When it comes to styling a space that feels as good as it looks, candles are the unsung hero. They soften a corner, bring warmth to modern minimalism, and add that “something’s different but I can’t quite put my finger on it” energy. At Forget Me Not, our candles are designed with this in mind—white wax, clean lines, and timeless vessels that look beautiful anywhere (not just during dinner parties).
Ready to style your candles like the designers do? Here’s how:
1. The Rule of Three (But Make It Chic)
Designers swear by the power of odd numbers. Place your candle with two other objects—like a small book and a ceramic dish—for a styled moment that feels balanced and intentional. Use this trick on coffee tables, entryway consoles, or kitchen counters.
→ Pro Tip: Use different heights and textures to add visual interest without clutter.
2. Ground It on a Tray or Pedestal
Give your candle a “home” with a small tray, fluted riser, or stacked coasters. This not only keeps wax off your surfaces—it frames your candle like the art piece it is. Bonus: it instantly makes any room feel curated.
3. Pair With Natural Elements
Fresh eucalyptus, a bud vase with a single stem, or even a bowl of lemons—organic elements next to your candle add warmth and color without overwhelming your decor. It’s the easiest way to bring the outdoors in, without a full floral arrangement.
4. Style Unexpected Spaces
Yes, your dining table and kitchen island deserve a candle moment—but so does your bathroom vanity, bedside table, or laundry shelf. Adding a candle in places people don’t expect it shows thoughtfulness (and makes folding towels feel oddly luxurious).
5. Keep It Seasonal, Not Trendy
Swap scents and styling elements with the seasons, but keep the vessel timeless. Our signature white wax and neutral labels work year-round, making it easy to update your space without a full decor overhaul.
→ Spring styling ideas: A glass of citrus-infused water, a sprig of thyme, and our Fig Leaf + Neroli candle on the side table = instant European charm.
6. Less Is Always More
The goal isn’t to fill every surface—it’s to create intentional moments. Choose just a few spots in your home to style and let those shine. Good design doesn’t beg for attention—it whispers.
