Nothing says cosy quite like a few candles flickering away in a room, especially in the colder months. I don’t think I could survive winter — actually make that winter, spring and autumn — without candles. I light them in every room from the kitchen to the entryway and of course in my outdoor space too.

And just because they’re easy to make, doesn’t mean they are compromised on looks. They’re both practical and stylish with a minimal vibe.
