During a period when everybody is living on a budget and sacrificing unneeded expenses, decorating with candles and scents can go a long way without overspending. Here are 10 things you can do to bring beauty and enjoyment to your home with candles and fragrance.

1. A simple meal eaten with friends and brightened up by lovely shining candle tapers will make the atmosphere elegant. Actually, leftovers can even be more appetizing if you light several candles before eating.
2. Use a glass mirror to reflect the flames and enhance the illumination of three pillar candles of different heights grouped together. Randomly shaped beveled mirrors are inexpensive and sold at most craft stores. For additional fun and glamour, shake some sparkly confetti on the mirror.
3. Votive candleholders in an eclectic grouping bring the addition of warmth and drama.
4. Enhance visual stimulation by using an odd number of candles.
5. Put beaded bracelets and charms on candle jars as a decoration to have a dressier appearance. Try themes that are different for various holidays. The bracelets become illuminated when the jar is lit, adding visual pleasure.
6. Have a different fragrance in each room to increase the enjoyment. When you use various scents that go together, it will stimulate your sense of smell as you move around in your home. You will not become desensitized by smelling one scent continuously.
7. People who suffer from allergies usually can use soy candles if they can't tolerate paraffin wax candles. Long lasting, soy candles are free from residue that is sooty. A delightful variety of fragrances and colors are available.
8. When you float candles in a punchbowl full of bubbly club soda with bright red cranberries and festive green mint floating on the surface, you will have a lovely centerpiece that your guests will admire.
9. Wall sconces are available in more shapes and sizes than you can imagine to hold tea lights or votive candles which can bring a mood of drama and romance. It doesn't cost a lot to replace spent tea lights. If you are worried about fire, you can get a flameless tea light candle that will last for hours using a small, replaceable battery.
10. Employ aromatic reed diffusers for rooms that are left unattended, like bathrooms. They are lovely and continuously release essential oils that are fragrant without worrying about fire risk.
Even with a restricted budget, candles and fragrance can make a home's decor better and can bring pleasure at anytime. A top priority must be fire safety always, especially around pets and children. Since the light and candle glow brings a lot of pleasure and enjoyment, they are wonderful gifts, even if you buy them for yourself.
