What are the best places to place a
candle ?

Candles are more than just sources of light; they are decorative elements that can transform the atmosphere of a room into a haven of peace and serenity. Their soft glow and delicate fragrance create a warm atmosphere, conducive to relaxation and well-being.
However, it is important to know how to place candles properly, for safety reasons as well as to optimise their decorative effect. With UNAVELA, discover the most appropriate places to place your candles!

Rooms in the house that are ideal for candles

Candles have the power to create a warm, relaxing atmosphere in any room of the house. Whether you’re enjoying a convivial meal in the dining room, creating a haven of peace in your bedroom or transforming your bathroom into a veritable spa, candles will be your perfect allies.

The living room :

The living room is the perfect place to relax after a long day and enjoy the soft light of candles. Arrange candles of different shapes and sizes on your coffee table, combining them with elegant candle holders or candle jars for a touch of refinement.
If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace, don’t hesitate to place a few candles on the mantel. The dancing glow of the flames will reflect off the walls and create the perfect atmosphere for winter evenings.
Finally, don’t forget the shelves! Candles can also be used to decorate them with elegance. Opt for arrangements in groups of two or three, varying sizes and styles for a harmonious visual effect.

Dining room :

Candles are also perfect for creating a warm, elegant atmosphere in the dining room. They’re ideal for meals with family and friends. Use them as table centrepieces for a refined decoration. Combine candles of different heights and colours with flowers or decorative accessories to create an elegant, personalised arrangement. For a more subdued and romantic atmosphere, place candles on the sideboards. The soft light from the candles will create an intimate atmosphere conducive to conversation.

Bedroom :

The bedroom is the perfect place to create a relaxing, sleep-inducing atmosphere with candles. The Sieste à Deux candle, with its notes of almond, vanilla, orange blossom, suede and musk, is the perfect choice to transport you to a world of relaxation and serenity. Place one or two candles on your bedside tables to enjoy their soft glow before you fall asleep. Choose lavender, camomile or vanilla scented candles to help you fall asleep and enjoy a peaceful sleep. You can also add a fragrant touch to your bedroom by placing scented candles on your dresser. Choose relaxing fragrances like those mentioned above to create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Finally, for a soft, natural light, place candles near your window. The light from the candles will diffuse into the room and create a soothing atmosphere.

Safety precautions to be observed

To make the most of the soft light and pleasant scents of candles, it’s essential to follow a few simple safety rules. Here are the 7 rules to follow:
  1. Never leave a candle unattended – that’s the absolute golden rule. Always extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.
  2. Avoid placing candles near draughts, curtains or any other flammable object. A flickering flame could cause accidents.
  3. Choose sturdy candle-holders or candle-holders made of glass or ceramic to withstand the heat better. They will prevent the candle from tipping over.
  4. Always extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to sleep. Don’t rely on their small flame – a forgotten candle can cause a fire.
  5. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Lit candles and hot wax are dangerous for small children. Keep them out of reach when not in use.
  6. Do not group too many candles together in one place. This could cause overheating and increase the risk of fire.
  7. Ventilate the room after two hours of burning. Candles consume oxygen and can release harmful particles.
Candles are the perfect decorative element for creating a warm, relaxing and elegant atmosphere in any room of the house. Whether in the living room, dining room, bedroom or bathroom, candles add a touch of serenity and well-being. However, it’s important to place them properly for safety reasons and to maximise their decorative effect. By following our advice, you can make the most of your candles while creating a harmonious and safe atmosphere in your home.
