The benefits of candles and how to use them

There are many reasons to enjoy the benefits of candles yourself and decorate your home with them. Lighting plays an important role in the design of your home. If you make good use of light, you can create a fantastic, relaxed atmosphere.

1. Candlesticks

Candlesticks can give certain spaces a special atmosphere. With this small investment and a little creativity, you can make your own and turn your room into a completely different space.

2. Recycled material as decoration

You can also reuse objects that you still have lying around at home to make a beautiful decorative object. The light of a candle can make a fantastic contribution to this.

• For example, you can use a glass jar. Then fill it with sand, shells or cork. You can even do this with different sized glass jars to make a nice table decoration.
• You can also tie several candles together.
• Another idea is to use glass or glass jars. You then put this upside down on the table, just like in the photo above.

3. Candles on a Wire or String

You can also use glasses and tie a wire or twine around the neck of the candle. For example, you can make a perfect holder for a candle. You can hang them anywhere. They will look fantastic especially in your garden!

4. Tealights

You usually buy these candles in a small aluminum container. They usually last about four hours. Because they do not give very much light, we recommend that you put several tea lights on the table and light them.

5. Long Candles

These are the candles you use for a candlestick. They are perfect if you want to create a vintage decor. For example, you can place them in a glass jar or bottle and decorate them with wooden twigs and twigs.

6. Floating Candles

Floating candles look a bit like tea lights. For example, place them in a bowl of water and you will see that they will float, while they glow. These candles are therefore certainly a perfect table decoration for romantic moments.

7. Blunt Candles

You usually place blunt candles in a bowl, but you can also place them in glass jars with sand or stone. For example, collect some stones, shells and beautifully colored sand and fill the glass jar. This provides some extra decoration.

8. Scented candles

Scented candles provide a nice smell. There are different types of scented candles with different types of scents. For example, think of:

• floral scents
• vanilla
• berries
• cinnamon

Overall, these candles can help you relax your senses. For example, they provide calm and tranquility.
