What is a candle for?

Candles have had an important place in people's lives throughout history. Candles, which were first used only for lighting purposes, have a much wider usage area today. The decorative needs of modern life and different areas of use such as aromatherapy have made candles an indispensable product. Especially quality candle brands and IKEA candle products allow you to create aesthetically stylish and peaceful ambiences. Scented candles are of great interest in home decoration. Various scents such as lavender, vanilla and ocean breeze have both relaxing and invigorating effects. Candles are also used in aromatherapy sessions. It has been scientifically proven that different scents have a positive effect on the mind and body.

Another important function of candles is their use as decorative accessories. For example, on special occasions or romantic dinners, different candle models are indispensable parts of the table setting. Candles in various shapes and colours add sophistication to the space and enrich the ambience. The psychological effects of candles also stand out. Candles, which are a peaceful light source, can be effective in reducing stress and anxiety. The light of a candle burning in a quiet environment can create a much more relaxed and serene state of mind.

Long-lasting and durable candles offer a practical solution in power outages or camping activities in nature. Another benefit of candles is that they can be used as insect repellents. Candles containing natural oils are effective in repelling mosquitoes and insects in open areas. Such products make summer evenings more enjoyable. Different candle types and designs are shaped according to the preferences of the users. Large diameter and tall candles are preferred for large spaces, while more compact and elegant options come to the fore for small and narrow spaces.

How should the candle be stored?

If you want to use your candles for a long time, you should pay attention to the correct storage conditions. Regardless of whether it is a tall candle or a small candle, it should be stored in a cool and dry environment. It should also be protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Candles can be affected by temperature changes; therefore, it is important to keep candles away from extremely hot or cold environments. In particular, candles with natural ingredients can be more sensitive to temperature changes and this can affect the structure and performance of the candles.

When storing candles, you can try storing them in boxes with lids or embossing with lids. This prevents the candles from getting dusty and damaged by external factors. Containers with lids also prevent odours from spreading and contaminating other items. This way, when you want to use your candles, they will be as fresh and clean as the first day. If you wish, you can separate your candles according to category and store them in different boxes according to their type, scent or size.

High humidity can adversely affect the structure of candles. Candles in a humid environment may show a decrease in burning performance and discolouration may occur on their surfaces. A well-ventilated area where the candles are stored can prevent this problem. You can also maintain the humidity balance in the room where you store the candles by using devices such as air humidifiers.

If there are other substances in your environment that emit strong odours, it would be a good idea to keep the candles away from such odours. In this way, the candles will retain their original scent and will be able to emit their original scent when ready for use. Scented candles are particularly sensitive in this regard and it is recommended to store them in an isolated area so that their scents do not mix. You can visit the scented candles category to get more information about scented candles and to examine their varieties.

Storing candles in an upright position is another important factor. There is a risk of bending or twisting, especially if long candles are stored horizontally. In an upright position, the candles support their own weight and retain their shape and aesthetic appearance. Maintaining the shape and structure of the candles ensures that they melt evenly when burning and helps you achieve the desired lighting and decorative effect.

Care should be taken to ensure that there are no flammable materials around the candles. Flammable materials such as paper and fabric should not be kept around the candles during storage. Such materials pose a risk of fire and may adversely affect the performance of the candles. To improve safety and performance, you should store candles in a place away from fire hazards. Another thing to consider is the method of storing old or used candles. If you plan to reuse used candles, it is important to keep the wick lengths short and make sure the burning part is clean. This will ensure a more even and clean burn the next time you use them. Keeping the wick short and clean aims to produce less smoke and soot when relighting the candle.

How to decorate a candle?

Candles can be used as both aesthetic and functional decorative elements. You can make pleasant and original arrangements in your home with candle models and candle colours. Using candles of different heights and colours together will add an aesthetic and dynamic atmosphere to your spaces. Especially block candles are perfect for such decorations. You can provide a pleasant integrity in your living spaces with decorative candles that you choose in harmony with your furniture and other accessories.

