The first step in creating a minimalistic decor with candles is to choose a neutral colour palette. Neutral colours such as white, black, or grey create a calming and understated environment that is perfect for relaxing after a long day. When selecting paint or furniture, opt for neutral tones to keep the space simple and peaceful.

Step 2: Use Simple Candle Holders

Candle holders play a crucial role in creating a minimalistic decor with candles. Look for candle holders made of materials such as glass, metal or ceramic that are simple and have clean lines. Avoid holders with embellishments or patterns, as they can detract from the simplicity of the decor.

Step 3: Select Unscented Candles

Scented candles can be overpowering and detract from the simplicity of the decor. Stick to unscented candles to keep the focus on the flame and the ambient lighting. Unscented or slightly scented candles also offer a clean and fresh feel to the room.

Step 4: Arrange Candles Symmetrically

Place the candle holders in a symmetrical arrangement to create a sense of balance and order. A symmetrical arrangement will add a touch of elegance to the room and keep the focus on the candles.

Step 5: Limit the Number of Candles
