This Under $5 IKEA Gem Gives Major Fall Energy to Any Table Setting
September is finally here, and it’s time to start planning your fall entertaining. If you have a dinner party coming up, then an autumn-themed tablescape will make your guests feel extra cozy — and IKEA has a set of candles that are made for the season. IKEA’s CONTORTATALL candles are already getting rave reviews from shoppers who have grabbed them, and they’re so classy that you’ll want to stock up on them for the rest of autumn.
What Are the IKEA CONTORTATALL Candles?
The IKEA CONTORTATALL taper candles, which are made from paraffin wax and burn for five hours, are far from basic. They come in a rich, rust-colored shade that screams fall and feature a spiral shape that gives them an elegant look. They’re unscented, so you can burn them during dinner without having aromas interfere with your food.
And because the base of each candle is a standard taper size, you can use them in all your favorite candleholders. You can also choose them in a honey-colored wax if you prefer a more natural-looking candle.
What IKEA Reviewers Are Saying
Even though the candles are new for this season, people have already been quick to leave positive reviews. Here’s what a few IKEA shoppers wrote online.
“These beautiful candles are reasonably priced and arrive nicely boxed,” one IKEA shopper wrote. “I appreciate that they are odorless. Exactly as pictured and great for fall/winter. Do not hesitate to purchase.”
Another person wrote, “VERY beautiful candles, TOO beautiful to light if I am to be completely honest … so I will let them stand as beautiful decorative candles instead. [I] bought two different shades, both equally nice!”
If your IKEA is out of stock, then you can find a similar spiral taper candle option at West Elm in a set of four for $16. These candles come in a handful of soft neutral colors.
Because each set of four IKEA candles is just under $5, you can light them and allow them to melt without feeling too bad! And the ambiance they’ll create at your next dinner party will definitely be worth it. Pick up a set of the CONTORTATALL candles now in either rust or honey color, and you’ll never go back to basic white taper candles again!
