How to illuminate and decorate your home with Christmas candles
The winter holidays are the perfect excuse to light a few extra candles. Dinner table. Mantel. Entryway. Living room. Or wherever you could use a little illumination.
Here are our favorite places to add Christmas candles:
- At the dinner table: Line a few unscented holiday candles across the dinner table and let the candlelight set the mood. With our holiday table decor, you’ll have a table ready for Christmas dinner and, more importantly, dessert.
- On the mantel: A row of candles brings such a peaceful glow, especially when you mix and match different heights and shapes.
- By the front door: Welcome your guests (and yourself) with scented Christmas candles by the front door. Just be sure to keep them in-sight when lit.
- In the living room: A softly scented candle adds the holiday atmosphere in areas of the home we tend to gather and relax.
Unscented vs. scented Christmas candles: how to choose?
Food and candle fragrance don’t need to compete, so let’s talk about where scented and unscented candles work best.
- Unscented candles: Dinner table. Brunch table. Anywhere food is happening. Keep the lovely candlelight, but skip the competing scents.
- Scented candles: Entryway. Living Room. Your reading nook. All places to bring in the scents of the season.
- Both: We’re not here to write the candle rulebook. Use scented Christmas candles where you want fragrance and unscented ones where you don’t. Easy!
What candle holders are best for the holidays and Christmas?
Holiday candles. Christmas candle holders. And a little winter greenery. That’s a whole holiday decorating plan right there.
- Lanterns: Add a warm glow while keeping the flames away from objects and out of reach of small children.
- Candlesticks: Light the room with some height on the table or mantel. Line up a few Christmas candle sticks. Mix the heights. Let imperfection be the perfection.
- Candle dishes: Catch the drips and drops of candle wax with a dish designed to also protect your furniture.
