Explore tips, DIYs and guides to get the most out of your candles.
Trim your wick to about 5mm before each burn. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the vessel to prevent tunneling. Keep your candle away from drafts, never burn for more than four hours at a time, and always place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Let lavender bring calm to your evening, citrus brighten your morning, and vanilla make your space feel welcoming. For a cozy, grounded atmosphere, choose sandalwood. A delicate rose candle makes a lovely companion for a quiet, restorative afternoon.
Group candles of different heights on a stone or wooden tray to create a simple centerpiece. Pair them with a small vase of flowers, keeping all decorations well away from the flame. Clean and reuse your finished candle jars as little planters or keepsake holders.
