Tealight candles are a great candle choice for decorating your home. These candles are very small and measure at around an inch and a half in width and a half an inch in height. These candles are often set in a small metallic base, as they are so small, they burn quite quickly. Tealight candles are also often set in glass cup candle holders to minimize the spillage of wax. Tealight candles are also the centerpiece of candle sconces that often hang on walls. These decorative items usually have several glass cups with tealight candles within them. They are a great decorative item and allow you to accentuate the best aspects of your home.
Tea light candles are often unscented and come in a plain white color. These are often used in sconces as they are more visual decor items. However, you can also find tea light candles that are scented. These can come in a whole variety of aromas sure to match your own personal tastes and the potential tastes of your guests. While you cannot predict what all of those people who come into your home will like, you can eliminate those scents that are most commonly offensive.
Tealights are both beautiful and interesting. While many people think of candles as large pillars or skinny tapers, tealights take up barely any room and can be a great addition to your home. These candles can add to the atmosphere of your living space. Whether you opt for a scented candle or an unscented one depends on both your personal tastes and how you will be using these candles in your home. If you plan to use tealights in sconces, aroma is probably not very important as they will most likely be hung on a wall and not within smelling distance.
If you plan on using these tiny candles as a part of your decor elsewhere, perhaps in small glass candle holders about your home, scented tealights may be more your style. Just be sure to pick candle scents that are unobtrusive, calming to the senses and easy on the nose. Choose scents like lavender or perhaps a soft rose. Don't go for spicy scents like bergamot or cinnamon as an everyday use candle. You may offend the noses of your guests and cause them to want to leave as soon as possible. This is definitely not the kind of uninviting atmosphere you want to create!
