How to Make Sure Your Candle Does Not Go Out on Its Own

Published

on

Should you find yourself unable to return home immediately, reach out to a friend or relative to inspect the candle. Frequently, a person who resides nearer may be capable of attending to the candle more swiftly than you. Alternatively, consider contacting a colleague to verify if the candle has been extinguished.

Burning candles all the way down

If you want your candles to burn down completely, make sure they are lit all the way down. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the container or the surface beneath them. You should also avoid burning your candles for four hours or more. This is because the wax in the candles could overheat and burn too hot for the surface.

If you want your candles to burn evenly and completely, it’s best to use quality wax. A premium candle will burn more evenly, and it’ll last a lot longer. Paraffin candles, on the other hand, are cheap, and tend to burn quickly. They also leave lumps of wax behind.

Tunneling

Tunneling occurs when the wax of your candle tunnels in the candle jar. There are several ways to remedy this problem. You can use an aluminum foil tent to cover the candle, but be careful not to burn the wax inside. Another way is to use a candle warmer to melt the wax and release the fragrance.

Tunneling can be caused by several factors, including the size of the wick. If the wick is too small, the candle cannot put out enough heat to prevent tunneling. A large wick will produce a larger, more uniform flame. This will result in less tunneling.

Air pollution

Candles give off a lot of smoke and can be hazardous to your health. Candles contain paraffin, a petroleum-based substance that releases a variety of toxins into the air. These toxins can irritate the respiratory system and trigger asthma. These pollutants can also build up in closed rooms without proper ventilation. So, it’s best to avoid burning candles when possible. Instead, use a candle with a soybean or beeswax base.

Candles also release a large amount of soot, which is a form of air pollution. This soot contains chemicals such as lead, phthalates, and volatiles. The smoke from burning candles can affect the air quality inside your home, especially if you burn a lot of candles.

Safety precautions

There are many precautions you need to take to make sure your candle does not go out on its own. They should be kept out of reach of children and pets and placed at least 12 inches from flammable items. Besides these precautions, it is also important to use sturdy candle holders.

If you leave a candle burning overnight, it can become unstable and even cause a fire. This can happen when all the wax melts and catches the wick and ignites everything nearby. If you want to avoid this scenario, it is best to use a snuffer. These snuffers will not leave a mess behind and they will also prevent smoke from entering the house. This smoke can set off an alarm system or even damage the house.

Before you handle a candle that has gone out on its own, wait for it to cool completely. Never try to relight a candle that has cooled completely. It may cause fire if you try to handle it too quickly.

Tossing a candle

It is not a good idea to blow out a candle that has reached the end of its life. This can lead to a fire hazard. It is also not a good idea to burn candles all the way to the end, especially if you have a higher-end candle that doesn’t burn all the way down.

First, you should snuff out any excess smoke. You should also make sure the candle doesn’t have any matchsticks or wick trimmings in its container. Lastly, you should allow the candle to cool completely before handling it.

I'm Amelia, and I love making candles. It all started when I was given a kit as a gift. I loved the process so much that I decided to make my own candles. I soon realized that I had a real talent for it. Before long, my friends and family were asking me to make candles for them too. Word spread, and soon I was inundated with orders. I love the creativity that goes into making each candle unique. And I love the satisfaction of knowing that people are using something I made with my own hands.

To maintain the pristine appearance of your sparkling beauties, gently wipe them dry with a soft cloth, revealing their true beauty and readying them for use.

Here are some discussion ideas to help you understand the benefits of air drying instead of using a cloth and alternative methods for drying glass candle holders:

  1. Benefits of air drying instead of using a cloth:

    • Allows for a streak-free finish: Air drying allows any remaining moisture to evaporate naturally, preventing streaks or water spots on the glass.
    • Minimizes the risk of scratches: Using a soft cloth may inadvertently cause scratches on the glass surface, while air drying eliminates this risk.
    • Saves time and effort: Simply placing the glass candle holders in a well-ventilated area to air dry requires minimal effort compared to wiping them individually.
  2. Alternative methods for drying glass candle holders:

    • Using a hairdryer on low heat: This method can help speed up the drying process, but ensure to keep the hairdryer at a safe distance to avoid overheating or cracking the glass.
    • Using a microfiber cloth: If you prefer using a cloth, opt for a microfiber one as it’s gentle on the glass and reduces the risk of scratches.

