Candles in themselves create a special romantic atmosphere. But if they are also decorated, then this fabulous beauty cannot be described in words.
In the interior of a dwelling, sometimes it is enough to change one insignificant element so that the whole house comes to life and sparkles with new colors. Do-it-yourself apartment decor allows, without resorting to global transformations, to change the atmosphere and style of the entire room. Ideas for needlework are almost inexhaustible and depend only on your imagination. At the same time, local decoration does not require large expenses: a lot of things can be done from the remnants of building materials after repairs, or from old things.
This idea is very original and requires a non-standard approach to ordinary things. It is not difficult to make such home decor, but in the end you can get an interesting floor or wall decoration.
The idea is easiest to implement if during the repair you changed windows and you still have an unnecessary window frame with a fairly strong frame. You can also take an old door if it was not made of a solid canvas, but had panels or glass inserts. In addition to the frame, you will need:
- dye
- cardboard
- the cloth
- scotch
- photos or pictures
- various decorative elements.
First, glass or other inserts are removed, and then the frame is carefully sanded so that there are no bumps and sagging of the old paint.
The cleaned frame is covered with fresh paint. It is not necessary to take only white - you can pick it up under.
The base for the collage is cut out of cardboard along the inside. Then the appropriate fabric is selected and a piece is cut off with allowances for the collars. The fabric is ironed, pulled tightly over the base and secured with paper tape on the reverse side.
Elements of the future collage are attached to the front side of the fabric using thin double-sided tape.
The finished collage is inserted into the updated frame.
The back surface is also closed with a cloth, the edges of which are neatly tucked inward.
Such DIY home decor will be an interesting decoration for any room.
Panel of cereals and pasta
This original panel looks very stylish. If everything is done correctly, then under the layer of paint it is almost impossible to see the source material.
To create a panel, you need to prepare:
- plastic tray
- cereals, legumes, curly pasta, dry berries
- aerosol enamel of a suitable color.
The tray is rubbed with sandpaper so that all small elements adhere more firmly to the rough surface. The area is covered with glue and the available bulk products are poured on top - peas, pearl barley, etc.
When the glue dries, curly pasta, dried berries, and beans are glued on top. You can create any picture you like.
After drying, the panel is covered with aerosol enamel. These do-it-yourself home decorations look great in compositions, so it is recommended to make several panels in a similar style and place them in a group.
Notebook on the fridge
The original notepad for notes is made according to the same principle as the panel, but for attaching to it, it is necessary to equip the craft with small magnets.
You will need:
- the same cereals as for the panel
- small notepad with loose-leaf paper
- felt-tip pen
- thick cardboard
- dye
- matches
- furniture varnish
- pieces of magnet or magnetic sheet.
A base is cut out of thick cardboard, the size of which is 7-8 cm larger than the notebook on all sides. The cardboard is covered with paint. The heads of the matches are cut off and after the paint has dried, they are glued to the base in the intended order.
A thick layer of glue is applied to the base and each section is sprinkled with a separate type of cereal.
The entire surface is lightly pressed with your fingers, then the excess cereal is poured onto the table. On one side, the cap of the felt-tip pen is glued and the whole structure is left for the glue to dry. After that, cereals and matches are abundantly varnished, which will serve as an additional binding material. When the varnish dries, a notebook is glued on the front side, and magnets on the back. This is what the finished notebook will look like.
Unusual dandelion balls
These original do-it-yourself decor items emphasize the individuality of the room surprisingly well and harmoniously.
To make them you will need:
- cotton buds
- foam ball base
- food colorings
- tubule or twig for the "stem".
Cotton buds are cut in half. By the way, you may be interested in an article about crafts from matches, which you can read.
A foam ball can be taken in any size. If it is small, then you will get just “dandelions” for a vase. From larger balls, you can make fantastic figures that will look very unusual. Sticks with cotton wool are inserted into the ball, while they should be located very tightly so that the “dandelions” turn out to be fluffy.
Ready-made balls are painted in any color - multi-colored food colors are suitable for coloring.
