Using floating candles in your home

Floating candles can make such an impact on your home. Use as a beautiful centrepiece to your table or dot them around your home on window sills and tables. Water is a beautiful part of nature and used to create a relaxed feeling. Scented floating candles can enhance this relaxed vibe and create a wonderful ambience in your home or business.

Floating candle displays

Floating candles can be displayed in bowls or dishes. Large, deep bowls can be filled with water or coloured liquid to create an amazing feature with the floating candles on the top. Shallow dishes can be used for side tables to show off 2 or 3 floating candles. Different coloured candles can be used for maximum wow effect, or contrasting colours to your home décor to tie in with a theme. Try using some flower petals in the bowls with the floating candles for a pretty, feminine feel to your display.

Safety with floating candles

Obviously any candles bring about dangers. Lighting floating candles needs to be done safely and the candles need to be kept out of reach from children. Make sure pets cannot bump into the lit displays and potentially knock them over. Always make sure floating candles are lit in well ventilated areas to allow the air to circulate. Never leave lit floating candles unattended. Although logic would imply that candles in water will be safe, any lit candles need to be looked after as they are still fire hazards.

Purchasing floating candles

Buying floating candles as a present will appeal to any aged person. By purchasing the candles and a display bowl, you will have a beautiful present for someone you love. Try different scented floating candles to allow the recipient to create different moods at home.
