Revamping your space doesn’t always require an expensive renovation project. Once you know how to make the most out of your scented candles, you can achieve the same goal faster. Here are some tips to help you out:
Creatively Transform Any Space Using The Right Kind Of Scent
It’s common for homeowners to use different furniture and décor pieces to transform their homes. Because they have a specific theme in mind, homeowners would invest in different items just to make their homes feel and look good. But do you know that using the right kind of scented candles can give you the same results?
If you live in an open-plan home, using the right scented candles can draw back the walls and can create different moods depending on where you are in the house. Consider trying out the following ideas:
- For example, if your kitchen is airy, you can use a scented candle that has a herby scent to create an impression that you’re actually cooking something scrumptious.
- If you want to relax on the other side of your house, like in your living area, for example, using scented candles in pomegranate can be an excellent choice. This scent will relax your mind, making you feel as if you’re in another place.
- For your workstation, use scented candles that give off a citrusy scent so you’ll have a clear and focused mind. This scent will smell fresh, allowing you to increase your productivity.
Study The Psychology Of Colours And Use That To Your Advantage
Colours can significantly affect a person’s mood as different hues can trigger different emotions among humans. When choosing scented candles for your home, don’t solely think about how it smells like – consider what colour the candle is.
Take note of the following tips to help you determine which colours should go where:
- If you’re planning to revamp the space in your bedroom, look for scented candles in greys and blues as these colours are relaxing and calming.
- Scented candles in yellow are suitable for playrooms as this colour can be very energizing.
- Red is known to be a colour that increases energy levels so invest in red scented candles and place these in your living area or dining rooms. This colour can get your blood pumping, perfect for spaces where you want to socialize.
- For spaces where you want to unwind, relax, and read a good book, look for scented candles in green. This colour is easy on the eyes as it sits in the middle of the spectrum, making it easy for you to relieve yourself from stress.
Try Layering Up Different Scented Candles
Layering different colours in the house is typical, but do you know that you can do the same with scented candles? Start by using scented candles that will serve as your base layer. Any scented candle with a fruity scent can be a great base layer. Add another set of scented candles that come in a pomegranate scent and then finish the combination with scented candles that smell like incense. This combination can get smokier in the evening, perfect when you’re cozying up with your friends and families in the fireplace.
Use Scented Candles As A Centerpiece In Your Living Room
Scented candles are a staple in almost all living rooms. No matter what your home’s theme and architecture are, you’ll surely find several scented candles that fit the bill. For you to revamp your living room, simply use scented candles as your centerpiece. Simply place scented candles at the center of your coffee table and throw in different ornaments or decors that suit the ambiance of your living room. For a unique centerpiece, decorate your scented candles with stones, rocks, and artificial flowers to create a miniature garden in your living room.
Scented candles are also good alternatives if you don’t have a fireplace in your living room. Similar to the first idea, invest in scented candles and decorate it with different pieces that can represent a fireplace. You’ll be surprised how these scented candles can provide you with a relaxing scent any time of the day!
