Martha Stewart’s Secret to Scaling Holiday Magic: Why Tiny Accents Outshine the Grandest Trees (and You Can Get Her Look for under $35)

Martha Stewart.

Even the smallest of homes can embrace the magic of Christmas. While a seven-foot Christmas tree might not be on the cards, it's worth considering that a dose of creativity will transform even the tightest of spaces into festive statements.

From lush garlands draped on mantels to wintry wreaths hung on front doors, Christmas decor ideas can be quite dramatic, but even the smallest arrangements can be thoughtful and festive. Simply adding a candlestick to a bookshelf can make a room feel cozy, or a red and green tablecloth can transform a dining room just in time for the big day.

I've been on the lookout for easy festive touches to transform my small home, so when I came across Martha Stewart by Luminara Glitter Holiday Tree Candles, you can imagine my joy. Perfect for filling a shelf, flanking a mantel, or crowning a dining table, these charming candles will transform any space, no matter its size.

It may be slightly too late to enjoy their beauty this year, but I've added it to my cart for Christmas 2026, because I know a candle such as this will look just as good in a year from now.

The beauty of Martha's charming Christmas tree candles is their versatility. Whether you're uplifting your Christmas table just in time for the big feast, or you're uplifting your mantel with a dose of warmth, they couldn't be easier to style (or use).

For a truly Martha Stewart-inspired dining table, place the pair at the center of your table, paired with a wintry floral arrangement such as a poinsettia or fresh eucalyptus. Finish off the look with a festive table runner which dons a fun print or colorway, bringing the arrangement to life.

Even the smallest living rooms will welcome these festive treasures. Place them in a pair on a stack of books on your coffee table or bookshelves, or scatter them around your space for small doses of holiday charm.

Martha's simple yet festive Christmas tree candles are perfect for all sizes of spaces. Use them wherever you see fit and watch your home glow all season long.
