5 Steps to Creating Your Perfect Ambiance

5 Steps to Creating Your Perfect Ambiance

Creating the perfect atmosphere in your home has never been easier, with our custom bespoke candles you can choose your colour and scent to match your home.

1. Define Your Desired Atmosphere:

Before choosing candles, determine the mood or ambiance you want to create. Are you aiming for a cosy and intimate setting, a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere, or perhaps a calming and tranquil space? Knowing your desired ambiance will guide your choices in terms of candle scents, colours, and types.

2. Choose the Right Scents:

  • Match Scents to the Mood: Different scents evoke different emotions. For a relaxing atmosphere, consider lavender or chamomile. Citrus scents like lemon or orange can create an energizing ambiance.
  • Layer Scents: If you have multiple candles, consider layering scents to create a more complex and unique olfactory experience.

3. Select Appropriate Candle Types:

  • Pillar candles for Elegance: Pillar candles can add a touch of elegance and work well as standalone décor.
  • Tealights for Versatility: Tealights are versatile and can be placed in small spaces, floated in water, or used in candle holders.
  • Jar Candles for Longevity: Jar candles are great for longer burn times and maintaining a consistent fragrance.

4. Strategic Placement:

  • Centrepieces: Place candles in the centre of a dining or coffee table to anchor the space.
  • Grouping: Group candles of varying heights and sizes for a visually appealing display.
  • Aromatherapy Corners: Create dedicated corners with candles for specific purposes, such as relaxation or focus.

5. Consider Lighting and Accessories:

  • Soft Lighting for Ambiance: Opt for softer, warm-coloured bulbs or natural light sources to complement the candlelight.
  • Reflective Surfaces: Place candles near reflective surfaces like mirrors to amplify the glow and create a sense of spaciousness.
  • Complement with Accessories: Integrate accessories like candle holders, decorative trays, or even seasonal elements to enhance the overall aesthetic.

Bonus Tip: Safety First!

  • Never Leave Unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to sleep.
  • Never place near flammable objects or furnishings.
  • Do not leave burning for more than 4 hours.
  • Do not let the candle burn empty, always extinguish with more than a cm of wax at the bottom of the candle.
  • Always ensure the wick is trimmed between burns.
