Just looking at the flame of the candle makes me feel soothed.
In Europe and the United States, candles are an everyday item. It is indispensable for decorating the interior stylishly.
A candle that brings relaxation and abundance.
In addition to creating special days such as Christmas and birthdays, why not incorporate it into your daily life?
Candle types and how to choose
For candles, in addition to simple candles that only light the fire,
There are various types of candles, such as aroma candles that let you enjoy the scent and LED candles that light up with electric light.
Unscented candles for dining table where you want to enjoy cooking, aroma candles for relaxing bedroom,
For homes with small children and pets, such as LED candles,
I want to use it properly depending on the lifestyle and the scene.
In addition, the quality and functions vary depending on the materials and manufacturing methods. Be careful when choosing candles.
The first thing to watch out for is the soot that comes out when you light a fire.
All of a sudden the walls are black! Let's choose something that doesn't make soot so that you don't have to worry about it.
It is said that soot is less likely to occur if natural materials are used instead of paraffin.
Liquid dripping and wax dripping are also checkpoints.
If you choose a candle that doesn't drip, you'll be able to burn it all the way through and it won't stain your candle holder.
The photo above is a "Classic Candle" from Danish candle maker
ester & erik .
It emits no soot and emits a stable, fluctuating flame.
The wax evaporates without dripping, and the fire is automatically extinguished when the end is near, so safety is also taken into consideration.
Light the candles in the long autumn nights
As the saying goes, “Autumn nights are long,” in Japan, the hours of daylight are the shortest of the four seasons after the autumnal equinox.
In autumn, when you feel a little sentimental, read under the gently flickering candle flame,
I would like to spend a relaxing time drinking warm drinks such as mulled wine.
With a candle coordination with a classical atmosphere like the photo,
It would be nice to light up the long autumn nights slightly brightly.
Different shapes and colors of candles
The difference in texture between the candle stand and the cloche, and the difference in the height of the decoration position give the space a sense of rhythm.
The red-colored nuts that make you feel the season tighten the overall color.
French style candles
In France, candles are ubiquitous in everyday life.
Arrange them on the mantelpiece for indirect lighting, or put them on the cupboard to accent the interior.
Regardless of age or gender, lighting aroma candles in the bath is a different culture from Japan.
Also, the French place a lot of importance on meal times that they enjoy with their loved ones.
They didn't like to finish their meals casually, so they quickly put a runner on the table and decorated flowers
Just light a candle and it will turn into a wonderful hospitality space.
If you use candles like the French do, you will be able to spend your everyday life in an elegant way.
decorate corners effectively
I bought my favorite candle,
Have you ever felt like it doesn't match your current interior and has it stuck in a cupboard?
Even if it's just a single candle, if you put it in one corner of the room effectively, it will look great in any interior!
The photo shows a houseplant with a mimosa-colored doily and two kinds of ornaments.
Just by adding a single candle here, the space will be dignified and tightened.
The bowl and candle are unified in dark color.
The glass candle holder creates a sense of openness and creates an elegant atmosphere.
Decorate several candles together in similar colors,
By subtly linking the colors of the flowers in the vase and the colors of the candles,
You can easily create sophisticated corners.
LED candles to brighten up your dining table
A candle that brightens up your table setting.
Choose one that doesn't give off soot or a strong scent so that it doesn't interfere with your meal.
If you are hesitant to use real fire, LED candles are the way to go.
In the photo, we use candles from the LED candle brand "
LUMINARA ".
Using the technology patented by Disney, which operates the Haunted Mansion, it reproduces the natural flickering of flames.
The surface is coated with the wax used in real candles, giving it a realistic texture.
The candles arranged in a purple gradation are linked with the color of the flowers.
The yellow of the vase and the light blue of the mat are used as accent colors for a refreshing and elegant coordination.
Incorporating candles into your daily routine is surprisingly easy.
Light a candle at the end of the day and give your life a little boost.
