Fireplace Candelabra: Using Candles for Dramatic Effects

Sometimes you want something especially dramatic for your fireplace candelabra. Here are three candle ideas to boost your fireplace candelabra’s drama-quotient.

Gold candles or silver candles, with or without glitter, can give a stunning performance in your fireplace candelabra. The exterior of the candles actually help magnify the glow of the candlelight.

Are you planning an evening event where the lights in the room will be dimmed? If so, you’ll have the perfect setting for one of the most dazzling illusions a fireplace candelabra can create. With a black fireplace candelabra, use black candles. Yes, believe it or not, black candles! In the low light, the flickering flames of the black candles will seem to be dancing in midair.

When you have fresh flowers in your home, heighten their aromatic effect by burning candles in your fireplace candelabra that have the same scent as the flowers. For example, use rose-scented candles when you have a bouquet of roses, and spread their special perfume throughout your home.