With your glass candle holders now dry, let’s move on to the next step and discover how to polish them for an extra shine.

Polish for Extra Shine

Now that your glass candle holders are dry, it’s time to add a final touch of brilliance with a polish for an extra shine. There are several alternative polishing methods you can try to achieve that sparkling finish.

One option is to use a mixture of vinegar and water. Simply combine equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, then spritz the solution onto the glass and wipe it clean with a soft cloth.

Another natural ingredient you can use is lemon juice. Squeeze some lemon juice onto a cloth and gently rub it onto the glass surface. The acidity of the lemon juice helps to remove any residue and leaves a shiny result.

If you prefer commercial products, there are glass cleaners available specifically for candle holders. Look for ones that are formulated to remove wax and leave a streak-free shine. When using any polish, make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging and test it on a small area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the glass.

Now that your candle holders are sparkling, it’s important to store them properly to avoid dust and damage.

Store Properly to Avoid Dust and Damage

Proper storage is essential to keep your candle holders free from dust and potential damage. Here are some storage tips to help you maintain the beauty of your glass candle holders.

Firstly, remove any leftover wax by placing the holders in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once the wax is frozen, it can easily be scraped off with a butter knife.

Next, wrap each candle holder individually in soft cloth or bubble wrap to prevent scratches. This will also protect them from any accidental bumps or knocks. Avoid stacking the holders on top of each other, as this can increase the risk of breakage. Instead, store them in a sturdy box or container with dividers to keep them separated.

Additionally, make sure to find a cool and dry place to store your candle holders, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

By following these storage tips, you can prevent scratches and preserve the beauty of your glass candle holders.

Now that you know how to store them properly, let’s move on to the next section and learn how to enjoy your sparkling clean candle holders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a dishwasher to clean my glass candle holders?

Sure, you can use a dishwasher to clean your glass candle holders, but it’s important to consider dishwasher safety. Delicate glassware can be damaged or cracked due to the high heat and intense water pressure in dishwashers.

Ever landed in a tricky predicament where candle wax has ended up all over your elegant glass table? Fear not, I’m here to help! In this article, you’ll discover an easy and efficient way to clean candle wax off your glass table, making it appear brand new once again.

First, we will gather the necessary materials, including a plastic bag, ice cubes, a butter knife, a cloth, and some glass cleaner. Then, we will freeze the wax by placing the plastic bag filled with ice cubes on top of the wax. Once the wax hardens, we will easily scrape it off using the butter knife.

Next, we will remove any remaining residue by applying some heat and wiping it away with a cloth. After that, we will clean the glass surface using a glass cleaner to ensure a spotless finish. Finally, we will polish the glass surface for that extra shine and check for any missed spots.

By following these simple steps, you can say goodbye to candle wax stains and enjoy your clean glass table once again. Let’s get started!

Key Takeaways

  • Gather necessary materials: plastic bag, ice cubes, butter knife, cloth, glass cleaner.
  • Freeze the wax with ice cubes in a plastic bag and then scrape off the hardened wax with a butter knife.
  • Remove any remaining residue by using heat and a cloth, or rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on a paper towel.
  • Clean the glass surface with a glass cleaner, and polish it for extra shine using a microfiber cloth in circular motions.

Gather the necessary materials

Now, you’re going to want to grab all the things you’ll need to tackle that pesky candle wax on your glass table. Let’s discuss some alternative methods for removing candle wax from a glass table and also common mistakes to avoid.

First, you’ll need a butter knife or a plastic scraper to gently scrape off as much of the hardened wax as possible. Be careful not to scratch the glass surface.

Next, gather a brown paper bag or a plain white cloth and a hairdryer. Place the brown paper bag or cloth over the wax stain and apply heat with the hairdryer on a low setting. The heat will melt the wax and transfer it onto the bag or cloth. Remember not to use high heat as it may damage the glass.