After that, the foam ball is put on the leg - an unusual do-it-yourself decor for an apartment is ready!
textile frame
Such original frames, decorated with dried flowers or beautiful spices, will be an excellent decoration for the kitchen.
You will need:
- a piece of cardboard (depending on the required frame size)
- fabric scraps, decorative tape
- PVA glue
- scissors
- dried flowers or spices for decoration.
A frame is cut out of cardboard, smeared on both sides with PVA glue and carefully wrapped with decorative braid.
A cardboard rectangle is cut out according to the outer size of the frame. Lubricated with glue and glued with a cloth. The frame is glued to the “back” and the whole structure is placed under a small press (you can take several books).
After the frame has dried, the selected decor is glued to it.
If you make several of these frames with different finishes, then such do-it-yourself interior items can be included in a wide variety of compositions.
Mat made of leather belts
Making your own carpet from belts is not difficult at all. There are several options for such crafts, but the main two differ in the method of fastening the belts - end-to-end with a rope (staples) or by sticking to the base.
In the first case you will need:
- about 10 belts made of genuine or artificial leather
- awl or leather puncher
- rope or twine.
The belts are cut to the same length, holes are made along their edges at the same distance (after 2-3 cm). The straps are then sewn together with thin rope or twine. You can stretch the rope between the holes in any order - along, across or crosswise. Metal staples look very stylish if you use them instead of a rope.
- The second method involves gluing belts on a dense base. You can lay out different patterns - "herringbone", "checkerboard", "zigzag", etc. The procedure is similar to the previous method. It is very important that the belts are not wrinkled, otherwise the rug will be ugly.
- Belts are being prepared, buckles are cut off. If you want to lay out patterns, then the belts are cut into several parts. To do this, a preliminary layout of individual leather elements is drawn up and their dimensions are calculated. Then cut lines are marked on the belts and "patterns" are made along them.
- As a basis, a piece of dense fabric is used, from which a figure of the desired size and shape is cut out. Belts are laid out on the canvas in the appropriate order. The wrong side is pre-degreased. Then an adhesive suitable for joining leather and fabric is applied, the strap is pressed against the base and excess adhesive is quickly removed from its surface.
In this way, you can cover the entire floor in the room - it looks very stylish!
For the successful implementation of this incredible DIY decor idea for your home, you need to stick the belts on plywood sheets and then lay them on the floor. Such a coating goes well with parquet or laminate.
Dish stand
A few wooden hangers easily turn into a simple but very original dish rack.
To work, you need 8 wooden hangers. Metal hooks are removed from them and the lower crossbars are removed from 6 hangers. Three pairs of hangers are connected with a “jack” using self-tapping screws. Single hangers are installed between the pairs and the whole structure is fastened with the same remaining lower crossbars. For this, recesses in the shoulders (if any) are perfect. Two crossbars are attached under the junctions of the hangers in pairs, which will ensure the rigidity and stability of the structure.
Such a stand is not suitable for drying dishes, since wooden hangers do not have a special coating and will quickly deteriorate from constant moisture. But if you cover the wooden hangers with a water-repellent emulsion or use plastic hangers, then such DIY home decorations can be safely used as drying.
Original shelves from furniture boxes
Drawers that are left over from old furniture can be turned into beautiful and practical interior elements. Of these, you can either racks and place various little things on them, creating nice decorative compositions. This solution is suitable for lovers of vintage jewelry.
To create such an apartment decor with your own hands, you can take any old drawers from a closet, desk, chest of drawers or kitchen set. Worthy use can be found for any number of drawers of different sizes.
For this you need:
- remove the boxes, check the integrity of their surfaces and connections;
- handles can not be removed - they give an original look to the decor;
- change the appearance of the boxes at your discretion;
- you can add transverse shelves;
- screw the drawers to the wall with screws or make them removable by attaching hanging mounts from the back;
- arrange decor or lay out things.
Small boxes are suitable for decorating the interior, while large ones are used as additional shelves for storing things. For example, you can place beautiful dishes, small plastic, figurines or photographs on them - all this will look very unusual in boxes with handles mounted on the walls.
