Candles

Candles bring scent, warmth and soft light to a room in one small object. This collection includes round pillar candles in 2 and 3 inch widths, dimensional candles shaped like feathers, teardrops, flowers and pumpkins, and flameless candles with timers. Scents include creamy vanilla, wild lavender and sage, rose and almond, with unscented options too, many in soy wax or beeswax.

Tip: burn a new candle until the wax melts to the edge to prevent tunneling. Pair them with candle holders, trays or vases.

How to choose and burn candles

Choose by room. Fresh scents such as lavender and sage suit bathrooms and bedrooms, while warm vanilla, almond and rose feel cozy in living spaces. In a dining room, unscented candles keep the focus on the food.

  • First burn: let the wax pool reach the edge, usually about one hour per inch of width.
  • Trim the wick: keep it near 1/4 inch before each burn to reduce smoke and soot.
  • Limit burn time: extinguish after about four hours and let the candle cool before relighting.
  • Use a holder: set pillars on a plate, tray or candle holder that catches drips.
  • Placement: keep flames away from drafts, curtains, pets and children.

Flameless candles with timers are a practical choice for mantels, high shelves, rentals and homes where open flame is a concern. Dimensional candles shaped like feathers or flowers often look best as decor rather than burned.

Group candles in odd numbers and vary the heights for a relaxed arrangement. A coffee table tray with three pillars is a reliable look; our coffee table styling article shows how. Store candles away from heat and sun. Browse candle holders to complete the setting.
