Wall candle holder and battery operated taper candle One of my favorite finishing touches in our living room is this pair of classic candle sconces. ✨ We originally planned to hang them above the fireplace mantel—but on a whim, we tried something unexpected: placing them on the sides instead. It turned out to be a happy little accident. This placement not only highlights the cozy nooks created by the bumped-out fireplace, but also gives the mantel and our original art more breathing room. 🖼️ Every evening at dusk, when the candles pop on (I’m obsessed with these pretty twisty tapers on a timer!), we always pause to appreciate the soft glow in the corners of the room. It’s such a simple detail, but it adds instant character and warmth. 🤍 And the best part? That flickering glow through the windows adds a welcoming touch of coziness from the outside, too—something I know will feel especially inviting as we head into fall and winter. 🍁❄️ Pottery Barn style, timeless style, cozy living room, cottage, everyday home updates, transitional design, modern traditional, layered textures, natural light, inviting spaces, cozy coastal, cottage charm, vintage-inspired decor LTKSeasonal LTKSaleAlert LTKHome
