The votive candle might be the most misunderstood, under-rated candle going. A single votive candle, on its own, can add a tiny touch of elegance and ambiance to a room. However, a single votive candle isn’t all that spectacular. When you add a host of votive candles together, this all changes. The end appearance can be quite spectacular.

A plain votive candle nestled in a grouping of pillar candles is a great way to add a touch of dazzle and a bit of atmosphere to a room. Whether a votive candle is scented, colored or housed in a designer holder, it is the first element in creating an incredible designer look. Groupings of three, five or more votive candles look fantastic when used in a number of circumstances. Whether they are placed flat in groupings or on platforms to elevate rows of votive candle holders above each other, the overall effect of multiple votives is generally quite eye catching.

A lit votive candle in a wall sconce adds ambiance to a room, whether it is the dining room, family room, living room or bathroom. When you enter a room that has a lit votive candle with the room being darkened, the flickering light adds that something special to the room.

A votive candle isn’t much to write home about on its own. When votive candle groupings are used to create a specific look, however, the outcome can be quite stunning.
