So, is it safe to burn candles in your bedroom? The answer is not exactly straightforward; some people will say you should; others will tell you shouldn’t. Nonetheless, you can burn candles in your bedroom, but you will have to consider several safety factors.
1. Don’t leave candles burning in the room
A candle is still an open flame, and it is crucial to keep an eye on it in case something goes wrong, and a lot can go wrong. That way, you will be in a position to take immediate action.
2. Keep the candle away from drafts, curtains, and other flammable stuff
Avoid putting your scented candles on a windowsill- a breeze can blow the curtains into it, causing a fire. Also, do not place it near bedrooms items that tend to catch fire quickly like pillows, bedding, clothing, and those books and magazine you like reading before sleeping.
3. Put the candle in the middle of a stable table
Do not put the scented candles near the edge of your bedroom table to reduce the risk of falling over. Also, ensure the table is stable to prevent the scented candles from tipping.
4. Do not leave the candle burning while sleeping
As stated earlier, aromas like lavender simulate sleep. Therefore, it is quite possible to fall asleep when burning scented candles, leaving the scented candles unattended. It’s for this reason that some people would strongly advise against burning scented candles in your bedroom. Therefore, it is essential for those burning candles in their bedrooms to put off the candle once you start feeling drowsy.
But what happens when you accidentally fall asleep and leave the candle burning? Rule 2 and 3 should keep you safe. Also, some candles come in jars; ceramic or tin jars. Therefore, in case the candle burns all the way down, the flame will not come into contact with your table. Nonetheless, leaving a candle unattended is still a risk no matter how many safety measures you put in place. Therefore, always make sure to extinguish the candle before going to sleep.
