Ever wish you could bottle up the feeling of a perfect beach vacation and bring it home with you? The gentle waves, sun-kissed air, and serene rhythm of the coast—now you can channel those vibes right into your space with one of our favorite styling elements: candles.
At Interiors by Simone, we believe your home should be your personal retreat. With thoughtful candle styling, it’s possible to create a sensory escape that feels like vacation—without ever leaving your living room.
Why Candles are the Key to a Coastal Escape
Capture the Scent of the Sea
Fragrance is one of the most powerful triggers of memory and emotion. Choose candles with notes like sea salt, coconut, driftwood, and citrus to evoke the smell of ocean breezes and tropical air. The moment you light them, you’ll feel like you’re lounging poolside, iced drink in hand.
Light Like the Coast
Coastal light is soft, warm, and golden. Recreate this ambiance with candles in creamy whites, sandy neutrals, and ocean-inspired blues. Use hurricane glass holders or frosted jars to diffuse the glow, mimicking the way sunlight dances on the water.
Style with Natural Layers
Incorporate natural textures to reinforce the coastal vibe. Style your candles on a rattan tray, surround them with small pieces of driftwood or coral, and pair with seashells or beach stones. This layered look adds a tactile, grounded feel to the space while still being chic and elegant.
Bring the Outdoors In
Nothing says “vacation” like indoor-outdoor living. Place candles near open windows, on breezy patios, or in your sunroom. Try styling with lanterns or large pillar candles in coastal-themed holders for alfresco dinners or serene solo evenings under the stars.
Team Memory Spotlight: A Candle Moment to Remember
My candle experience always ties back to the events we hosted at home. Our family loves entertaining, and we’d make it a point to shop for warm, gourmand-scented candles to greet our guests. The moment they walked in, the scent would spark curiosity and often become the perfect conversation starter.
