Feng Shui experts say this is the best place to put a scented candle to bring positive energy into your space – plus, the best scents for a harmonious home

A living room with a rustic wooden coffee table styled with coffee table books, a vase of flowers and a scented candle from Pott with matching matchsticks.

Personally, whenever I get home from a long, busy day, I like to light my favourite scented candle and put my feet up. But what I hadn’t realised is that, according to the principles of Feng Shui, where you position your candles in the home is important and can affect the energy of your space.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that consists of arranging spaces in order to harmonise with the natural world. It literally translates to wind-water. And if you’ve been wondering whether your best candles may have an impact on your home’s harmony, you’d be right.
