Turn an Empty Fireplace into a Decor Focal Point with Fireplace Candles
An empty fireplace no longer needs to be an eyesore thanks to this fireplace candles hack. Although they make large candle holders designed to fill a fireplace, you can achieve the same effect by filling a fireplace with candles of different widths and heights. If you don’t use candle holders in the fireplace, it’s best to use large candles for a better sense of scale. Scented candles are another way to add another layer to this hack. Pro tip, when lighting the fireplace candles, start at the back and work your way to the front!
