I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t appreciate candle light.  The soft glow of flickering flames instantly adds atmosphere, mystery and romance to any room or outdoor space. And to be sensible and not fanciful for a moment, it stops us using the planet’s resources too.  But enough of practicalities … candle light adds a magic touch, whether it’s for entertaining, a dinner a deux or as an everyday relaxing treat to the senses.

It’s important though to choose containers, holders and lanterns well – they can make all the difference to the ambiance. Choose from sleek and modern, rustic and charming or a whole host of other styles. Group them together on the mantel or hang lanterns from sturdy hooks. Place them in clustered vignettes or make a feature of a single, stylish piece. And of course, they are absolutely essential during the holidays and wintertime. But you’ll find that these items add a style and flair to your rooms at anytime of year.

As a bonus, candle light flatters our looks and can hide the fact that the maid is on vacation! Whatever your reason for choosing the soft glow of the flickering flames,check out the stylish selection.
