Which candles should you choose for the bathroom? How to create a home SPA?

Our bathroom is at the same time a very intimate space, associated with privacy and relaxation, but also a place that must be functional and friendly when we are getting ready for work or school in a hurry in the morning. The bathroom is increasingly becoming a place of relaxation, and we try to provide a cozy atmosphere there, just like in other rooms in our home. Do you want to create a home SPA in your own bathroom? Think about scented candles. But what will be the best for the bathroom?

An oasis of relaxation and peace... my private space where I can relax, take care of myself after a long day and recharge my batteries... can you say the same about your bathroom? If you are still striving for bathroom perfection, we have some tips for you. Remember that it is not important how big the bathroom is, but how it is decorated.

If you want to relax in the bathroom, believe that the basic condition for a successful home SPA is... cleanliness and order! Oh yes, nothing disturbs your evening relaxation more than scattered towels, squeezed toothpaste on the sink or a shelf next to the bathtub falling off from time to time... involve the rest of the family, make sure that everyone takes care of your common space. After all, you are using it together and you can expect it to be clean and well-kept.

A relaxing bath is an element of a home SPA

Order done? Is the bathroom sparkling? Time to prepare a relaxing bath. You can use various types of cosmetics for your bath, such as bath bombs and bath salts, but you can also give yourself a bit of luxury by adding essential oils and flower petals to your bath. Prepare in advance all the cosmetics you will use, a mask, a peeling. Choose a book or favorite magazine.

The perfect bath is one that will also nourish your skin. Choose bath bombs or bath salts from our Candle World store. Bath bombs with jewelry inside will be an excellent choice. After all, that's what life is all about: pampering yourself in the spirit of self-care. Remember to choose the best cosmetics for your home SPA. Of course, you will find them in our offer.

Scented candles for home SPA

Now it's time to take care of the beautiful scent in the bathroom. You can use various types of scented candles and traditional candles for your home SPA. A very important and often overlooked issue is providing a candle appropriate to the size of your bathroom. Why is it so important, especially in smaller rooms? Scented candles from premium brands have different scent concentrations depending on their size.

If your bathroom is small, choose a smaller scented candle; you can seek advice from our advisors in stationary stores and advisors in the online store. So how to choose a scented candle for the bathroom so that it does not overwhelm the room and helps create an atmosphere of relaxation?

Choose a lighter scent for the bathroom

It's tempting to light a very strong, intense scent in the bathroom, but it may be too overpowering in a smaller space. When burning a scented candle in the bathroom, you obviously want to neutralize any unwanted odors, but also leave it pleasantly scented and inviting for the next user. By choosing a lighter scent, e.g. the smell of fresh laundry or sea air, you will ensure a beautiful, but not overpowering scent.

All water notes and green notes will also be a good choice. Delicate "beachy" scents are also the perfect atmosphere for a smaller bathroom. If you want absolute scent relaxation, choose a lavender scented candle. Lavender is known for its relaxing properties, it relaxes and helps to de-stress. Another classic combination perfect for the bathroom is a mixture of lavender and vanilla - you will find it in many of our fragrances.

Mix and match candles in your home SPA

If you are choosing a scented candle for a small bathroom, but you want to have the atmosphere of a home SPA - atmospheric candlelight throughout the room, even without turning on the lamp - add classic unscented candles to the scented candle. You can choose traditional block candles - those in simple shapes, such as classic pillar candles in several sizes or ball candles placed next to each other, will work perfectly. Remember to place each candle on a stand for safety reasons.

You can also use the magic of tealight candles. Appropriately placed in various places in the bathroom - next to the bathtub, on the windowsill or on a shelf with cosmetics - they will give the interior a unique atmosphere. You can place the tealights in elegant candlesticks, which will ensure safety of use and beautifully disperse the candle light. Natural massage candles in the form of practical heaters are also perfect for the bathroom. You can use such candles at the end of your relaxation, e.g. instead of hand lotion! Only benefits!

Practical tips for the perfect home SPA

Regardless of the candle scent and type you choose, remember a few things. Scented candles with lids, either in the form of a jar or with another type of cap, will work well for the bathroom. This is important if you know you won't be doing a home spa very often. You can also use the recently fashionable candle shades to cover them when you're not using them. Thanks to the practical lid, the candle will not collect dust.

If you choose classic candles, i.e. pillars or balls, remember to place them on stands. Coasters can be made of various materials, such as glass, wood, metal or ceramics, and can be decorative in themselves. A great solution for the bathroom if you want to use block candles are various types of lanterns and tall candlesticks made of glass. They combine practical values (they protect the candle against splashes) and aesthetic values (they beautifully disperse the candle light, giving a magical effect). Feel like going crazy and using lots of tealight candles? Place them in decorative candle holders - they will protect the candles and the surface they stand on. If you like it when nothing goes to waste - choose a natural scented massage candle, which will give you a beautiful scent during the bath, and after the bath, massaged into the body, it will nourish and moisturize the skin.

Relax and unwind in the bathroom of your home spa...
