Is it safe to burn candles in the bathroom?
Yes, candles are safe in bathrooms when used responsibly. Bathrooms are a popular place to enjoy calming fragrances during a hot bath or shower. Just make sure the candle is placed on a stable, non-flammable surface and away from towels, tissues, or other flammable items.
For a touch of elegance, try our luxury candle jars designed to look beautiful in any bathroom setup.
What types of candles are best for bathrooms?
Bathrooms benefit from candles with soothing or refreshing scents like lavender, eucalyptus, citrus, or vanilla. At Karessa Candles, we offer a range of handmade scented candles that elevate your bath time with natural aromas and cozy ambiance.
How should you position candles in a bathroom?
Place your candle:
-
On a flat, dry surface (avoid the edge of bathtubs)
-
Away from flowing water or moisture
-
In a spot with good air circulation
Our candle jars come with lids and sturdy bases, making them ideal for bathroom use.
Can bathroom steam affect candle performance?
Steam won’t damage your candle, but it can weaken the scent throw slightly. To enjoy the best aroma:
-
Light the candle before running the bath
-
Close doors/windows to let the fragrance build up
Explore our aromatherapy-inspired candles for scents that fill the space beautifully.
Is it okay to leave a candle burning while bathing?
While it’s common to enjoy a candle-lit bath, never leave your candle unattended. Stay in the room while it’s burning, and always extinguish it before stepping out or falling asleep.
For convenience and safety, consider setting a timer or using a lid jar candle that can be easily covered after use.

-
