Candlesticks can be an easy way to add character and uniqueness to a space. They’re fun to play with and can be arranged in a number of ways. They also come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and heights, which makes them incredibly versatile. Here are some tips for decorating with candlesticks, featuring some fun finds available in the shop now!
Play With Height
Using different heights can add layers and interest to a space. Play with different sized candleholders, as well as different sized candles, to achieve a fun and interesting look. Below are some examples from inside the shop!
Create Balance & Cohesiveness With Pairs
Candlestick pairs can be used to add balance to a space and create a cohesive look. Place them at alternate ends of a space or interweave them into your design for a more playful look that remains cohesive. Just remember, you still want the pair to reflect the same vibe of the room you're placing them in.
Add A Pop of Interest
If you're looking to pique visual interest, consider introducing a vibrant pop of color or sparkle. Adding a more extravagant and eye-catching candlestick, can be an easy solution to an otherwise boring or empty space. Below are some fun eye-catching examples from inside The Florence Marketplace.
Introduce Candelabras
Candelabras are a great way to add flair to your space, with minimal effort. Since they're already constructed in a fun and dynamic way, they're an easy addition to your space. They're also perfect for last-minute centerpieces, because they're easy, yet captivating.
Highlight Other Elements
Candlesticks can be a great way to show off your favorite trinket or collectible. Instead of placing a candle inside the candlestick, use the candlestick as a riser to show off something else you love! This is also a fun trick that can also be used for centerpieces.
Below is a fun example from one of our vendors. She chose to use her candelabra to highlight her Christmas tree collection. This is a fun and whimsical idea that could be a great Christmas centerpiece. You could even alternate between trees and candles, and still get the lovely effect of the candlelight.
