspect of using and enjoying your candles is to never leave them burning unattended, or where a child could be drawn to the candle and potentially be burned.

Keep it safe and enjoy the magical benefits of decorating your home with candles!

Home Decorating For Autumn
By Matthew Sorrow

The crisp air and changing foliage signal the arrival of autumn, and with some easy and inexpensive ideas, you can use the colours and textures of the season to create a comforting and cosy atmosphere in your home. When choosing colours, let the outdoors be your guide by using deeper tones of red, orange, yellow, gold and green. When approaching autumn decor, heavier fabrics provide rich warmth, while accents that embody nature offer seasonal charm. The simple addition of a few coordinating pillows and a soft throw blanket draped across the back of a chair can provide a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

A dried or silk garland of vivid foliage adds a natural touch when hung across a mantle piece or when framing a doorway. Groups of candles can provide a simple and evocative elegance by day, while their flickering candlelight can offer a soothing and gentle glow by night. String up some cinnamon sticks and dried cranberries to create a garland for your kitchen, and use bowls of potpourri or a simmering pot of savoury scents to fill your home with the aromas of autumn.

Stalks of dried wheat, small pumpkins and dried maize work well grouped together or as solitary decorations. Use silky ribbon to tie a spray of deep red berries around a thick white pillar candle. Pile some small, colourful gourds and few autumn leaves in a wooden fruit bowl, and then add some contrast and height with a few bundles of twigs tied with raffia. With a little creativity and some inexpensive accents, you can add welcoming, seasonal touches to your home decor.

Wholesale Suppliers of Gifts, Collectibles, Home Decor and Garden Accents and Accessories

It can be a challenge finding the right supplier of wholesale gifts and decor.
Many people consider contacting Chinese manufactures for low cost products and according to some reports, they begin having problems as soon as the purchase is final.They end up disgusted and sorry for making the decision to purchase from these dealers.If you search for the term china fraud, you will find many reports of scams and none of us want to deal with this kind of problem.

Why not research online wholesale stores offering quality merchandise right here
in the USA?

an important concern for the reseller. The reseller will probably need to ship products to customers and deliveries should arrive timely and in perfect condition.

Finding the Right Candleholders For Your Decor

2008-09-27T07:25:00.000-07:00

Most of us enjoy using candles in our homes to add a touch of beauty and slight aroma of refreshing fragrance in the air. We choose candles that smell appealing like fresh baked apple pie or blooming flowers in the Spring.

We are also choosy about the way we present our candles so the right candleholder is important too. Whether it holds a tealight candle or a small votive, it has to coordinate with the rest of the home's decor.

A favorite for social occasions as a centerpiece is the tabletop candleholders adorned with crystal beads. The beads reflect light and give a glimmer of sparkle to the social atmosphere.

No matter which style you desire, there are many to be found while shopping online. Shop for great wholesale merchandise and see the vast inventory of candles, candleholders and wall displays available at My Southern Home Place.