A very convenient option is shelves for small things: books, CDs, bath accessories, jewelry, handicraft supplies.
You can change the type of boxes, based on their purpose, and as your imagination suggests. A very interesting solution is obtained if we focus on the design of the back wall. For this, the remnants of wallpaper and fabric are suitable (they will hide an uneven surface well), paint, notes, old geographical maps, etc.
Butterflies on the walls
Free-floating moths are a great DIY home decor that creates a romantic atmosphere. Vinyl stickers are now sold that you just need to attach to the wall, but it is much more pleasant to make them yourself from vinyl tape.
To get a large-scale, voluminous panel, you need to use a lot of butterflies of different sizes. Butterfly images can be found online. Stencils are prepared from them, applied to a vinyl film, outlined and cut out.
Then markings are made on the wall, butterflies are applied to it and glued with the central part so that the panel comes out voluminous. The wings should remain with a film that will prevent them from sticking to the wall. This will give the impression that the butterflies seem to "hover" against the wall. The figures can be arranged in a spiral or in any way you like.
Rope aerial lamp
To make such a lamp, you will need a minimum of improvised material and financial costs.
Have to take:
- beach ball
- hemp rope
- latex paint.
On the surface of the beach ball (it is necessary to take an unnecessary one, since it will later need to burst), a circle is drawn into which a light bulb will be inserted. This hole is located at the bottom of the future product.
Glue is poured into the jar, a rope is dipped into it and the excess is carefully removed with fingers. For ease of wetting, the rope is wound into free loops. Then the beach ball is completely wrapped with this rope, while the drawn circle should not be affected. The finished ball is thoroughly dried.
When the rope dries, the beach ball is pierced, air is released from it, and then it is carefully removed through the hole.
The bottom of the lamp is painted in latex paint. After the air lamp dries, a light bulb of small power is inserted into it.
With the maximum of your imagination, you can create an amazing home decor with your own hands from improvised materials. Just think what you like. And create!
Often, extraordinary do-it-yourself room decor techniques become the main highlight of the entire interior. But here it is important to take into account the style and design of the room: futuristic objects are a very dubious decoration of an English-style living room, wooden pallets with inscriptions in the rhythm of Provence are not suitable for a high-tech kitchen interior, just as aluminum plates are unlikely to fit into elegant Art Deco. In an effort to create exquisite eclecticism, you can easily make a mistake. It is very important to think over everything in advance, namely the location and fastening of decorative elements.
We offer to consider interesting solutions for the room, in addition to paintings, posters and photos. However, let's not forget about them.
Window as a decorative element of the interior
A window mounted in a wall, which is an interior partition, is a rather extraordinary technique for dividing space. Such a solution will not only become the main decoration of two zones at the same time, but will also allow more natural light to pass from one room to another.
A window frame can also be an extraordinary independent art object. Hang it on the wall or put it on a console - this technique will radically change the atmosphere, add lightness and elegant charm to it.
The wooden aged frame with a large number of sections looks very colorful. Such a decorative thing is easy to make on your own at minimal cost.
A decorative window frame can serve not only as a decoration of a room, but also be a functional piece of furniture. So, mirrors in deglazing like a window frame look quite interesting. A good example is shown in the photo of the interior of the bedroom.
door against the wall
In addition to windows, old doors can become an unexpected decoration of the walls of a room. A sophisticated idea is to hang on them something obvious in traditional wall decoration, such as paintings, panels, photographs.
large-scale panels
Decorating a room with a three-dimensional panel is an excellent opportunity to show your creative imagination. Here try to experiment with textures, colors, materials and other components.
The dimensions of the decorative panel must be correlated with the quadrature of the room and the workload of all other walls. A large panel in a small room will look ridiculous: after all, its texture and color sometimes absorb space. Please note that panels and wallpapers are different things! The larger the panel, the brighter its role in the home interior, the more neutral the adjacent walls should be.
Take a fresh look at ordinary material. An old metal sheet hung on a chain will become an original and extraordinary substrate for a poster or photographs.
