I have loads of candles around my house. I love lighting up my house with indirect lights like lamps and candles.
I know of a lot of people who only buy candles because they match their curtains or couches and never light them…. Talk about not exploring your creativity !!
Here are a few creative candle ideas…
This one being the easiest... Fill any pretty glass bowl with stones, pebbles, bath salt or even sand. Then add a few tealights... and the mood is created!! Try Rangoli colours or coloured pebbles for more excitement !

This one I thought was the most creative!! Turn any vegetable into a candle holder... from eggplants to peppers. The more the colours... the more the glamour!

I am sure we all have a bottle of herbs or of coloured pasta or even coloured lentils. Here Designer - Susan Kinney, has changed the outlook of the little bottle, by simply placing a candle in it.... Lets try this one!!
