I like to light candles when I'm relaxing at home. They have a nice ambience. But I feel like the ambience could be even better! What kinds of candles are good for a casual meal at the table? For sitting around reading or studying or watching tv? Hit me with your best atmosphere-makers, please!
Right now, I just have a couple pillar candles from the craft store that have lasted forever. One is on my bedroom dresser (I basically never light it) and one is on my dining table (I light it when I eat dinner).
I'm interested in candle size, number of candles, candle holders (even lanterns!), candle use — what are your tips for everyday, homey candlelight?
