Designer candles look great around your home but can be expensive - a great way to achieve the same look on a budget is by using tea light holders to create a romantic candlelight display.
These candle holders can be either separate containers designed to hold one tea light each, or a larger arrangement that holds several candles.
A combination of both of these can be used to dramatic effect.
Tea light candles are very inexpensive and as the holders are not burned and are reusable, you can create the look of a beautiful candle without the expense.
They work great as part of a table setting for a dinner party or for decorating any part of your home.
You can place candles in an individual holder and dot them around the room or group several together for a stronger lighting effect.
Glass holders can be particularly attractive as the glass reflects the light of the flame, creating a beautiful flickering.
Plain glass tea light holders with white candles look classic and go with any room decoration, or you can create an interesting effect with a mix of colored glass.
Even if the candles are not lit, this kind of arrangement will look great in your home, particularly as a festive display at Christmas time.
For a dramatic table centerpiece or focal point, try a tea light holder fashioned in metal to hold several tea lights.
These create the look of an old-fashioned candelabrum without the mess of dripping wax to clean up afterward and the flame from a tea light is steadier than from a candlestick.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors in your garden in the evening, why not create a romantic lighting effect using candles? You can buy a candle holder that is specifically designed for outdoor use and it is even possible to buy citronella candles, which both smell great and repel mosquitoes and other insects as they burn.
Some candle holders can get hot so be sure to place them on a surface that will not be damaged by excess heat.
Grouping a set of candles together on a large plate or metal serving dish can look great and also protects your wooden furniture from possible damage.
Never leave burning candles unattended and be sure to extinguish all the candles before you go to bed or leave the house.