You can achieve a more sophisticated look by using candles with various decorative objects. For example, you can create a classic and elegant atmosphere by combining long candles with antique candlesticks. On the other hand, you can create a more modern and relaxing style by using small and colourful small candles in glass jars. With such combinations in a wide range of products, you can add a unique touch to your living spaces.

By grouping candles on decorative trays, you can add visual richness to your dining tables or console tops. By using candles of different sizes and textures together, you can make the space more interesting and attractive. In particular, candles combined with natural materials such as bamboo or wood create a warm and inviting ambience. Scented candles further reinforce this atmosphere and offer both a visual and emotional experience.

Decorative candles displayed in showcases or open shelving systems can be both stylish and functional decoration elements. In particular, candles placed in glass lanterns are protected from the wind and look elegant at the same time. By setting the candles at different heights, you can create an irregular and eye-catching decoration.

You can create a unique and personal decoration by combining your candles with candle holders made of various materials. Candle holders made of different materials such as metal, glass and ceramics increase the aesthetic value of candles. With such combinations you can create a more sophisticated and authentic atmosphere. Especially handmade candle holders add an artistic touch to your decoration and can be integrated into the overall decoration style of your home.

Is the candle cleaned?

In order to use your candles longer and to maintain their aesthetic appearance, you should clean them regularly. Candle cleaning can be done easily by following a few simple steps. Firstly, to remove melted wax stains, allow the residue to cool. You can carefully scrape off the cooled residue with a spatula or similar tool. Wick residues left burnt can also spoil the appearance of the candle over time. Cleaning these residues at regular intervals ensures that the candle has a cleaner and more aesthetic appearance. You can use a sharp tool such as scissors for wick cutting. When you cut the wicks to approximately one centimetre in length, you will see that the candle will burn more evenly and produce less soot.

Stubborn candle stains can often remain on smooth surfaces. To remove such stains, try first wetting the surface with hot water. You can gently rub off any wax residue left on the surface. If the stain still does not come out, wiping the surface with an alcohol cloth can also be an effective method. You should be careful during all these processes and do not damage the surface. It is important to keep the containers in which the candle is kept clean as well as cleaning the candle surface. The residues accumulated in the containers where the candles are used can affect the burning quality of the candle. To clean the containers, when the candle is completely burnt and the container has cooled down, remove any debris. You can use hot soapy water to do this. After thoroughly rinsing and drying the containers, you can safely place your new candles.

If you prefer different candle models, keep in mind that each model may have different cleaning needs. For example, scented candles can often leave oily and sticky residues. You should be extra careful when cleaning such candles and use special cleaning materials. Paying attention to the cleaning of the products you choose from the scented candles collection gives you an advantage in long-term use. The use of natural and chemical materials is also an important issue in candle cleaning processes. By using natural cleaning materials, you will adopt an environmentally friendly approach and you will not damage the structure of your candles.

What should be considered when choosing a candle?

When choosing candles, you should choose products suitable for your intended use. When choosing between different types of candles, the quality and material of the candle are also important. When choosing long candles or small candles, you can evaluate high quality brands and affordable price options. For example, if you want to create a romantic atmosphere for a dinner, scented candles or cylinder candles can be an excellent choice.

The burning time of the candle is also a factor to consider. For a long-lasting event, you should choose candles with a longer burning time. This will eliminate the hassle of constantly lighting new candles for your guests. However, for short-term use, smaller candles with a shorter burning time can also be preferred. When choosing your candles, you should also examine the flavours and oils used. Candles that contain natural oils and do not contain harmful chemicals will be safer for your health and the health of your loved ones.

The overall design and colour of the candles is also an important choice. You can ensure integrity by choosing candle colours that match the decoration style of your home. For example, if you have a minimalist home decoration, candles in plain white or neutral colours can be preferred. For a more colourful and lively decoration, you can create an energetic atmosphere by choosing candles in various colours.

The wick quality of the candle is another important factor to be considered. A quality wick allows the candle to burn more evenly and longer. Wicks that do not smoke while burning and remain stable during combustion offer a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. You can choose IKEA for the best candle brands and varieties and choose from a wide range of products.
