What size art for a wall and how high to hang it, how long a candle burns, and which colors sit with your wall.
What size art for this wall
Measure the wall, and the sofa, bed or console under it if there is one. Leave the furniture box empty for an open wall.
Aim for 56–63 in wide over the furniture, one piece or a group that adds up to it.
Hang it with its center about 57 in from the floor, and 6–10 in above the sofa. That leaves room for a piece up to about 52 in tall. A 24 × 36 in canvas, the common large size, suits a wall 48–63 in wide on its own.
Candle burn time
From the wax weight on the label (not the jar). The maker's own burn-time rating is better than this when the listing has one.
About 40–56 hours in all: 13–19 evenings of three hours.
The first burn should last until the melt pool reaches the jar's edge (two to four hours), or the candle tunnels and much of the wax is wasted. Trim the wick to ¼ in before each burn, keep burns under four hours, and never leave a flame unattended. Candles →
Wall-color matcher
Type or pick your wall color; the schemes are standard color-wheel relations, named by The Color API, to carry into a frame, a print or a candle jar.
Candles in the shop
All candles →Soy and coconut-wax candles from US makers; each listing shows the wax weight.
