Candles on champagne flutesI love candles at any time of the year for home decorating, but especially during Christmas! But instead of just doing the same old thing like placing a pillar candle on beautiful ring, check out these unusual home decor ideas that you can use now and all during the year.

Again, one of my favorite publications, Real Simple, has come up with photos and ideas that turn your candles into displays of art.

Take for instance the cream-colored candles here placed on top of champagne flutes! What a home decorating great idea! And furthermore, notice how the color of the cloth runner underneath it gives it an overall blue appearance.  But you could use your favorite color to change up the mood!  I use a lot of magenta or hot pink and of course shades of purple in my home decorating.  These colors look just as lovely and go with any home decor.
