Our 1st tip for creating your statement table is the use of candle light! It’s always a good idea to arrange your candles in clusters, and whats more, by using a decorative candle holder you begin to set a tone for your space and impose a style statement at your dinner table. Not only will this capture the attention of your guests but will also prompt conversation. You can find this Hubsch Set Of Three Gold Hexagon Candlesticks at Trouva. (Image: Sarah Akwisombe)