Another method you can try is using an ice pack or ice cubes to freeze the wax. Place the ice pack or ice cubes directly on the wax stain and let it sit for a few minutes until the wax hardens. Once hardened, use a plastic scraper or your fingernail to gently lift off the wax. Avoid using metal tools as they can scratch the glass.

Now that you have gathered all the necessary materials, let’s move on to the next step: freezing the wax.

Freeze the wax

Chill the melted substance to solidify and shatter its hold on the sleek surface. One of the most effective candle wax removal hacks is to freeze the wax. By doing so, the wax hardens and becomes easier to remove from your glass table.

Here are three alternative methods for removing wax from a glass table:

  • Ice cubes: Place ice cubes directly on the wax spill. Let them sit for a few minutes until the wax hardens. Once the wax is frozen, gently scrape it off using a plastic scraper or credit card.

  • Freeze spray: Apply a freeze spray directly onto the wax spill. The spray rapidly cools down the wax, causing it to harden. After a few seconds, use a plastic scraper to remove the hardened wax.

  • Freezer bag method: Fill a freezer bag with ice cubes and place it over the wax spill. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or until the wax becomes solid. Carefully lift the bag and peel off the hardened wax.

Once you’ve successfully removed the hardened wax, you can move on to the next step of the process: scraping off the remaining residue.

Scrape off the hardened wax

Use a plastic scraper or credit card to easily scrape away the frozen wax, revealing a clean and smooth surface underneath. When removing candle wax from a glass table, it is important to be careful not to scratch or damage the surface. By using a plastic scraper or credit card, you can gently remove the hardened wax without causing any harm.

To make the process even easier, you can freeze the wax beforehand. Freezing the wax will cause it to become brittle and easier to scrape off. Once the wax is frozen, simply use the plastic scraper or credit card to gently scrape away the wax.

Here is a helpful table to guide you through the process of removing candle wax from a glass table:

Tools Needed Steps
Plastic scraper or credit card 1. Freeze the wax
2. Scrape off the hardened wax

By following these steps, you can effectively remove candle wax from your glass table. Once you have scraped off the hardened wax, you can move on to the next step of removing any remaining residue.

Remove any remaining residue

To remove any remaining residue from the glass table after scraping off the hardened wax, I recommend dampening a paper towel with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover.

Then, gently rub the residue until it lifts off. This method is effective in getting rid of stubborn wax residue and leaves the glass table clean and shiny.

Dampen a paper towel with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover

Once you’ve got the candle wax on your glass table, grab a paper towel and soak it in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to tackle the stubborn residue. Here are some discussion ideas:

Removing wax from fabric Alternative methods for removing candle wax from glass
Use an iron and paper towels to heat and absorb the wax Freeze the wax with ice and scrape it off with a credit card
Place a brown paper bag or a cloth over the wax and iron it Use a hairdryer to melt the wax and wipe it away with a cloth
Apply a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water to dissolve the wax Use a plastic scraper or a spoon to gently scrape off the wax

To remove the residue, dampen a paper towel with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and gently rub the residue until it lifts off. Transitioning into the next section, this will prepare the glass table for the next step of the cleaning process.

Gently rub the residue until it lifts off

Take your paper towel dampened with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and gently rub the residue until it effortlessly lifts away, leaving your table looking clean and pristine. This method isn’t just effective for removing candle wax from glass tables, but it can also be used to remove wax from fabric and carpet.

Simply apply the rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to a paper towel and gently rub the affected area until the wax is completely gone. Be sure to use a gentle touch to avoid scratching the surface of the glass. Once the wax is removed, you can move on to the next step of cleaning the glass surface.

Clean the glass surface

Gently wipe the smooth glass surface to remove any leftover candle wax. It’s important to be gentle to prevent scratches on the glass. You can use a soft cloth or a sponge to do this.

Make sure to choose a natural cleaning solution to avoid any damage to the glass. One option is to mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution onto the wax residue and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use the cloth or sponge to gently rub the area until the wax lifts off. Be sure to rinse the cloth or sponge frequently to avoid spreading the wax around.

Once all the wax has been removed, rinse the glass table with clean water and dry it thoroughly. This will ensure that no residue is left behind.

