Create a cosy ambience with candles

Candles are a lovely way to set a warm, lovely and welcoming ambience to your home. There is almost nothing better than taking a relaxing bubble bath with essential oils and a couple of candles. Or how about a cold, dark winter evening curled up inside with a fuzzy blanket, a good book and a few candles? Or perhaps a late summer evening in the backyard with friends and family and a couple of beautiful candles? There is something so soothing, calming and inviting about candles. Who doesn’t love candles?

At vidaXL, we offer a wide range of candles in various shapes, sizes and colours. We are sure there is a candle that suits your home and needs as well. So, get comfy with your favourite hot beverage and explore our wide collection of candles on this page.

A candle for every room

The moment you light a candle, something magical happens. There is just that little something special that is being added to the room. Especially if you choose a scented candle that releases the most heavenly fragrance while burning.

When it comes to candles, there are so many ways to style them, and at vidaXL, we believe there is a candle for every room in your home. Whether you are looking for a scented candle for your bathroom while you enjoy a relaxing bubble bath at the end of a long day or you need a cosy candle for your coffee table in the living room.

With our stunning collection of candles, we know there will be a candle for every room. We even have candles that you can use outside. Just imagine sitting on your porch with your evening tea and chatting with your spouse while a candle is burning. What a lovely way to end the day, right? Scented candles are absolutely fabulous in the bathroom to create both a pleasant fragrance and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere any time of the day. You can even combine a couple of scented candles to create your own unique fragrance. Only your imagination is the limit.

When styling candles, you can also mix your bigger candles with tealights. Tealights are especially gorgeous when they are scattered on a decoration tray amongst pillar candles and jars. Trust us, this will create the cosiest vibe you can imagine.

Candles and aromatherapy

Is there anything better than the combination of candles and a heavenly fragrance? We think not. Whether you choose to buy a scented candle or you choose to turn on your diffuser with essential oils while lighting a candle or two, we know you will find it soothing. Simply take a couple of slow, deep breaths and feel a sense of peace wash over you. This is the perfect way to unwind after a long day.

The combination of candles and aromatherapy can truly bring life and a peaceful ambience to your home. Depending on the scents you choose, you can create just the right mood. For instance, you may wish to choose something more energising and uplifting in the morning, such as citrus oils and peppermint, while in the evening, you may wish to opt for calming fragrances, such as lavender and chamomile. 

Candles for every occasion 

As mentioned, there is a candle for every room and occasion. Candles are wonderful for everyday relaxation and for adding warmth and sophistication to your home décor. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of candles on the market today.

• LED candles. This is the safest option on the market, and it is particularly a great option if you have kids in the household. With LED candles, you never have to worry about leaving candles alone, and no one can get burned by these types of candles. LED candles have come a long way in recent years, and today they even have flickering flames, so you’ll have the feeling you are burning real candles.

• Scented candles. We have already talked about how much we love scented candles here at vidaXL. They are just lovely! You can get scented candles with all sorts of scents and in various sizes and shapes. Honestly, a scented candle is an absolute must in the bathroom when taking an evening bath or shower. It will melt your worries away in no time.

• Chandelier candles. These slender, tall candles will instantly add elegance to any room. They are stunning on any dinner table, window or on top of a piano. 

• Block candles. Block candles create that cosy, warm atmosphere you are looking for during the cold, dark winter months. Place them on top of decoration trays to create an extra relaxing ambience.

• Tealight candles. Tealight candles are a must in every household. As mentioned earlier, these candles are stunning when placed on a tray or in a jar.

With so many options to choose from, we are sure there is the perfect candle for you too. Get creative and have fun with how you style and display them. 

Turn off the light and let your candles shine brightly 

Are you looking to create the ultimate romantic atmosphere? Naturally, candles need to be a part of any romantic setup. But if you want to go all in, we recommend turning off the lights to allow your candles to shine even brighter. This will instantly create a romantic vibe. It’s also perfect for movie nights - simply dim or turn off the lights and add the glow of a candle or two. You can even do it at elegant dinner parties. There is just something calming and romantic when dimming or turning off the lights and only having the glow from candles.

Nighttime candle rituals 

Do you have a nighttime routine? Whether you already have a nighttime routine or not, we have some great tips to share with you. Nighttime rituals are a wonderful way to unwind after a long day, and they will help you disconnect and simply allow the stress and worries of the day to float away. If you have had a long, stressful day, you need time to wind down before drifting off to dreamland. This is where a nighttime routine will be your new best friend. Here’s how you can enjoy a relaxing nighttime routine with candles:

• Evening skincare routine. If you don’t already have an evening skincare routine, we suggest you create one. Even if it’s just a two-step skincare routine. Light a couple of candles in your bathroom while you take excellent care of your skin. Give yourself a little massage with your fingers while taking deep, nourishing breaths. You may even wish to put on some calming classical music for the ultimate relaxing feeling.

• Switch off electronics. If possible, try turning off your TV and phone an hour before bed. Instead, read a book, put on some soothing music and light a couple of candles. Or maybe even do a few stretches. This will help your mind and body get ready for sleep.

• Make your favourite cup of hot beverage. Treat yourself to a lovely herbal tea, a hot chocolate or a warm cup of milk with honey and cinnamon and light a few candles. If you feel called to it, you can even journal a little bit to process the day.

No matter which evening routine you create for yourself, candles will add an extra element of relaxation and peace.

Create a warm atmosphere with candles

When it comes to decorating your home, you want to create a warm, inviting home where you love spending time. Coming home should feel good. Whether you are decorating the bathroom, living room or kitchen, you should focus on creating an atmosphere that feels like home to you. At vidaXL, we think candles are a fantastic way to add warmth to any room, and with so many candles to choose from, you can easily choose one that reflects your personality and style. And your guests will love being greeted by twinkling candles when entering your home. 

To create an extra warm and cosy atmosphere, we recommend you get some blankets and cushions as well. You may also wish to get a few plants when decorating your home. Plants are another easy way to instantly create a welcoming, warm vibe in any home. You can also think about the colours you choose for your home. 

If you are looking to create a relaxing, soothing atmosphere, natural, earthy colours are the way to go. Colours such as beige and dark green will add calming and grounding vibes to your home. If, on the other hand, you wish to create a more lively atmosphere, you can opt for candles in brighter colours.

We are sure that no matter how you choose to display and style your candles, they will look fantastic and add an element of tranquillity and peace to your home.
