We all know candlelight adds a certain ambience to table settings, use a couple of candlesticks for a romantic dinner – or for a table centrepiece group a few together – a mixture of shapes and sizes for a more eclectic feel. Or line up the lamps along the centre of the table with a single stem of a flower in a Dartington vase laid out alternatively between each candlestick. Allow the incandescent light to bounce off your walls and stimulate conversation.
Create a glow at a family barbeque and use the hurricane lamps as a table display outdoors – the glowing candles slowly taking over from the setting sun.
For interiors try one of the Appledore Tall Candlesticks either end of your mantelpiece, together with one of the smaller Appledore Candlestick holders for a classic display. Or what about setting some out on an empty grate or on the hearth and lighting the candles to create a focal point without the need for lighting a roaring fire. The blaze range also makes a wonderful, richly coloured addition to any interior.
Simple ideas with maximum impact. Strike a match, set the mood and sit back and enjoy Dartington’s wonderful range of glass for candle light. |