Squares from sections of simple fiberboard, painted with stain and silver (by the way, you can safely use painting and stencils) will be beautiful in the form of a panel. In this view, it will perfectly fit into the luxurious industrial loft style.
You can also easily decorate one of the living room walls with your own hands. The composition of impressive large-scale tiles captivates with its originality and simplicity. You can fantasize about this topic endlessly.
Take a look at how the tic-tac-toe on the accent wall unobtrusively spread their playful mood throughout the room.
Panels with 3D effect
A recent fashion trend for multi-dimensional decor elements is rapidly gaining popularity. The 3D panels presented in the following photo literally attract the eyes of others. Affordable prices allow many to purchase such panels for decoration, while the texture and pattern can be chosen to your taste. There are many design options: engravings, plaster bas-reliefs, compositions from various multidimensional details.
Do not forget about the fragility of such products. Mounting and transporting them is very difficult, but the visual result is worth it.
Room decoration with shelves
Shelves in a room can serve not only as a functional piece of furniture, but also as a creative decor in the room. It is important that the shelves contrast in color with the wall. Think carefully about how to fill them beautifully and harmoniously - half-empty shelves create a feeling of a certain imperfection of the interior. Excellent decorative content will be candles and lamps, hourglasses, original bookends, colorful ceramics.
An even greater decorative effect will be created by cute compact shelves of a non-standard shape (triangles, polyhedral cells, unnatural corners).
Posters and paintings
Decorating a room with paintings, photographs and posters is perhaps the most common decor today. In order for the result to live up to expectations, look dignified and unbanal, you need to carefully select the elements of fine art.
Show your imagination, choose a non-standard approach: frame plant herbariums instead of painted still lifes, retro-style tin panels and posters instead of flowers on canvas, pencil sketches of animals instead of waterfalls and beaches.
If you still decide to buy something unique, buy paintings at exhibitions, special sites or on trips abroad.
Photos can be arranged in a completely non-standard way.
Unusual Attributes
Giant letters in inscriptions, quotes in posters, deer antlers - all these items are so common in interiors that today one would hardly want to see them again. But even from these seemingly familiar details, you can create an original combination in your own way. You just need to interpret them skillfully.
So, for example, a composition of five medallions with deer antlers already looks unusual, while inscriptions made in a non-standard font and placed on atypical canvases (not in rectangular frames, but at least in a hexagon) are perceived completely differently.
More ideas for do-it-yourself room decor are presented in a bright selection in the photo.
Original decor of flowers and plants
DIY decor ideas allow you to decorate the interior of your home and get aesthetic pleasure. Consider simple and interesting options.
Every housewife wants to fill her home with comfort and warmth. Such simple tricks as thick curtains on the windows, carpets and various pleasant little things that relate to the decor will help to do this.
However, you must admit that these little things are much more pleasant to do with your own hands - filled with your loving and positive energy, they will surely bring good luck and happiness to your home.
So, how to decorate the interior inexpensively and beautifully? We have collected the simplest and most interesting instructions - it will not be difficult even for a beginner to make them.
Decorating furniture with your own hands
If your old furniture requires an external update, it is not at all necessary to spend a lot of money on buying a new one - it is enough to slightly change the design you are used to. This can be done in several ways.
Furniture decoupage
The method is an application-like method. If you are using decoupage paper, simply cut out your drawing with scissors and attach it to the surface to be decorated (it must be perfectly flat, so it is recommended to prepare the furniture in advance), fixing it with glue from the outside.
At the same time, glue must be applied generously so that the paper is completely saturated with it. When the drawing dries, it is additionally fixed with furniture varnish.
Furniture painting
If you are good at drawing, painting will breathe new life into your aged furniture and update the interior.
You can draw any image or composition - it all depends on your desire and the surrounding interior. For example, flowers look great on a closet, and a chest of drawers can be decorated with an image of an animal.
Acrylic paints are often used. Unfortunately, not each of us has the heat of painting - in this case, you can use stencils.