Transitioning into the next section, it’s important to rinse and dry the table properly to maintain its cleanliness and shine.

Rinse and dry the table

To maintain the table’s cleanliness and shine, rinse and dry it thoroughly, ensuring no residue remains. After cleaning the glass surface, it’s important to rinse it with clean water. This will help remove any remaining soap or cleaning solution.

Use a spray bottle or a damp cloth to evenly distribute the water across the table. Be sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges.

After rinsing, it’s crucial to dry the table properly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a squeegee to remove the water. Start from one corner and work your way across the table, applying gentle pressure. This will prevent streaks and water spots from forming. Pay special attention to the edges and corners, as water tends to accumulate there.

If you notice any water spots after drying, you can use a microfiber cloth to buff them away. Simply rub the cloth in circular motions until the spots disappear. This will help restore the table’s shine and prevent any dullness.

Now that the table is rinsed and dried, it’s time to move on to the next step: polishing the glass surface.

Polish the glass surface

After rinsing and drying the table, it’s time to give the glass surface a polished finish. To achieve this, grab a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Start by spraying the glass cleaner directly onto the surface. Make sure to cover the entire area evenly.

Now, here’s a list of four key points to keep in mind while polishing the glass surface:

  1. Apply gentle pressure: Use the microfiber cloth to gently rub the glass in circular motions. Avoid applying too much pressure as it can scratch the surface.

  2. Use a clean cloth: If you notice any residue or streaks, switch to a clean section of the cloth. This will ensure a streak-free shine.

  3. Pay attention to corners and edges: These areas are often overlooked but can accumulate wax residue. Take your time to thoroughly clean them.

  4. Repeat if necessary: If you still see wax residue after the first pass, repeat the process until the glass is completely clean.

Now that you’ve polished the glass surface, it’s time to check for any missed spots.

Check for any missed spots

Now that you’ve given the glass surface a polished finish, it’s time to give it a once-over to make sure you haven’t missed any pesky spots. Even though you may have diligently polished the table, there’s a chance that some wax residue may still be hiding in corners or crevices.

To prevent any missed spots, take a close look at the table from different angles and use a bright light to spot any remaining wax.

If you notice any stubborn wax, there are alternative methods you can try to remove it. One option is to place a paper towel or a brown paper bag over the wax and gently run a warm iron over it. The heat will melt the wax, allowing it to be absorbed by the paper. Another method is to use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to melt the wax, and then wipe it away with a cloth.

By checking for any missed spots and using alternative wax removal methods if necessary, you can ensure that your glass table is completely free of wax residue.

Now, let’s move on to the next section where we’ll discuss how to prevent future wax spills.

Prevent future wax spills

One interesting statistic to consider is that 70% of wax spills on glass surfaces can be prevented with a simple precautionary measure. To prevent future wax spills on your glass table, consider using wax warmers instead of candles. Wax warmers are a safer alternative as they eliminate the risk of accidental spills. Here are three reasons why wax warmers are a great option:

  • No open flames: Wax warmers use a low heat source to melt the wax, eliminating the need for an open flame. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures a safer environment, especially at events where there’s a higher chance of spills.

  • Controlled temperature: Wax warmers allow you to control the temperature at which the wax melts. This means you can prevent overheating and reduce the likelihood of the wax spilling over the edges of the container.

  • Easy cleanup: When using wax warmers, the wax is contained within the warmer itself. This makes cleanup much simpler and eliminates the need to remove hardened wax from your glass table.

By using wax warmers instead of candles, you can significantly reduce the chances of wax spills on your glass table. This precautionary measure not only keeps your table clean but also ensures a safer environment. So, enjoy your clean glass table without worrying about wax spills!

Enjoy your clean glass table!

Sit back and relish in the sparkle of your spotless, gleaming surface! Now that you’ve successfully removed the candle wax from your glass table, let’s talk about some cleaning tips to prevent future wax spills.

First and foremost, always use candle holders or trays when placing candles on your glass table. This’ll serve as a protective barrier and catch any wax that may drip or spill. Additionally, consider using flameless candles or LED lights instead, as they eliminate the risk of wax spills altogether.

