For any Victorian room in your home, go for any type of votive sized candle surrounded by flowers. You think, "A grubby candle in an elegant setting?!", but grubbies can set off any spot in your home if used correctly. You could also put a grouping of tapers in a big bunch of flowers.

Wanting to spruce up the table for a romantic dinner? Use these tips to create a stunning centerpiece! What first grabs your eye when you look at this grouping? Probably the tapers, right? Or it might be the shiny silk floral rings. Like I mentioned above, the tall tapers add height, while the floral candle rings add a ton of dimension! To make the cute coffee cup candle holder, see the DIY tip above! To add a contemporary touch, stack 3 different colored heart candles on top of each other. You don't have to burn them - they can just look good! To top off the look, sprinkle real or silk rosebuds around the arrangement. Enjoy your dinner!

In the classic American home, taper holders are HOT right now! Accent a cute niche in your home with one of these holders, surrounded by any type of smaller candle (in this case, grubbies) and coordinating flowers.

Going for the primitive look? As usual, grubby votives for the answer. Make a plain wicker basket shine by adding some primitive or crafty itmes and some greenery. The taller taper in the background placed on the country wooden holder adds height, while the floral ring adds dimension. When using silk flowers in primitive decorating, always be sure to choose the ones that have the "expensive" look to them. Just the regular cheap silk flowers don't do the primitive look justice. Do it yourself:Turn a regular coffee mug into a candle holder!! Stuff the bottom with tissue paper and place a votive/grubby votive in it. Use a matching floral ring in the back, and voila!! No expensive decorating here, just the expensive looking basics!