Acrylic paints adhere well to wood and laminated surfaces, but do not adhere well to varnished surfaces, so they require several layers.
Decoration with rhinestones
You can decorate the elements of a table, chair or other furniture using the same acrylic paint and rhinestones that are sold in specialized stores with sewing accessories.
Furniture, if desired, paint with acrylic paint, and on certain elements of it, make a bead ornament. They should be fixed with varnish when the glue is completely dry.
Decorating furniture with your own hands is a process that allows you to create something truly beautiful, filled with your energy, for the benefit of business and soul. In addition, decorating makes it possible to significantly save money on the purchase of new furniture.
Mirror - a special element of the interior
It's no secret that mirrors can make a room appear larger and brighter. It is she who makes it possible for the rich imagination of the designer to roam - there are many ideas for its design and decoration! Let's consider the simplest ones.
mirror corridor
You will need 5 mirrors, you can have different shapes and sizes. Hang them in ascending order on the wall. Such a composition above the stairs will look great.
The mirror in shells will be a great decoration for the bathroom
You will need:
- Glue.
- Tassel.
- Mirror without frame.
- Shells.
- Varnish or spray paint.
On the wall, lay out a frame of shells around the mirror. Glue the shells to the mirror, first applying glue with a brush.
Do this carefully - the glue should not fall on the mirror surface. Before varnishing or spray painting shells, cover the surface of the mirror with newspaper so as not to splatter it.
Mirror in rhinestones
You will need a small round or oval unframed mirror. Cut out a ball of thick cardboard circle in the shape of a mirror, but a few centimeters wider, as well as many thin strips that need to be glued into circles of the same size - make 3-4 rows of them, which will create your frame.
Glue these circles to the edges of the cardboard ball and fix with glue. Then glue a mirror to the cardboard and start wrapping circles with rhinestones. Thus, you will get a stunningly beautiful frame.
Beaded mirror frame
You will need multi-colored or solid color beads. You can purchase models of different diameters and shades. Apply glue to the edges of the mirror and glue beads (or rhinestones).
Do not apply glue around the entire perimeter of the mirror at once, so that it does not dry out and disturb the accuracy of the composition.
DIY home decor using a mirror is one of the win-win options. Feel free to experiment with different options for decorating mirrors.

So stock up:
- Lots of thick paper. It can be white, but in this case, your butterflies will have to be painted.

Step 1 Draw freehand butterflies on paper and cut them out. Bend the figurine slightly in half to create the illusion of a flying butterfly.

DIY home decor - paper roses
Such roses will be an excellent decoration for the living room, bedroom or even the kitchen.
You can choose either white or colored paper or sheets from color magazines. For this:

Conclusion
When choosing decor ideas with your own hands, be sure to pay attention to the design of your room and try to choose the option that harmoniously merges with the overall style.
The interior can be functional or comfortable, but it is the small details that can bring a sense of coziness and unique features to the room. After all, a house is not just a place where we satisfy our vital needs, but a kind of continuation of our individuality. There are many ideas for decoration, but we have chosen 12 of the most beautiful do-it-yourself room decor options that everyone can implement on their own.
1. Garden in a bottle or florarium
Potted flowers look very cute, but to bring a unique touch to the interior of the room, we suggest going a little further and putting a garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive in normal conditions.
An airtight container with a minimum amount of air creates a humid atmosphere, ideal for some types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptanthus, pellionia, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, be guided not only by their external properties, but also by height - it is necessary that it matches the size of the container.
Any glass container with a neck that closes easily and is convenient for planting can become a “home” for a garden.
So, first you need to fill the bottle with material for drainage and earth. Think over the composition, then dig holes with a spoon with an elongated handle. Next, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. Florarium is ready!
2. Geometric shelves
Sometimes it is better to abandon massive bookcases, using simple compositions of geometric shapes in the interior instead. Due to the conciseness, such shelves will perfectly fit into any design without causing difficulties during creation.
They are made like ordinary shelves - from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the design on a hook. Just do not put easily breakable objects there.
