Sparkle your premises with Candles

Hello friends!!!!

Like I promised I’m back with some new and innovative ideas. J

So, today we’re gonna talk about one of my favorite interior design trick: decorating our space with candles. Candles provide a glow that relaxes our mind, soothes the soul and even makes your complexion look great! In fact, I keep candles on my desk and I just lit it for inspiration!

Ain’t crazy about seasonal decor and I basically prefer that most decor around my home be items that can be used throughout the year if I want to. So mostly I want simple, timeless, decor that I can then tie into a few small seasonal items that rotate throughout the year. This is why I love to use candles for decor and ambiance because they are simple, lovely and enjoyable (especially the scented ones). 

Do you believe in fairy tales?  A fairy entered into your house and it suddenly start enlightening with candles / lights…Well… for that you have to make sure to read the entire page and implement them all on suitable places / corners ... I’m sure you'll be delighted with the end results!

Candles can be a great alternative to the main light. In case your main light keeps blinking ;) let us find you an electrician to help. They might be perfect for when you want to create a cozy atmosphere, but they’re not great enough as a permanent replacement!

Candles offer a glow that’s cozy and generous and are one of the oldest and most reliable ways to light up your home. For maximum glow, place the candles next to mirrors, in a container next to a mirror resting against a wall.

You can add few indoor plants along with the Candles to your table. Adding plants with the candle lights can create the magical duet!!!

I got this lustrous candle holder from my Jaipur trip. Isn’t it beautiful? 

Well, the scents are amazing. They transport you immediately to that fall state of mind. Fragrance oils and candles are the best ideas to give you relax after a hectic tiring long day… Try it and for sure you will fall in love with these candles and oils… Their smell can deeply affect your moods and bring back warm memories. 

You can add some plants with scented candles and ad some random decoration pieces (like I added the DIY Stones- don’t worry will cover it in my upcoming article J) and see their glamour in total!!….HOPE …PEACE..LOVE…We indeed need these three magical words to live a happy life.

Now, quite a few more ideas are about choosing candles holders…choose candle holders made of metals as it will add more light. A single candelabrum in the middle of the room on a table, , will be iridescent and offer far more light than smaller candles on a flat plate. Another benefit to candelabrum's and other taller candle holders is that the candle shines at height, providing more vertical lighting than those placed at lower levels.

This adorable and unique candle is gifted by one of my dearest friend….I hanged it by lightening a candle inside … and it turned into a beautiful corner of my house….

I recently added a star shaped candle holder on my center table and I fell in love with the classic look. Candle holder go perfect with theme of my decor which is traditional.

Needless to mention, the most important thing to manage is security with the candles. Never ever leave a candle unattended or use with flammable materials. It’s foolish to place a candle closure to the curtains. (Invited risks)

It's no secret that I love candles!!!

I think they are the easiest way to freshen up any room and add that bit of ambiance.

No matter the time of year, or the time of day, I always have a candle burning.

Stay connected for next post!!!!!! Will be back very soon with some DIY’s..:)

Spruce Up Your Balcony

Hello Friends!!

I missed you a lot!!

Sorry for being out for a while... I had a turmoil all this year. Was bit occupied with my job and family amenabilities… I tried everything to spend quite a few time for my blog but I failed in my each attempt.

In past few days, I was all alone…. Figuring out a way to give a new start for my blog with countless thoughts in my mind. Eventually, collected some thoughts, deleted some of them, implemented quite a few and here I’m. With a happy ending… (If end is well, everything goes well.) J

If you’re living your hobby there is no better feeling in comparison with it. You don’t need anyone’s company as you become your own friend when you start writing your ideas and of course you will get more ideas when you receive the reader’s feedback / appreciation. Believe it. And I’m so blessed with my friends who are always there for me to motivate and nourish my thoughts.

Anyways... It’s an endless talk. I want to share the new experience that inebriated me. It’s 'The Balcony Decoration'.

Summer has almost burnt each of us … its way too hot outside but I still dream of outdoor spaces… To those who live in big cities, an outdoor space is something that they can only imagine about and balcony is the only and easy source by which they can enjoy some fresh air without leaving their apartment. It’s a witness of many sunrises, sunsets & rains, a place where you connect with your loved ones or friends by sipping a cup of coffee… or connect with yourself with a mugful of Tea. So let’s find out ways to inject some life to your balcony and take it to the next level…

So before I give tips on how to make that balcony cozy, let’s have a quick look at the beautiful snap of my balcony which keeps me inspiring.

In fact Balcony is the only place which is partially indoor and outdoor. Easily can be noticed from any corner of the society and in between the sky touching towers. Let me pen down the possibilities which is again as per the availability of the resources / time / area and individual taste.

Irrespective of the space, you certainly can adore it. Not just that, after you see the awesome decorating ideas presented here that are full of creativity made especially for tiny spaces, you’ll love the fragrance coming from the balcony even more!

There are endless things (Like - Wind Chime, fairy tale lighting, hanging pots, Swings, Wall decoration pieces, pond in a pot, garden accessories etc.) which can play a unique role in adorning the every corner of balcony areas.

The first importance in any balcony should be the sitting arrangements. However, in a tiny balcony we definitely need the smartest furniture designs that don’t take but a minimum of space and look very appealing.

There is a second thought of adding folded chairs and hang them on a wall to save some space, and whenever you need them, you get them in a moment. It is wiser to choose bright colors in furniture to decorate against the plain walls.

Here is the Night View and I love it!! It feels relaxed when the winds touch your face and takes away the tiredness after a hectic day.

The swings hanging in the garden can take you into your childhood anytime. Just close your eyes and there comes a flashback of memories directly from your childhood. Compliment the swing with plants and accessories to accentuate its presence. Reading books, sipping coffee, long conversation on phones are additional advantages here.

After furniture, comes the most interesting part; plants of course, what else it could be? You won’t feel alive & refreshing without adding plants in your balcony. Feel free to add them everywhere; they will never look sufficient.

  

On the contrary, they will bring to your small balcony a cheerful ambiance, in addition to giving it the spirit of an outdoor garden. Go for plant pots in different sizes & springy colors, and hang them vertically on the walls, or on the balcony’s edge, and place some on the floor if space allows.

DIY : Guess what?? These are the Litters that Milk Man generally use … I purchased them from local market, added the attractive colors and hanged them on my Kitchen window. Ain’t they look cool? J I love to do these kind of experiments and such random thoughts keeps coming in my mind.

Now, it’s time to add accessories; these are the small keys that complete the decorative look. In your small balcony, the most important accessories will be the plant pots themselves, wall decors and decorative items like I have added birds from a plant and it really appears cute. I have added some artificial butterflies on the wall to give warmth and natural touch.

More surprises are on the way…. Let me finish my tea first. :)

I’m open for suggestions, feel free to share your thoughts. Stay tuned!!
