Maybe skip the candlesticks on the dining table, and try to rethink.... or maybe add more and more, maybe nine candlesticks of varying heights and styles to create an interesting centerpiece.
Don't worry about the guests not being able to see each , most centerpeieces leave the premises during dinner in order to make room for the delicacies and the table needs to look fantastic mostly when its not being used, so be wild. Look around your home and play around with an arrangement of vases , orchids, sculptures or bowls. Keep in mind ODD #'s, they work so much better in groups: 1, 3,5,7,9. This also pertains to end tables , one item , three items, five items, small groups of three can rule as one, this will be fun I promise.
And don't forget to vary the heights...On an end table, consider the lamp (the tall), a vase (the medium), a picture frame (the short). This also is true for cocktail tables, maybe 15-24" for the tall, 8-12" for the medium and 3-6" for the low, even lower as a fantastic book, you love to display. Keep things diverse, a variety of textures, and finishes: shiny, flat ,smooth, textured. Variety is the spice of life and your table.
