Candle Magic

Candles have been used in home settings for centuries. Candles went from being exclusively for tabletop settings to more designer-oriented sconces and multi-candle wall displays.

Scented Candles

Scented candles are just wonderful for decorating your home. Scented candles, especially the ones made rich with scented oils, emit their aromatic fragrance whether lit or not.

Placing scented pillar candles or jar candles in hallways, bathrooms and even kitchens can help freshen the air and eliminate unwanted odors. These types of candles are offered in a myriad of fragrances, sizes and shapes to meet every candle lovers needs.

Other Decorative Candles

There is a multitude of specialty candles and candleholders on the market. Whatever your taste in candles, you can almost be assured that a candle is designed with your decorating tastes in mind.

Candle Do’s and Don’ts

Uses for modern day candles are only restricted by one’s own imagination.

1. If you like grouping your candles, remember to match the scents of all the candles to avoid creating a combined scent that is either too strong or unpleasant.

2. Consider mixing like-scented candles with unscented candles in your grouping to help control the overall strength of the scent.

3. Never use scented candles on a dinner table.

4. Candles on a dining room table should always be smokeless.

5. Burning a scented candle in your bathroom, or “powder” room, will eliminate unpleasant odors.

6. Always burn your candles in a secure, fireproof holder made especially for candles.

7. If the candle holder is an open vessel, like a candle stick, always opt for dripless candles. 8. Don’t place your candles too close to flower arrangements. Candles have been known to wilt or ruin flowers if the flame overheats their petals.

Remember – always practice safe candle burning! Keep it safe and enjoy the magical benefits of decorating your home with candles!
