Decorating with Candles

It's sheer candle-lerium!

Creating a candlescape is one of the easiest ways to add color and fragrance to the room. Fill a tray with an assortment of candles, pillars, votives and reed diffusers in either your single favorite scent or a combination of two or three. Toss in some organic elements like rattan balls, dried starfish, even some fresh fruits like lemons or limes for extra color. A great addition to the dining table, console or side table!

Candle Care & Safety Tips

Candle Care:

To prevent uneven burning or dripping, keep wicks trimmed to at least 1/4 inch, and keep candles away from air vents, fans, and drafts.

Do not burn candles for more than one hour per inch of their diameter. For example, never burn a 3-inch-wide candle for more than three consecutive hours.

All candles should be discarded when burned down to a 1/2-inch height.

Candles should not be kept in direct sunlight, as this will fade colors and cause the wax to soften or lose its shape.

To easily remove votive candles from their holders, place them (cooled) in the freezer. When frozen, the wax will pop out. Or, simply put a teaspoon of water in their holders before lighting.

Candle Safety:

Keep lit candles away from bedding, shower curtains, and other flammable materials and accessories.

Never leave candles unattended or where children or pets could be injured.

Always extinguish candles before going to bed.

Use flat, non-flammable, heat-resistant candleholders that are big enough to protect surfaces.

Extinguish candles if their flames are higher than 1 1/2 inches.

When candlescaping, keep candles at least 1 inch away from each other so shorter candles will not melt into the sides of taller candles.

Never burn candles without candleholders.

Always clean residue wax from candleholders.
