Tips for using decorative candles in your interior
Decorative candles aren't just atmospheric; they're also a stylish addition to your interior. They bring warmth, softness, and character to any room—whether they're lit or simply displayed as a focal point on the table. These tips will help you get the most out of your decorative candles:
1. Combine different shapes and heights
Play with candles in different sizes, shapes, and heights. For example, place a heart-shaped candle next to a tall candlestick or combine several bears or figures in a group. This creates a playful and balanced effect.
2. Choose candles that match the season or theme
For Valentine's Day, choose romantic candles with hearts, swans, or love figures. Warm hues and natural shapes are popular in autumn. Let your candle decorations evolve with the seasons for a festive atmosphere all year round.
3. Use coasters or candle holders
Protect your furniture from heat or wax residue by always placing decorative candles on a heat-resistant coaster or tray. This also looks extra neat and decorative.
4. Combine with other accessories
Place candles alongside flowers, small vases, photo frames, or wooden accents on a tray or coffee table. This creates a harmonious whole and adds a personal touch to your interior.
5. Burn them consciously – or not at all
Many decorative candles are so beautiful that you'd rather not burn them. Use them purely as decoration. Still want a romantic glow? Burn them briefly and at a safe distance from other decorations.
6. Pay attention to smell and color
Scented candles can add an extra dimension to your space, but choose scents that suit the room and the occasion. Also consider the color of the candles: soft hues create a sense of calm, while bright colors make a statement.
7. Always keep safety first
Never leave candles burning unattended. Ensure there's sufficient distance from curtains, plants, or other flammable materials. Extra caution is especially important with decorative candles with protruding shapes.
Sustainability and production
All our beautiful candles are handmade and consist of one of the most sustainable ingredients, soy wax.
What are soy wax candles?
Soy wax candles are made from soybean oil, a renewable plant-based resource. Unlike traditional paraffin candles, which are often made from petroleum, soy wax candles offer a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.
Benefits of soy wax candles
1. Sustainable
Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, a plant that grows quickly and efficiently. Soybean production requires less energy compared to petroleum extraction, resulting in a smaller ecological footprint. This makes soy wax candles a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
2. Biodegradable
Unlike paraffin, which isn't biodegradable, soy wax candles are completely biodegradable. This means they don't harm the environment when disposed of. This makes soy wax candles a more environmentally responsible choice.
3. Better air quality
Soy wax candles burn cleaner than paraffin candles, meaning they release less soot and harmful substances into the air. This is especially important for people with allergies or respiratory problems. The clean combustion of soy wax contributes to a healthier environment in your home.
4. Longer burning time
Soy wax candles typically burn longer than traditional candles. This means you can enjoy their scent and ambiance for longer without having to replace them often.
Soy wax candles and the environmental impact
1. Reduction of petroleum use
By switching from paraffin to soy wax, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, the extraction of which can cause more ecological damage. Using a renewable resource like soy helps reduce the ecological impact.
2. Ethical production
Many soy wax candle manufacturers emphasize ethical production practices. They source soy from farms that use sustainable farming techniques. This not only supports the environment but also local communities and farmers.
3. Transport
Soy wax candles are often produced near the soybean harvesting regions, reducing transportation costs and impact. This helps reduce the carbon emissions associated with transporting products over long distances.
