How to Choose the Perfect Candle Color and Decorate It with a Unique Style

At Luminus, we understand that a carved candle is not just a source of light but a beautiful art piece that adds elegance and warmth to any space. That’s why we pay special attention to selecting the perfect candle color and decoration to match the client’s taste and home décor, creating a masterpiece that reflects their personality.

Choosing the Candle Color According to Home Décor

When selecting a candle color, we consider the overall décor of the home to ensure it complements the surrounding elements like furniture, walls, and curtains. Here’s how we choose the ideal color:

Modern Décor: For homes with bold, contemporary colors like blue, red, or black, we opt for strong-colored candles that bring a pop of color. Shades like turquoise, gold, or bright white add vibrancy and energy to the space.

Classic or Rustic Décor: For homes with warm tones such as beige, brown, or wood accents, we select cozy shades like creamy white, beige, or light green to bring warmth and balance to the room.

Minimalistic or Neutral Décor: In homes decorated with neutral tones like gray or white, we choose calming candle colors like light gray, white, or metallic hues such as silver and gold to enhance the space’s softness and elegance.

How We Decorate Carved Candles

Once the color is chosen, we move on to decorating the candle to highlight its beauty and complement the home décor. In our workshop, we use various techniques depending on the candle’s type and the client’s preferences. Here are some of our favorite methods:

Adding Glitter: One of our signature techniques is adding a thin layer of glitter to the edges of the candle using Mod Podge glue. This gives the candle a shimmering, unique touch, making it perfect for special occasions or to add a festive atmosphere.
Using Dried Flowers: We love adding a natural touch to candles by incorporating dried flowers like lavender or roses. This method adds softness and nature’s charm to the candle, making it ideal for rustic or classic settings. We also use aromatic herbs for a pleasant fragrance and calming ambiance.
Decorating with Ribbons: Silk or fabric ribbons wrapped around the candle can beautifully complement the room’s décor. We often add small flowers or pearl beads to the ribbons to elevate elegance. This style works wonderfully for modern spaces or those that need a luxurious touch.
Embellishing with Gemstones: Sometimes we decorate the candles with gemstones such as beads or pearls. The gems are applied with special glue, adding a luxurious and refined look. This method is particularly ideal for special occasions like weddings or formal events.
Gradient Colored Candles: To create a visually striking effect, we sometimes use gradient colors on the candles. This technique transitions from a lighter color at the top to a darker shade at the bottom, giving the candle depth and a stunning visual impact.

Christmas Candle Decorations

For the festive season, we offer Christmas Carved Candles designed to evoke warmth and holiday cheer:

Seasonal Colors: We use traditional Christmas colors such as red, green, gold, and silver to bring the festive spirit into your home.

Winter Accents: Candles are adorned with winter-themed embellishments like stars, snowflakes, or small trees, using metallic colors or 3D decoration pieces to create a cozy holiday atmosphere.

Holiday Scents: We infuse candles with holiday scents like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine to add a delightful aroma that enhances the seasonal ambiance.

Festive Touches: We decorate candles with rich velvet ribbons in red or gold, and add small ornaments like baubles to create an elegant, celebratory vibe

How Do We Choose the Right Decoration Style?

The decoration style varies depending on the occasion or the ambiance you want to create. In our workshop, we work closely with each client to ensure the candle design reflects their personality and fits perfectly with the space it will be placed in. We also take care to match the candle with the room’s dominant colors and existing décor elements.

Conclusion

At Luminus, we believe a candle is more than just a source of light—it’s a unique décor item that contributes to creating a beautiful and cozy atmosphere. By carefully selecting colors and applying innovative decoration techniques, we ensure each carved candle is a work of art that brings charm and elegance to any space.
