Styling your living room can feel like a big task, but with the right approach, it can be simple and practical. At Home Haven, we believe candles can add both warmth and personality to any space.
2021 study conducted by a wellness institute (name anonymized for privacy) explored the psychological effects of fragrance candles on mental well-being. The objective was to determine whether using specific scents in home environments could help alleviate stress, anxiety, and improve mood.
Participants:
The study involved 100 participants who were experiencing mild to moderate stress and anxiety, working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were divided into two groups: one group was given fragrance candles to use daily, while the control group was not exposed to any scent-based intervention.
Objective:
The aim was to measure whether regular use of fragrance candles could improve mental peace, reduce stress levels, and enhance mood during stressful periods.
Top 5 tips to help you style your living room using Home Haven candles
1. Create a Central Display
One way to style your living room is by setting up a central candle display. Place a group of Home Haven candles on your coffee table or mantel. Use candles of different sizes for a balanced look. If you like a straightforward setup, three to five candles placed together can work well.
2. Use Candles as Lighting
Candles are not just decorative; they can be functional, too. In the evening, candles can replace bright lights to create a more relaxed setting. Try placing Home Heaven candles in areas where you spend time unwinding, like near your sofa or on a side table. Candles are easy to move around, so you can adjust the light in your room as needed.
3. Fill Empty Spaces
It’s easy to forget about small, unused spaces in a living room. Candles can help fill these spots without cluttering the room. For example, you could place a tall candle in the corner of the room or on a shelf that feels empty. This adds depth to the room without making it look busy.
4. Match Scents with Purpose
Candles can influence how a room feels, not just in how it looks but also in how it smells. Choose scents that fit the purpose of your living room. If you use your living room to relax after a long day, go for calming scents like lavender or chamomile. If it’s a space where you entertain guests, fresh scents like citrus or herbs may work better. At Home Heaven, we offer a range of scents to suit different needs.
5. Rotate Candles for the Season
To keep your living room looking fresh throughout the year, change your candle display as the seasons change. You might prefer lighter colors and fresh scents in the warmer months, and deeper colors with woodsy or spicy scents during colder months. By rotating your candles, you can refresh your space without making big changes.
6. Keep It Simple
You don’t need to go overboard with candles to make a difference. Even one or two candles can bring a sense of calm and comfort to your living room. A simple arrangement of candles, paired with your existing decor, can help tie the room together without overwhelming it.
Conclusion
Styling your living room with Home Heaven candles is easy and adaptable. You don’t need to do a lot to make a noticeable change. Whether you’re adding candles for a touch of light, filling empty spaces, or matching scents to your living room’s purpose, our candles can help you create a space that feels comfortable and inviting.
