House Proud: Let it glow

Light a penny, dinner or pillar candle and bask in the reflected warmth

Image 0 of 11

Rural electrification did much to modernise Ireland, but sometimes you need to kill the lights and travel back to a time of candlelight, a flattering way to create a romantic and cosy atmosphere whatever the weather. At the flick of a switch you can shut out all surrounding visual noise. Mirrors such as this Dorset style, €199, also help refract candlelight, and glass candlesticks such as these Mystic, €13, and cut glass candlestick, €27, help set the scene. All, including the iris-pressed glass vase, €20, are from the new 2017 collection at Marks and Spencer (marksandspencer.ie) home stores now.
