Here are a few tips on how to create a reading retreat with scented candles.

Choose the right scent

The first step in creating a reading retreat with scented candles is to choose the right scent. Think about what kind of atmosphere you want to create. If you're reading a cozy mystery novel, you might want a candle that has provides a comforting scent, like our  "Page Turner" candle. If you're reading a romance novel, you might want a candle with a sweet and floral scent, like our  "Strong Female" candle. Consider the theme of the book you're reading and choose a candle that complements it.

Set the mood

Once you've chosen the right scent, it's time to set the mood. Turn off any harsh overhead lights and opt for soft, ambient lighting. This could be a small lamp or even string lights. Make sure the lighting is soft and warm, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Light your scented candle and let the aroma fill the room.

Add cozy elements

To truly create a reading retreat, add cozy elements to your space. This could be a comfortable reading chair or a pile of plush pillows. A cozy throw blanket is also a must-have. Make sure you have a place to set your book and a warm cup of tea or coffee. Creating a cozy and inviting space will make it easy to sink into your book and forget about the outside world.

Creating a reading retreat with scented candles is a simple way to enhance your reading experience. With the right scent, lighting, and cozy elements, you'll feel like you've escaped into another world every time you crack open a book.
