Candles may be associated with romantic dinners, but there is so much more to these intricate wax creations than immediately comes to mind. Whether you’re a creative soul looking for a calming, soothing place to work on your craft or a busy homeowner who entertains often, candles can change the entire vibe of your home. From beautiful soft colours to unique shapes, try adorning your home with a bevy of candles and candleholders.

If you’re feeling tropical vibes, there’s nothing quite like Summer 2017’s reigning trend of the pineapple candleholder. A ceramic and metallic golden container can transform your urban abode into a charming, chic space.

Meanwhile, blush-coloured candles are equally as cool for the season ahead. Whether you’re hosting a girly tea party or looking to spruce up your kitchen without splurging, try decorating with a soft pink candle in a clear glass vase. A handful of florals in a decorative porcelain teapot and delicate teacups can help to create a feeling of ladylike charm and tranquility.

For the glamorous design lover who wants their candle to sparkle and shine, turn to a luxurious gold candleholder. The gleaming metallic aesthetic can immediately bring a dull wooden surface to life. Arrange your glitzy candle with pink and white blossoms, matching trinkets and a metallic tray. Whether your scent of choice is vanilla or an exotic fragrance, there’s no denying the allure of a gleaming, glimmering candle during the summer months.
