Unique Spots to Display Decorative Candles
1. Bathroom Bliss
Transform your bathroom into a serene, spa-like retreat by adding decorative candles to unexpected areas. Placing candles near your bathtub or on a countertop creates a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere for unwinding after a long day. Use candles with calming scents, like lavender or chamomile, to enhance the soothing ambience further. Be sure your candles are situated on heat-resistant surfaces and away from any moisture to ensure safety and longevity.
2. Stairway Showcase
Utilise the often-overlooked surfaces along your stairways to display decorative candles. Arrange candles of varying sizes and heights on small shelves or stair landings to create an elegant, welcoming ambience as you move from one level to the next. Select matching or complementary candle designs to create a cohesive theme that ties your stairway décor together. Always be mindful of potential tripping hazards and make sure your candles are placed well out of the way of foot traffic.
3. Bedside Beauties
Enhance your bedroom décor by adding decorative candles to your bedside table or nightstand. Not only can candles provide soft, ambient lighting perfect for winding down in the evening, but they also offer a personal touch to your sleeping sanctuary. Choose soothing and relaxing fragrances that promote restful sleep, such as vanilla, jasmine, or sandalwood. Remember to always extinguish your candles before going to sleep to ensure a safe and secure environment.
4. Home Office Haven
Adding decorative candles to your home office space promotes a calming and focused atmosphere. When selecting candles for your office, opt for scents that boost concentration and productivity, like eucalyptus, peppermint, or lemongrass. Place your candles in unexpected yet accessible spots, such as on a bookshelf, windowsill, or next to your computer monitor. Remember to take breaks and admire the flickering flames as a form of brief visual relaxation during your workday
5. Underutilised Nooks and Crannies
Transform overlooked areas in your home, such as empty corners or small alcoves, into alluring focal points by incorporating decorative candles. Display candles of different sizes and shapes on floating shelves or tiered platforms to create an eye-catching arrangement that captivates your guests. This unexpected display not only adds visual interest but also illuminates dim areas of your home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
6. Kitchen Ambiance
While it may seem unconventional, the kitchen can also benefit from the beauty and charm of decorative candles. Display them on windowsills, open shelving, or along countertops to provide subtle, ambient lighting in your culinary space. Opt for food-inspired fragrances, like citrus, herbs, or baking scents, to complement and enhance the overall kitchen ambience. Always make sure to keep candles away from cooking areas and at a safe distance from flammable materials.
7. Outdoor Oasis
Expand your living space by incorporating decorative candles in outdoor areas, such as patios, decks, or balconies. Select weather-resistant candle designs, along with protective lanterns or votives for added durability and stability. Arrange your candles in clusters on outdoor tables or hang them from rafters or tree branches to create an enchanting, illuminating display. Candles placed outside create a warm and magical atmosphere for your outdoor gatherings or quiet moments of relaxation and reflection.
Bonus Tip: Floating Centerpieces
For an unexpected touch of luxury and whimsy, add decorative candles to your indoor or outdoor water features. Floating candles can be used in garden ponds, fountains, or even small tabletop water displays. Choose buoyant candles that are designed for floating or smoothened, flat-bottomed candles that can rest atop the water's surface. This enchanting display will provide an unforgettable visual delight for both you and your guests.
