Relax and Invigorate Your Senses With Beautiful Candles From Spotlight

Candles are an easy way to get a little light and warmth into your home, and can turn a cold and bare room into a cosy one. At Spotlight we have a stunning range of candles for the home, with many shapes, colours, wax types and aromas available for you to choose from!

Whether you have some floral-scented jar candles for your bedroom, some impressive tall tapered candles for your dining table or small tea light candles for your next party, we've got the candles you need right here.

Fill Your Home With Relaxing Scented Candles

While the calming glow of the flickering flame of the candle ultimately promotes relaxation, it's the scent of the candle that has a particular effect on the overall ambience of your home. Scents are designed to evoke different ambiences and vibes as a result of their aromas. If you wish to create a peaceful environment in your bathroom, living room or bedroom, there are a number of scents you can look out for:

• Oceanic fragrances: Lightly scented candles with a refreshing aroma immediately transport you to a seaside escape.
• Citrus fragrances: Refresh your home with a calming and sweet fruity scent.
• Floral fragrances: There are many different types of floral fragrances that can alter the ambience of your space. Jasmine-scented candles bring a soothing ambience while vanilla-scented candles bring a comforting warmth to your space. Both floral fragrances, while different in their scents, aim to create a relaxing space in your home.

You can even get creative by making your own candles with the scent of your choice. Simply check out our candle making project for more tips and ideas.

Candles FAQs

What are the best candles to burn?

When shopping for candles, the best candles are those with greater burn times, providing you with the aroma of your choice for hours on end. But ultimately the best scented candles come down to personal preference. Think about your favourite aromas and the overall ambience you wish to create in your home.

Which candles hold their scent the longest?

How far the scent goes and how strong it is will depend on how well the candle has been made. Candles with stronger scents, such as vanilla or other heavy aromas typically hold their scent the longest. The type of wax also plays a part in how long a candle is able to hold its scent for. Candles with paraffin wax, soy wax and beeswax are great at holding fragrance.

Do soy candles burn better than regular candles?

Regular candles are typically made from paraffin wax which can sometimes contain a number of chemicals and produce more soot than a soy candle which can damage your walls. Soy candles also burn longer than regular paraffin candles, making them a great choice for any home.

How to style candles in your home?

Candles can be used in many ways to add dimension and elegance to your home. Popular places for candles include on the coffee table, dining table, hallway table or above the fireplace.
