All colleges and universities have rules for living in their dorms. It seems there are as many can’t do as can do. No appliances to cook toast or pizzas and no candles. Scensty and infusion reeds do the trick with creating an nice smell in the room but neither does anything to help create some ambiance.
Here is a DIY on creating wax paper candle holders Electronic tea lights nestled in layers of wax paper will make a nice flickering flame on a bedside table or desk.

This wax paper is a very nice idea because it does add a nice natural lighting to the ambience. The wax paper further diffuses the candle lighting and this gives the room a warm lighted look. It really is quite elegant and romantic. That would be a nice touch on valentine’s day while you have a romantic dinner with your significant other.
I have seen this style of decorations used before in at least one movie which depicted a wedding scene. It is really a nice form of candle lighting. I wish they would use this type of lighting in more restaurants, rather than the bright harsh lights that I too often find myself annoyed by when I am dining out. It’s so simple yet effective and beautiful.
