The Candle Cozy


I came across this rather creative way to dress up pillar candles on the popular home staging show “Take This House & Sell It.” I thought this was such an ingenious way to take an ordinary house hold accessory and make it coordinate with different design elements in the room. Extra fabric from a window treatment or pillows can be easily tailored to wrap around the candle(s). Or you could even visit a local fabric store to purchase fabrics that coordinate with an existing textile in the space to help coordinate colour, harmony and even texture. As seen above, a candle cozy can even been knitted. It’s also a great way to create what style you are going for a room. For example, I can picture the above knitted cozy in a cabin or a rustic themed space. Or you could use a funky, modern fabric to update a space. I just love this inexpensive approach to design and I look forward to trying it out.

Happy decorating!
