A chandelier to illuminate your Christmas meals and dinners
Do you remember the old ceiling chandeliers? You know that all trends are coming back, and we have resurrected this to illuminate your Christmas meals (and those of the rest of the year). The ceiling chandelier ÄPPELVIKEN allows to combine functional electric light with ambient lighting of candles.
On the one hand, you can place electric bulbs in your central fixture to illuminate the entire room and, as the evening comes to an end, you can lower its intensity or change candles or candlesticks in its four arms. LED candles are as good as the LJUSANDE of the image.
At the end of the day, we all want good lighting for different needs in the same room, something that this lamp offers us without any difficulty. Are you going to try it this Christmas?
The red candles can not miss!
If there are some Christmas candles that we love, those are the red ones. No matter its design, shape or size: place them in everyone's sight, on a shelf, commode, on a table ... One trick is to combine several of them on a tray. Thus, not only will you give a decorative touch of the most flattering, but also avoid spilling the wax of the candle on the furniture.
Candles can be our decoration in itself (or not ...)
If you are one of those who prefer a more discreet and elegant Christmas decoration, without the typical colors of the time, you can bet on the candles as a decoration in itself. That is, as a way to give that warm and welcoming touch to your home without too much stridency.
Of course, you can always combine them with all kinds of accessories and decoration to create a discreet result at the same time spectacular during this time of year. Combine different types of candles, candlesticks and stands for an even more striking result.
Scent can enhance your mood. I get a warm festive feeling if I smell cinnamon or clove, so I look for candles scented with one of those”

Aromatic candles for different moods
Lovers of aromatic candles will already know that they are a wonderful way to set the home, but also to produce one or another sensation depending on the chosen smell.
Bergamot in bloom, pine and moss, mountain air, vanilla, cinnamon, autumn leaves or green apple are some of the smells of scented candles that we have in IKEA, and that are ideal to light at this time of year.
Did you know that the smell of lavender helps you achieve a greater sense of calm, vanilla to make spaces more pleasant and cozy, or cinnamon to set the mood for celebrations? Try to find your favorite scent for every occasion!
How about LED candles as decoration this Christmas?
We already know that there is nothing like the flame, like the fire of a real candle. The sensation that it produces when turning it on is already a pleasure in itself.
But it is also true that we can not always have the vigilance and care required to have several candles lit at home. Therefore, if you have children or simply do not want to be constantly watching them, you can choose the varieties of LED candles. Not only are they safe, but they are also very beautiful when different models are placed creating a harmonious set with another type of complementary decoration, as in this case.
