Probably one of the best habits I’ve developed over the past few months is making more of an effort when it comes to curating my dinner table. Though I’ve never been one to sit on the sofa with a plate on my lap, I’d seldom take the time to set our dining table. But when eating in become the new dining out, I made a conscious decision to elevate my mealtimes and, to ensure my table looked the stylish part, I ordered marble platters, linen tablecloths glass plates, rattan mats, and new coasters. My favourite purchase, however, was undoubtedly a set of sage taper candles.

I’ve already professed my love of candles, but I found my collection mainly consisted of either pillar or those hand-poured into glass jars, so I decided to switch things up with a set of tapers. Their initial appeal was that they looked instantly fancy but what I found is that, when lit, they create a beautiful atmosphere and make the moment feel significantly more special. They’re also great for adding height to a tablescape, which makes it all the more visually exciting and appealing. What’s more, I’ve found that most taper candles are unscented, and therefore don’t create a fragrance clash with the food I’m serving.

Throughout 2020, we’ve seen countless interior brands, both old and new, offer up stunning taper candles, some of which are bright and bold, while others stick to tonal palettes. Retro twirling has proved to be another detail of note, as is super-sharp ends which will appease any minimalists looking to get in on the trend.
