How to Style Your Coffee Table with Candles

The coffee table is often the heart of a living room – a place where style meets function.

Adding luxury candles is one of the easiest ways to elevate your coffee table decor, adding warmth, scent, and a curated look.

Whether your style is sleek and modern or cosy and eclectic, here’s how to use home styling candles to create a beautifully layered space.

 

1. Start with a Tray as Your Base

 

A tray acts as an anchor for your display and makes your table look instantly organised.

Choose a tray that complements your style - think glossy black for a modern look, or woven rattan for a more relaxed, rustic feel.

Tip: Try pairing your tray with our Le Croissant Candle, offering a soft, warm scent that fits effortlessly into any space.

 

2. Layer Different Heights and Textures

 

When styling, height is key.

Pair taller items like vases or stacked books with medium-height candles and smaller decorative accents to create visual interest.

• Tall element: A slim vase with fresh flowers or greenery.
• Medium element: A luxury candle like our Black Pomegranate Candle.
• Small element: A decorative object like a ceramic knot or coasters.

 

Texture tip: Mix materials like glass, ceramic, wood, and soft fabrics to add depth to your coffee table decor.

 

3. Choose Candles That Reflect Your Room’s Mood

 

Candles are about more than just scent - they help set the mood.

Pick a fragrance that enhances the room’s atmosphere:

• Relaxed and welcoming? Opt for warm, gourmand scents like Maple & Pecan Danish.
• Sophisticated and refined? Try deeper, moodier notes like Leather Books.

4. Create a Seasonal Coffee Table Moment

 

Your coffee table styling doesn’t have to be static.

Switch up your home styling candles seasonally:

• Spring/Summer: Fresh, floral, or citrus scents like Italian Kitchen Garden.
• Autumn/Winter: Rich, warm, and spicy scents like our Warm Jasmine & Sandalwood candle.

 

Quick Tip:

Cluster two or three candles together in varying sizes for an intentional, styled look. Odd numbers usually look more natural than even groupings!

 

5. Don’t Forget the Matches!

 

A stylish box of matches or a sleek lighter can be part of the decor too.

Display them next to your candle on the tray - it’s practical and looks beautifully intentional.
