How to Decorate With Seashell Candles

Decorating with Seashell-Encased Candles

• 1

  Place seashell-encased candles around the corners of the bathroom sink if you want them to function as night lights. Light these in the evenings for a natural, soft glow. During the day, they adorn the bathroom, especially if you continue the tropical theme, such as a beach-themed shower curtain, and bath towels or bath mats in a sea-foam, bluish green.

  Decorate the kitchen counter with seashell-encased candles by placing them in corners, near other decorations or in shaded areas. Seashell candles accent other decorations if placed near them, and they light up decorations that are in dim lighting. They also create subtle mood lighting.
