How to Decorate Walls With Candles

Hang candle wall sconces in pairs around larger pieces of art or framed photographs. Choose fixtures that work with the room’s decor and are not too large for the wall’s size or the size of the artwork. Hang a single sconce on both sides of a wall mirror to make a smaller space appear larger.

Display candles on wall shelving. Choose a single, long shelf or hang several smaller shelves from the wall to show off the candle collection. Arrange candles of the same height in rows or place two to three smaller candles on both sides of a larger candle or decorative object like a statue or vase.

Draw attention to an accent wall with candles. Hang large candle sconces or display candles on shelving to create a focal point in the room. Choose a material and color to complement the space. For instance, create a rustic focal point with a wooden sconce or choose a black metal sconce for a more modern look. Draw more attention to the accent wall by choosing candle hues that complement the paint color.

Display other decorative items with the candles on the wall sconces or shelving. Weave an artificial vine through a metal wall sconce or showcase photographs on a shelf with candles.

Hang a matching pair of wall sconces on either side of a window. This will accent the window without taking away from the view outside.
