The Retro Candle Trend That's Suddenly Everywhere (It's Super Easy to Thrift)

"Glass hurricane candle sleeves are everywhere these days - I see them popping up constantly when I check in with my favorite design creators on social media. I've been on this hurricane kick for what feels like forever, though. I've always admired the laid-back yet luxe look hurricanes have to offer - and they're even practical, as they contain a candle's open flame."

"Don't get me wrong: Scented candles in vessels are great, too, but placing a large pillar candle (or a taper in a candleholder) inside of a beautiful glass hurricane just adds such a romantic, sophisticated feel to any room. That's true whether you place them on your mantel, credenza, coffee table - you name it."

"Glass hurricanes fit in perfectly with the trending Nancy Meyers aesthetic that's been so popular lately. It's a look that's about all things cozy and collected (think: curling up on the sofa with a good book, favorite beverage, and soft blanket while candles flicker in the background). Seriously, what could be more relaxing?"

"Most of the big home decor stores sell hurricanes. While brand-new designs can cost a pretty penny, my secret source for hurricanes is thrift stores. You're sure to come across these at an affordable price at your local flea market or secondhand shop, too. I've amassed quite the collection over the years, and I even use them as vases."

Glass hurricane candle sleeves provide a laid-back yet luxe look while containing a candle's open flame for safety. Placing a pillar candle or a taper in a hurricane creates a romantic, sophisticated ambiance on mantels, credenzas, and coffee tables. The style complements the cozy, collected Nancy Meyers aesthetic and encourages mixing different heights and shapes for a curated display. Brand-new hurricanes can be costly, but thrift stores, flea markets, and secondhand shops frequently offer affordable options. Hurricanes can also serve as vases, and paired pillar candles complete versatile, budget-friendly decor arrangements.
