All You Need to Know About Candle Uses: The Best Guide

Candles have been a staple in homes for centuries and although they seem straightforward – everyone candles differently. Whether it’s to relieve stress, add ambiance, or make your home smell nice, everyone has their own candle practices. This World Candle Month, we wanted to share how you can expand your own candle uses and incorporate candles in a variety of ways.  

Enhance Your Home Ambiance With Different Candle Uses 

Candles offer more than just light. They have the transformative power to impact our mood, add style, and even influence our well-being. Here are some exciting candle uses to inspire you: 

Scent-Scaping 

By adding candles of a similar scent family throughout your home, you create a journey into each space. A relaxing floral-like rose gel candle may be great for your bedroom while a citrus 

may suit your office for focus and attention. 

Decorating 

Candles don’t have to be lit to make an impact. Place tapers throughout your space for a sophisticated look. Opt for tiny tapers or colored ones for added creativity and depth. A bonus is whether lit or unlit, if your candle has a strong throw, you will still smell it.  

Consider your vessel

You can decorate with jar candles by considering your vessel and/or wax color. Create pops of color throughout your home with colored candle vessels or opt for a monochromatic look by purchasing one that is a similar color to each room. Don’t forget, you can also place your jar candle in a decorative holder too. 

Aromatherapy

Scents create memories, but also evoke them. Use fragrance to bring yourself to a calming    place or remember a nostalgic memory. Baked pumpkin pie candle anyone?  

Holiday Fun

As the fall festivities arrive, use candles to celebrate. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different DIY trends for candles. Explore some fall decor ideas and get everyone on board whether you opt for the traditional pumpkin spice and fallen leaves or turn your taper candles into mini ghosts with a little DIY for the kids.
