Gone are the days when candles were associated with churches or romantic interludes. With the variety of shapes and sizes available, candles now adorn countertops in every home. The muted light of candles also creates a sense of calm and peace. Use scented candles in bathrooms and living areas, whereas for kitchens and dining rooms stick to ordinary ones as they interfere with food smells.

Clocks

Clocks are the most mundane and often most overlooked accessories in any home. It is a common feature in most houses often in more rooms than one. Then why is it that do we not pay too much attention to this accessory? Clocks can serve more than just necessity. An antique grandfather clock can be used as a centrepiece or even a room separator. Even regular wall clocks have been taken up a notch with different designs and functions.

Personal Collectibles

The only rule you need here is that anything goes. It is your home and it is up to you to add some of your personality to it. If you like music, hang up a guitar on an accent wall; if reading is your thing, then creatively display some books on the wall. Anything goes – from vinyl records and Swarovski to porcelain cats and eclectic teapots use everything but stick to one major theme. Imbibe a sense of being into your house and let your personality shine with your personal collectibles.
