From Table to Mantel: 5 Ways to Style Glass Ornaments Around the Home

As the days grow shorter and evenings draw in, autumn is the season of warmth and comfort. It’s the perfect time to refresh your home with glowing glass décor that brings light and colour indoors. Start with glass candle holders. When lit, the flicker of a tealight through hand-blown glass creates a beautiful glow, perfect for cosy evenings. Scatter them along the mantelpiece or cluster them as a centrepiece on the dining table. Autumn is also a time for rich, earthy tones. Our glass bowls in amber, red, or green make wonderful seasonal accents. Fill them with pinecones, conkers, or dried flowers for an instant autumnal touch. For a pop of colour in the window, hang a Friendship Ball in deep red, orange, or golden tones. The sunlight streaming through the glass highlights the swirling patterns and adds warmth to any room. And don’t forget fragrance. Our reed diffusers and wax melt warmers pair beautifully with seasonal scents like spiced apple, cinnamon, or vanilla. Together with the glow of glass, they create a calming and inviting atmosphere. This autumn, make your home a retreat — a place where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy the changing season in comfort and style. 👉 Explore our full home décor collectio to find your perfect autumn accents.

We all need a little corner of calm in our homes — a space to unwind, recharge, and escape the day-to-day rush. Glass décor, combined with soothing fragrance, is the perfect way to create it. Start with scent. Our reed diffusers provide a gentle, continuous aroma, while wax melt warmers let you change fragrances depending on your mood. Next, think about light. The soft glow of a tealight instantly transforms a space. Pair it with a Friendship Ball in calming blues or greens to create a peaceful atmosphere. Add comfortable seating, a soft throw, and perhaps a favourite book — and you have a personal retreat where stress melts away. A calming corner doesn’t need a whole room. A small shelf, window seat, or bedside table can become your sanctuary when styled with thoughtful touches. With the right combination of light, fragrance, and glass, you’ll have a space that helps you pause, breathe, and restore balance every day.
