Whether you’re decorating with thrifted finds, planning a dinner party, or just want your living room to smell like something other than takeout, here are 10 fresh ways to use Candella’s refillable candles—from cozy winters to sunny summer nights.

🌷  Spring 

Floating candle with fresh flowers in hurricane glass vase

Create a dreamy floating candle moment with our Garden Picnic sand candle poured into a flower vase or hurricane glass. Add a few fresh spring blooms — think tulips, hyacinths, or daffodils — and let the delicate floral scent fill the air. It’s a simple, stunning way to refresh your space and welcome the season with open windows and soft light. Watch a video demonstration here on how to make a floral candle centerpiece.

☀️  Summer

Hosting a backyard BBQ or heading out for a summer camping trip? Our Unscented sand candle is the perfect outdoor companion. You can easily customize it with your own essential oils — and for warm nights under the stars, a few drops of citronella help keep bugs at bay and add a fresh, clean scent. Want to see how it’s done? Check out our quick how-to video here.

🍂 Fall 

Moody spooky thrifted mugs

Get into the spooky spirit with a thrifted twist. Grab a few dark-toned or vintage Halloween-themed mugs from your local thrift shop and fill them with our sand candle. The result? A glowing, gothic vibe that’s perfect for your entryway, windowsill, or Halloween tablescape. Add dried florals or mini pumpkins for a look that’s spooky, stylish, and totally sustainable.

❄️ Winter

Candles, candles, candles!

When the snow starts falling, there’s nothing better than cozying up indoors surrounded by candlelight. With sand candles, you can light up every corner of your home using any fire-safe container — from vintage teacups to ceramic bowls. And when you’re ready to switch things up? Just pour the wax away and start fresh. For winter, Lavender Fog is our go-to: soft, calming, and so addictive, you’ll wonder how you ever relaxed without it.
