Here are our favourite ways to style them so your space feels curated, calm, and irresistibly inviting.

Style Note: Use odd numbers (3 or 5) for an effortlessly balanced arrangement.

Style Note: Pair creamy white candles with brushed brass or stone candle holders for a look that feels refined and timeless.
