The Winter Warmth and Light of Candles is not Just for Churches

The weather has that chill in the air. The days are shorter. What we need in our homes right now is more warmth and more light. Candles are one of the best ways to give us what we need.

Candles are great because they offer just the right amount of warmth and light to make a room feel truly special. They’re better than lamps because they're disposable, portable and easy to change out as the seasons change.

Candles can be added to any room. They can light a dining table and give it a feeling of romance. They can surround a tub and make your bathroom feel like a spa. Or they can make an artistic statement sitting on display even when they are unlit.

We love the fact that candles can really alter the way that a room feels and yet they are affordable and simple. If you don’t like the effect they create, you can move them or buy new ones. Try them in all areas of the house!

The dining room is a great place for candles that warm up the whole house for everyone. In contrast, candles in the bathroom are something you can enjoy privately to escape from everyone else in your home. Try turning off the bathroom lights and taking a candlelit bath. What an indulgence!

The fireplace is what really makes a space warm. However, you’re not going to want to make a fire every night of the season. That’s why it’s so great to put some stylish candles on your fireplace mantle. Light them instead on nights when a fire feels like too much work and you'll still be able to cozy up here with some warm light.
