Candles been used throughout history to provide light warmth and ambiance in the home. I love to use candles as an accessories to provide soft lighting, warmth and ambiance in the home. Of course the best candles are one’s that smell incredible, there are some fantastic scented candles available and many small business that you can support with buying locally.

If your concerns about a naked flames with young children or pets around then Led and battery candles are available in many different forms and still have that lovely soft glow without the worry.

In your living room style your candle of choice on a decorative tray, or in decorative candleholders on your coffee table with other small accents, also candles placed on books look very stylish on console tables. Your fire place mantle is a great spot to put candles on display, glass hurricane lanterns look great either side of the mantle or grouping your candleholders at varied heights on a one side of the mantle edge for a more casual contemporary feel.

For the dining room opt for tall candlesticks across a table runner among some greenery for a dinner party look or for more casual dining table go for short cylinder candles.

Candle’s in your bathroom can make it feel and look like a spa and can make you feel even more relaxed when taking a bath, style your candle on bath tray. Or if you have the space a side table next to the bath with a candle and your favourite book.

Art hung, as a gallery wall display is one of my favourite way’s to display art, embrace a mix of artworks and create an interesting composition to add major interest to your walls. The trick to a great gallery wall is a bit of planning, for example you’ll see some common colours and themes in the pieces, which creates a sense of cohesion. Make sure you have enough space to arrange your gallery wall so measure and check first before putting any picture up.

If you prefer to show off one statement piece of art, make sure you think about where you want to show this off in a entrance hall would create a first impression of your home or above a sofa or console to balance the art piece, think centre above the sofa just not to high, hanging eye level is a general rule of thumb.

Picture ledges are a great option if you have lots of artwork but not all the space you want to hang them they provide the perfect styling opportunity for coffee table books, artworks and smaller decor. Best of all, it’s easy to switch out pieces to continually update the look of the shelves.

Another cool and casual way to style art is to lean your art against a wall, especially if your renting property and worried about hanging art work. Just make sure you have it out of reach to getting knocked.
