Taper & Pillar Candles

Unscented Candles Brighten Up Your Home

Unscented candles add flickering ambiance that provides the finishing touch throughout the home. Be sure to consider different scentless candle sizes and designs when coordinating with your space. For instance, arranging a cluster of unscented pillar candles around the tub adds ambiance to your master bathroom, while combining a group of multi-height pillar candles creates an impressive centerpiece. Unscented candles are also great for parties and family gatherings—after all, you don't want to overpower the oven-warmed aroma of home cooking. Also, find family-friendly flameless pillar candles for households with adventurous kids and furry friends. Classic unscented pillar candles, for example, pair naturally with glass hurricanes on dining tables, mantels and console tables. Want to add elegance to dinnertime? Think big candles, such as taper candles and display in slim-lined holders as table centerpieces or on buffets. Then, scatter small candles, such as unscented tealights in glass candle holders to create multiple points of light without overwhelming other decor elements. To make sure an entire room receives warm light, opt for a tall white candle and a matching set of tea light candles to spread throughout the space. For areas where you want the look of a lit candle, consider flameless unscented pillar candles, tealights and scentless votive candles. Wall candle holders above beds and sofas are perfect homes for this type of candle. Timer functions of each scentless candle add convenience during parties and gatherings by automatically shutting off after a certain duration has passed. Dinners on the patio become magical events with candle light, so look for citronella candles for patio tables or long burn tea lights that transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. For a different look, try lining the front steps with large outdoor candles in lanterns to create an inviting porch. Soy candles also produce low amounts of soot, making them smart picks for the outside of your home. What's more: a white unscented candle makes for a great birthday gift to elevate the recipient's outdoor decor.

Seasonal Decorating With Scentless Candles

Unscented candles also work as transitional decor during the holiday season. For instance, coordinate small white candles with a pair of tall taper candles in the center of a red berry wreath for a cozy Christmas theme, or near complementary star and snowflake-shaped ornaments. Then, place glass pillar candle holders and other decorative elements on your dining table to complete the look. When the celebration is over, switch the wreath out for acorns or pinecones that complement the winter season. In the fall, capture an autumnal look with warm-toned taper candles and neutral taper candle holders for a coordinated centerpiece display. Looking to create an especially cozy atmosphere during the fall and winter months? Scented candles in a variety of smells are a treat to the nose as well as the eyes. Small candles with decorative accents add a subtle and delicious touch to your room, while big candles help emphasize whatever smells you select. Either way, find a scentless candle that suits your taste, then stylize to fit your aesthetic.
