Candlescaping is an art that goes beyond mere decoration; it's a thoughtful arrangement of candles that elevates the ambiance and creates a sense of serenity in a well-curated space. To me, every occasion and tabletop is made better with candlelight - whether that be an intimate drinks party with friends, an engagement party or wedding, a romantic meal for two or even a casual family supper. Here is my guide to candlescaping - I hope it inspires you to make every occasion an elevated, atmospheric and unique one.
SETTING THE STAGE
The beauty of candlescaping lies in its effortless ability to provide an array of ambiances whether its for relaxation, warmth and comfort or sophistication. Begin by selecting a variety of candles that resonate with your chosen style - whether that be tonal tapered candles to sit in minimalist interiors or brightly coloured candles more suited to the maximalist.
ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT SPACES
Whether you're embellishing a cosy living room, a romantic dinner table, or a spa-like bathroom, the art of candlescaping can be seamlessly tailored to suit any space. Experiment with different arrangements to discover what works best for each environment.
MINDFUL PLACEMENT
Consider the layout of your space when arranging your candlescape. Place candles strategically to enhance focal points, create a sense of balance, and draw attention to specific areas. Experiment with Candle Flair’s varying heights, sizes and shapes to add depth and dimension to your arrangement. Cluster candles together in cohesive groupings for an abundant look, or line them down the centre of a table or mantlepiece for a more pared back arrangement that works wonderfully when interspersed with bud vases of single stem flowers.
SELECTING APPROPRIATE CANDE HOLDERS
Choosing the right candle holders can make all the difference in a candlescape. Whether you opt for Candle Flair’s elegant brass holders, rustic enamel Tulip holders or something a little more contemporary like our Skandi holders, make sure to choose vessels that complement the overall aesthetic you wish to achieve.
PLAYING WITH CANDLE THEMES
Infuse a touch of personal flair into your candlescaping by exploring different themes. From seasonal or holiday colour combinations to suit every celebration, to tonal arrangements that help to achieve understated elegance, themes can add a layer of creativity and coherence to your candlescape.
