Winter is here which means it’s time to transform our homes into cosy nests that will keep us warm throughout the season. Transform your interiors by adding a little ambience, courtesy of a beautiful winter candle. Here we share 10 of the best winter candles to illuminate your home with.
While blasting your home heating, layering with cosy throws and adding a few more plush pillows to your sofa can all help to ward off the winter chill, the simple act of lighting a scented candle can also work wonders for cosying up your home during the cooler months.
The flicker of the flame and warm ambient light of a winter candle will quickly turn your home into an inviting haven from the cold, while also making sure your home smells amazing.
Use your candles to bring some warmth and depth to your living spaces, like this minimalist home and office in New Zealand.
Similar to how your appetite changes from season to season, the scents you are instinctively drawn to are likely to shift. Naturally, we opt for fresh, floral, fruity or nature-inspired scents in summer and comforting spicy, woody, sweet or musky scents in winter.
Fragrance has the unique ability to set the mood in subtle yet impactful way, and warming fragrances are perfect for the colder season. In winter, people naturally tend to prefer more complex, woody and oriental blends.”
Here we round up a range of scented candles perfect for creating a cosy vibe at home this winter.
