Contemporary Beeswax Candle Designs Make A Great Holiday Gift

By Lisa Mitchell


Those who say that they do not like to decorate will be surprised to learn that a few small changes can make a drastic difference in an indoor space. The great thing about simple pieces is that many are practical meaning they serve another purpose. Rooms that are plain or have a minimal decor can be upgraded to chic when contemporary beeswax candle designs are added.

Although some may not think of candles as the ideal gift, it is something that works in many situations. One common scenario is to participate in a gift exchange at work and not know what the recipient may like. Candles are practical and when made into a number of shapes, can add a nice decorative touch.

One good thing about candles is they are not just practical but inexpensive. Even those that are priced slightly higher tends to burn a lot slower than the cheap versions that may go out in a couple of hours. These can also be placed anywhere like in a wall sconce or a flat surface.

One alternative would be to read by candlelight instead of a device. Large votive candles placed inside a clear holder might be a decent source of light. If natural sunlight is not available, a soft white bulb can provide enough natural light without being harsh.

If a person is not into wall decor, just choosing the right candle designs can add a nice touch to any room or space. Large pillars with one or three wicks look great on any bare coffee table. Other designs worth considering are the ball, cube, or spiral octagon. There are also many novelty shapes that may work for those who are a child at heart.

Although meal time means a different thing to various families, some find a quiet dinner at home with minimal lighting can make a peaceful setting. It is during these moments when families and friends gather to give thanks and say hello to a new year. In some senses, the lit candle may represent something positive.

One of the best decorating hacks is a large area rug. Not only can it cover up old carpeting but the right shade can disguise spills and other mishaps caused by other members of a household. Those living with active kids or friends with four legs find these rugs come in handy.

Candles of any type have a number of uses, like helping to provide heat within a space. Often people complain about the price of utilities during the holidays but forget the simple ways they can cut back. Using natural sources of light instead of electricity when possible is one way to keep holiday expenses down and not pay the price in the coming year.

Before using any of these, it helps to look at the holder weight and compare it to each holding method. Renters who are inexperienced may want to consult with their landlord. If they hesitate, one good argument is that using a candle will cut back on electricity usage.