3. Decorate the wall with nails and thread
No matter how strange this phrase may sound, but the decor of nails and threads is a real-life direction, which is called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have a place to turn around - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind a strand, creating a unique work.
You will need threads, nails and a base into which they can be driven. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which a strand passes.
There are many options for drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed paintings with a diverse palette of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor anywhere else.
4. Hooks for cutlery clothes
Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use a second chance by turning them into a practical decor element? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual coat hooks in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.
You can give a curved shape to a metal object using a hammer or a vice, and for mounting on a base, it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.
Forks look interesting, the teeth of which are directed in different directions. With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on hooks.
5. Ottomans from old magazines
And although today the main sources of information are the Internet and television, quite recently people learned about the areas of interest in life from magazines, which since then, more than a dozen have accumulated in many homes. Instead of throwing away waste paper, we suggest making a comfortable ottoman out of it.
Such a piece of furniture, in addition to magazines about gardening or construction, consists of a wooden base (which you can make yourself from a carpentry shield), a pillow and two old belts that tighten the entire structure.
It is recommended to select publications of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and the theme of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.
6. Thread lampshade
It happens that you go to the store for a chandelier: there seem to be many options, but the prices bite, and the presented models do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate your home with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands, using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon.
The balloon must be inflated, wrapped with plastic wrap, and on top of it with threads, leaving a small hole. Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after which the base must be removed after drying. The final stage is the electrical connection to the lampshade.
Such a ceiling can be used both for a chandelier and for a lamp. Try not to overdo it with threads - the design must be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for a modern interior, and multi-colored yarn will create bright accents.
7. Curtains for doorways
In rooms where it was decided to abandon doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as a light partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it will not be difficult to enter such an element into the interior design.
Instead of a solid, albeit transparent fabric, it is better to stop at curtains made of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details collected in a chain (this will add a little gloss).
It is not difficult to create such a product, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme. The partition is usually mounted on a mounted crossbar, which ensures easy movement if necessary.
8. Possibilities of decorative tape
Scotch tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the decor possibilities.
Paper tape is more suitable for modern design, in which such unusual solutions look the most organic. Using adhesive tape, you can, for example, circle pieces of furniture, diversify plain surfaces, “write” words or phrases, and even zoning.
It will also be possible to decorate smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since products in the modern market are presented in different sizes. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the possibilities of the room.
9. Decoupage in the interior
Probably, many have heard about this simple, aesthetic decor option, only in the context of small crafts. But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger items, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.
Decoupage decorates even surfaces of furniture, tiles, glass. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floral patterns are suitable for classics and Provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures for pop art.
In the work you will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreaser and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the object. It is better to practice beforehand, as with inaccurate application, bubbles or other traces may remain.
10. Garlands for every day
Glowing lights are not only a New Year's attribute. They can also be used for everyday decor, creating real magic in the room.
Garlands turn into a kind of night light if placed in a glass container, like a jar or vase. You can also hang them on the back of the bed, but the lights on the canopies look even more spectacular. Just remember to be safe and check that the adjacent material does not heat up.
Mounted on the wall, garlands look good with Polaroid photos, highlighting them beautifully. When inscribing such lighting into the interior of a room, it is important to keep the line between festive and everyday design.
11. Illuminated mirror frame
This kind of mirrors is called make-up mirrors, as they illuminate the stars as much as possible during makeup application and are often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living room, the illuminated frame has found its place, becoming a popular design solution.
You can fit the item into the bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. To make a product, you will need a wooden frame, lamps, wires, as well as the ability of an electrician.
Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, as conventional ones create a lot of heat.
12. Candles in the interior
Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent decor element.
But using a few candles in the interior is too commonplace. We are talking about a whole composition that will rather fit into the classical style, bringing into it the romance of ancient castles.
Such lighting looks amazing, displayed in several rows and placed on a separate shelf. To heighten the effect, you can hang the support from the ceiling, carefully choosing a safe place - jokes with fire are bad, and dripping wax can be inconvenient. But this is where the shortcomings of such a decor end, because a lot can be forgiven for a spectacular appearance.
