Let’s be honest, there’s something magical about lighting a scented candle. It instantly transforms your space, doesn’t it? Whether you’re working from home, taking a long bath, or just curling up with your favourite book, a good candle can set the perfect mood. But here’s the thing: where you place your candle can actually make a huge difference in how the fragrance flows and how it makes your space feel.
At WhipandWick, we hand-pour each candle and wax melt with love (and some seriously dreamy scents). If you're wondering where to place your candles for the best experience, here’s our friendly little guide:
Living Room: The Hangout Zone
Your living room is where the magic happens movie nights, chats over coffee, and lazy Sundays. Make it smell amazing by placing a candle on the coffee table, TV unit, or a side shelf.

Quick Candle Safety Check
We know, we know you’re careful. But a reminder never hurts:
- Always place your candle on a flat, sturdy surface.
- Keep away from curtains, books, and other flammable stuff.
- Don’t leave a candle burning if you’re not in the room.
- Keep them out of reach of pets and kiddos.
- Make sure there’s good air circulation.
