Creative Decorating Tips Using Candles For Home Decor

Home Decor For the Cottage or Cabin
As the cooler weather blows in and the sun dips earlier in the day, why not decorate your cottage, cabin or home with candles adding warmth and ambiance to the space.  Fall is the perfect time to collect colorful leaves outside and harness their warmth when decorating with candles.  For example, you could use our mirrored winery tray to display leaves or flowers in red, yellow and orange with short amber or chocolate colored candles.  To maintain your vintage style, tie velvet, satin or other rich material around the candle and secure with a favorite brooch.  The mirrored tray will capture and reflect the light, creating an inviting centerpiece on the dining room table.

Using special items around the house for unique and unexpected uses is a great way to show off your creativity!  Look for an urn, a finial or a pedestal bowl  to place on a table in your entrance or foyer to welcome guests with the smell of cinnamon.  If using a clear container, fill with acorns or cranberries first, then using wooden florist wire as sticks, attach fruits of the season and fill in with flowers.  Surround your tall container with pedestal candle holders with cinnamon scented candles.  Greeting guests with fragrances of the season adds a nice touch to any home decor.

If you just can't let go of summer yet, fill your garden bistro table with fall leaves and pine cones and place votive candles in between.  To keep everyone cozy, bring out your blankets or throws, like this Kantha Throw.

Rustic Cabin Decor Brings Fall Inside your Home

Finally, fall is in the air! All around our little town the leaves are beginning to turn color, the air is crisp and cooler, and our thoughts turn to mugs of hot apple cider, visits to the pumpkin patch, and fuzzy warm slippers.

What better way to celebrate the change of seasons than to bring the feeling of fall indoors? Your home decor is not only a mirror of your personal style, but can reflect the changing seasons with a few simple updates .

One of our favorite ways to bring in a touch of fall is to use rustic cabin decor items throughout the home. Think rough-sawn wood, raw edges on fabric accessories, burnished metal accents, and thick fisherman-knit afghans.

Accent your usual decor with a few unique antiques that speak to you. Hunting for new treasures is half the fun of decorating! We love the look of old pottery in wonderful fall colors, mixed in with your usua l tableware as either serving pieces or in a warm, fall tablescape. Antique bottles make interesting vases for sunflowers, tree branches with fall leaves, or dried grasses. Or try putting an old pair of boots in the corner by the door, as if waiting for a romp in the dry leaves.

Changing up your decorative pillows is another easy way to bring that fall feeling into your family room. Look for fabrics with texture and warmth, in rich colors like browns, reds, and deep mustard tones. It’s amazing what such small changes can do for your decor.
