Scented jar candles and your home
October 27, 2007
If you want to spice up your home, there is no better way than with scented jar candle. Scented jar candles are in ideal solution for any home, since these candles are covered up when not in use. This means that unlike figurines and other small decorating items, scented jar candles won’t be just another item that you will eventually have to dust and clean as it gathers grime. Scented jar candles will gently infuse your home with warmth, color, and scents, all while not contributing to the clutter in your home.
If you want to decorate your home, but wish to place a candle somewhere near water or clutter, scented jar candles are ideal because the glass will protect the wax from damage and from other objects. Glass candles may also be slightly safer, since the heat is contained in the glass.
Scented jar candles look fabulous on mantel pieces, coffee tables, side tables, and dining room tables. You can select from squares or round glass jars, from large scented jar candles to small ones. When selecting the right glass jar candles, consider sent first. Select a scent that compliments your home. For example, if you already have incense or other scented products that smell of fresh lemon, look for a candle that has a crisp, clean scent.
If you have no scented products in your home, you’re free to select the candle that smells best to you. One advantage of scented jar candles is that they can take care of those “invisible” scents that most homeowners do not even realize exist in their homes. Most homeowners become so used to the odors in their homes that they don’t even realize that their homes are stinky. Guests certainly notice, though. If you want to avoid embarrassment, a few scented jar candles placed around your home will help take care of any odors and will create a pleasant atmosphere in your home.
The second thing which to consider when buying scented jar candles is color. Most scented jar candles come in clear glass, but you can also buy jar candles contained in colored glass. This can create a stunning “stained glass” effect when the candle is lit. Look for scented jar candles that have either wax or glass in a color that compliments the colors of your home. If you have warm colors, opt for orange, red, brown, and earthy tones. If you have cool colors in your home, try blue and green shades. Of course, you can select classic white or black candles which will complement any color scheme at all.
Once you have your candles at home, arrange them so that they create the best scent. Of course, you want to keep them well out of reach of any pets or children. Beyond that, however, you should be considering where the candles will create the most scent. You may wish to place the candles at about face level. For example, you may wish to place your candles on mantel pieces or on taller bookshelves — provided there are no books nearby that can catch on fire — in order to place the scent at about the same level as your nose when you are standing. You may also wish to place a few candles down lower — for example, on coffee tables — so that the scents can rise up towards your nose.