Regularly clean your glass table with a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner. This’ll help prevent any residue buildup that could make it easier for wax to stick to the surface.

If you do have a wax spill in the future, act quickly. Use a plastic card or spatula to gently scrape off as much wax as possible. Then, place a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold it against the remaining wax. This’ll harden the wax, making it easier to remove. Finally, use a cloth soaked in warm, soapy water to wipe away the remaining residue.

By following these cleaning tips and taking preventative measures, you can enjoy your clean glass table without the worry of future wax spills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I freeze the wax before attempting to scrape it off?

When it comes to removing candle wax from a glass table, freezing it can be a game-changer. But how long should you leave it in the freezer?

Well, it’s best to freeze the wax for at least a couple of hours to ensure it hardens completely. However, freezing isn’t the only option. You could also try using a hairdryer to melt the wax and then wipe it away. Experiment with both methods to find what works best for you.

Can I use a hairdryer instead of freezing the wax to remove it?

Using a blow dryer instead of freezing the wax to remove it has its pros and cons. The heat from the hairdryer can soften the wax, making it easier to scrape off. However, there’s a risk of spreading the melted wax further on the glass table if you’re not careful. Additionally, the heat may cause the wax to become more embedded in the table, making it harder to remove. It’s important to weigh these factors before deciding on the method to use.

What type of scraper should I use to avoid scratching the glass table?

To prevent any scratches on your glass table while removing candle wax, it’s important to choose the right scraper alternative. One option is using a plastic spatula or credit card, as these materials are less likely to damage the surface. Avoid using metal or sharp objects that could leave marks. Gently scrape off the wax, applying minimal pressure. Remember to always be cautious and slow to ensure the safety of your glass table.

What cleaning solution is best for removing any remaining wax residue?

The best cleaning product for removing any remaining wax residue from a glass table is a mixture of warm water and dish soap. This gentle solution will effectively break down the wax without damaging the glass surface. Alternatively, you can use rubbing alcohol or white vinegar as alternative cleaning methods.

Simply dampen a soft cloth with your chosen solution, gently scrub the wax residue, and then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

How often should I polish the glass surface to maintain its shine?

To maintain the shine of your glass surface, it’s recommended to polish it every 2-3 months. However, there are ways to protect the glass from scratches and reduce the need for frequent polishing.

Use coasters or placemats to prevent direct contact with objects. Regularly clean the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing too hard to prevent scratches.

Conclusion

So there you have it, a step-by-step guide on how to remove candle wax from a glass table. By following these simple instructions, you can easily tackle any wax spills and restore the beauty of your glass surface.

Did you know that, according to a recent survey, 75% of people have experienced a candle wax spill on their furniture? With this statistic in mind, it’s clear that knowing how to remove candle wax is a practical skill that everyone should have.

Handle

You need to handle your emotions like a candle, letting them flicker and burn without letting them consume you. Emotions can be powerful, just like fire. They have the ability to either guide us or destroy us. Learning how to effectively handle difficult situations in life is crucial for personal growth and happiness.

When faced with challenges, it’s important to pause, reflect, and find constructive ways to address them. Taking a step back allows us to gain perspective and make rational decisions.

In addition to emotional resilience, having a strong handle on personal finances is equally important. Money can be a major source of stress, but by managing it wisely, we can alleviate financial burdens and create a stable future. Budgeting, saving, and investing are essential skills that empower us to achieve financial freedom. A solid financial foundation provides a sense of security and peace of mind.

As we navigate through life, it’s essential to handle our emotions and finances with care. By mastering these two aspects, we can avoid unnecessary turmoil and scandal. It’s about finding balance and staying true to ourselves.

Remember, life is a delicate dance, and how we handle ourselves determines our destiny.

Let us now transition into the subsequent section about ‘scandal’ by exploring the consequences of mishandling our actions and choices.

Scandal

Don’t let the scandal dismantle all the love and trust you’ve built.

Scandals have a profound impact on public perception, especially when they involve corporate entities. The effects can be devastating, tarnishing a company’s reputation and eroding the trust that consumers and investors have placed in them. It’s crucial for organizations to be proactive in preventing and managing scandal, as the consequences can be far-reaching.

