Candle holders

Candles and tea lights are important parts of the Valentine’s Day decoration. The simplest way, if proper candles are placed in the candle holders bought in a shop and put in the place which should be conjured cozy. However, there are many further solutions which fit well in the classic interior, still unique and clever constructions. Let’s see some of them – not only for Valentine’s Day.
Let’s combine tee lights and fruits! Apple: cut a hole at the stem in which a tea light just fit. Bigger and heavier ones can hold long decoration candles also. Orange: cut the fruit in half, pick out its meat and put the tea light in the place of it. The flame won’t be visible, this way it gives a more mysterious light. When it warms up, it relieves essential oils and provides a pleasant fragrance in addition to the intimate atmosphere.
Let’s transform glass bowls and glasses into temporary candle holders. Fill them with sea-salt, peppercorns, coffee beans, rice or similar smaller things. If the pot is deeper, a thin candle can be put in it securely, but tea lights will look good in it also. Deeper bowls can be filled with water and floating candles and flower heads can be placed in it. Turning a goblet upside down there will be a stilted place just enough for a tea light.
Unused pieces of the dinner set: there are always some leftover pieces after setting the romantic dining table. The saucer, cake shovel, soft-boiled egg holder, ladle and metal napkin ring used as tea candle holders fade into the table set, this way the light of the candle will dominate.
Main colors of Valentine’s Day are all shades of red and pink, just as white, gold and silver. Ask for help of an interior designer for creating a cozy decoration.

Valentine’s Day

14th of February is Valentine day and celebrated worldwide. This is the day of love. Its origin is not clear.

Celebrate this day with a complete home decoration, not only a romantic dinner. Hang a heart shaped decoration on the front door made of red roses or pink paper flowers. Place colourful candles, garlands made of hearts and small puttos on the mantle. In the bedroom, we can change the blankets and the cushions to red, the lampshades can be decorated by boas, cushions can be scattered with flower petals and a heart can be formed by candles on the floor. In the bathroom, place candles to the bathtub and shelves. Hang out red or red edged towels. Pour rose scented bubble bath into the bath water. Dinner table should be decorated by candles and red plates, which can be part of the everyday, other coloured dinner set. Red glasses and damask nepkins are also decorative. A bucket of rose looks good everywhere. If you feel red color too dominant, combine it with lot of white, thus only the important motifs will strike your eyes. For a less formal, youthful mood let’s apply the hues of pink instead of red.
