Candles were at one point in time one of the only reliable sources of light that could be easily controlled within the home. Their popularity has never disappeared and candles continue to be manufactured and sold in nearly every country in the world. While it may not seem that candles still have a practical function in today’s modern world, they can be more than decorative and many home owners find it useful to have candles in case their electricity stops.
A popular type on candle that is often found in home decoration stores are scented candles. There are many well known manufactures of scented candles and the range of scents that can be purchased is 
extremely broad, as consumers are always on the lookout for new scents to try.
Candles remain a popular fixture on many dinner tables as the light they give off is enough to see your food, but it is also dim enough to create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and inviting.
Of course having any open flame in the house does come with risks, and while home fires due to burning candles are thankfully quite rare, it is important to make sure that you do not leave any lit candle unattended. Another important thing to take note of when placing candles around your home is that one of the things that catches on fire most often are curtains, as when wind can blow them directly into the path of the flame.