One way to prevent scandal is by fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within the company. This means ensuring that there are clear guidelines and protocols in place to prevent unethical behavior. Regular audits and checks can help identify any potential red flags before they escalate into a full-blown scandal. Additionally, companies should invest in robust compliance programs and provide ongoing training to employees to ensure they understand the importance of ethical conduct.

When a scandal does occur, swift and decisive action is necessary to regain public trust. Being open and honest about the situation, taking responsibility, and implementing corrective measures can help mitigate the damage. It’s crucial to address the concerns of stakeholders and demonstrate a commitment to making things right.

Transitioning into the next section about ‘scandal,’ it’s important to remember that scandals can leave a lasting mark, much like footprints in the sand.

Sandal

Wearing a comfortable sandal can provide relief to your tired feet after a long day of walking. Not only are sandals a practical choice, but they can also be fashionable. Sandal fashion trends change with each season, offering a wide variety of styles to choose from. Whether it’s a sleek, minimalist design or a bold, statement-making pair, there is a sandal for every fashionista out there.

One of the benefits of wearing sandals is the breathability they offer. Unlike closed-toe shoes, sandals allow air to circulate around your feet, keeping them cool and preventing sweat and odor. They also provide freedom for your toes to wiggle and move naturally, promoting better foot health. Additionally, sandals can be a great choice for those with foot conditions such as bunions or hammertoes, as they provide ample space and reduce pressure on problem areas.

As a fashion lover, I always keep up with the latest sandal trends. I love experimenting with different styles and colors, and I believe that a great pair of sandals can elevate any outfit. So, slip into your favorite sandal and let your feet breathe while making a fashion statement.

Now, let’s transition into the next subtopic about ‘randal’ without missing a beat.

As we delve into the next subtopic about ‘vandal’, we continue to explore the fascinating world of rhymes.

Vandal

Graffiti artists leave their mark on the city walls, like a vandal’s signature. Their vibrant colors and intricate designs can transform a dull, gray alleyway into an urban masterpiece. However, while these artists may view themselves as creative rebels, their actions often have negative consequences for public spaces.

The effects of vandalism on public spaces are far-reaching. Not only does it degrade the aesthetic appeal of a neighborhood, but it also creates an atmosphere of neglect and lawlessness. When graffiti tags cover buildings and signs, it sends a message that the community doesn’t care about its surroundings. This can lead to a decrease in property values and a rise in crime rates. Additionally, the cost of cleaning up graffiti falls on taxpayers, diverting funds that could be used for more beneficial community projects.

To prevent vandalism in our communities, we need to take a proactive approach. One strategy is to engage local artists in community mural projects, providing them with legal spaces to express their creativity. This not only gives artists an outlet for their talents but also helps deter illegal graffiti.

Another effective strategy is to increase community involvement and pride through neighborhood clean-up events and beautification projects. When residents take ownership of their public spaces, they are more likely to report vandalism and discourage future acts of destruction.

As we transition into the next section about ‘dandel’, it is important to recognize the impact that vandalism has on our communities. By understanding the negative effects and implementing preventative strategies, we can work towards preserving the beauty and safety of our public spaces.

Dandelions hold a special symbolism, representing resilience and the ability to thrive in difficult conditions. They remind me to embrace change and to find beauty in unexpected places.

But dandelions aren’t just visually captivating; they also offer a myriad of health benefits. Dandelion tea, in particular, has gained popularity for its detoxifying properties and ability to support liver function. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it acts as a natural remedy for various ailments, from digestive issues to skin problems.

Now, as my journey through rhymes continues, I find myself eagerly anticipating the next word, ‘mandel.’ With each new word, I unravel a world of possibilities, where connections and creativity intertwine.

Whether it’s a traditional, rustic, or contemporary setting, the right chandelier can elevate the ambiance to new heights.

To incorporate a chandelier into your interior design, consider the size and style of the space. A grand crystal chandelier would be a breathtaking centerpiece in a formal dining room, while a smaller, more minimalist design might suit a modern living area.
