Decorative Candle Holders
Description- Unveil your creativity and make a statement
with some unique designer candle holders. These inexpensive and simple
decorations go a long way in livening up your house.
You always wanted to make a signature style for your
home décor but are you unable to decide where to start from? My suggestion is
start with small items like the candle holders. A striking candle holder will
always stand out, be it a small set up or a huge house. So here are ideas for
making decorative candle holder.
Glass Jar with Unique Patterns
Take a plain glass tumbler or small sized jar. Wrap a
tape around it in a pattern that you like. Then spray a color of your choice,
preferably a bright and glitzy one like gold, silver. Now remove the tape. It
will automatically form a beautiful pattern. You can put a tea light inside it
and use to brighten up your bedside table.
Glass Candle holder with Lace
Take a lace pattern of your choice, preferably of
white and place it inside the candle holder. Now lightly insert a tea light.
This can make for a very romantic setting or a unique statement for a dinner
that you might be hosting. Gives a cozy and comforting feel.
Sugar Sprinklers
I am sure you haven’t thought of it but when you see
it you are forced to think why not. Take a small glass tumbler or a votive and
half fill it with colorful sugar sprinklers. Now lightly place a tea light
above it. This candle holder will immediately fill the room with a vibrant
shade.

Creative Front Door Décor
Make
your front door décor unique using some out the box ideas fashioned with
unconventional style and some ordinary decorative.
How many times have you felt that your front
door requires a little more than the same old wreath every year? Festive,
symbolic and beautiful no doubt but the front door décor can get a little more
creative than that. Your front door is almost a statement about your aesthetic
sense and creativity.
It is surprising how even small innovation can
add a brand new spark. Here are some simple yet creative options to make heads
turn.
Use
A Creative Vase
Well, as they say, it nothing conveys it as
beautifully as flowers, and you don’t want to remove them from your front door.
My suggestion is just change the vase. Use some out of the ordinary yet
striking like an old umbrella, a watering can or may be even a rubber boot. You
will be surprised by the impact they create.
Empty
Picture Frame
It is amazing how an empty picture frame can
work wonder. Make a creative front door décor using an old frame which is
embellished with craft paper or artificial flowers, fabric flowers or even
clothes pin.
Wooden
Cut Outs
Sometimes even a dose of quirky titbits can
add light to your front door décor. You could use wooden cut outs of crabs,
dogs, flower pot and embellish them with bright paints, paper and vibrant
patterns.
Chalkboard
Signs
I am sure you have never imagined this one.
Chalkboard paint on the interior of a tray or a plank of wood and embellished
with a welcoming message can also be a unique option to get attention.
Front door décor is all about unleashing your
creativity and using some day to day rejects to make a striking statement.

How Mirrors Can Accentuate Home Décor
A mirror not just helps you
admire yourself but enables others to admire your sense of style. The trick is
how and where you place them and what you team it up with.
The mirror today is not
just a necessary accessory of your dresser. Apart from helping you admire
yourself, it can add a unique dimension to your home and can give a sense of
space and opulence to even highly constricted areas. The possibilities are
innumerable. All you need is an eye for details and clear understanding of the
texture and material you are working with.
Creating
Additional Space
So when we talk of how
mirrors can accentuate home décor, the first and foremost would be adding
dimension and area to the available space. It creates a visual impression of
additional space and a ceiling to floor can almost double up the available
space.
Central
Point or Focal Point
Most times we invest in
expensive artwork to create a focal point of the room, especially the living
room. It is indeed surprising how mirrors can accentuate home décor in pretty
similar ways. All you need to do is team up the mirror with an interesting and
eye-catching frame and place it in a position that has maximum advantage in
terms of attention.
Bedroom
Decor
In case you are
wondering how mirrors can accentuate home décor when it comes to bedroom, I
think it is one of the easiest means to reflect your personality and bring in
oodles of positive energy within the bedroom.
While the debate
continues on how mirrors can accentuate home décor, I firmly believe that the
mirror is versatile that can liven up any space and add an element of drama in
your home décor.
