Home Furnishings and Decorations

Features and types

The selection of home décor accessories available at L'Arcolaio covers four main categories: candles and candleholders, diffusers and fragrances, artificial flowers and plants, decorative vases. Below is an in-depth look at each one.

Scented and decorative candles

The EDG Enzo De Gasperi candles are the heart of the category. The Jasmine and Ming lines offer candles in glass containers with fragrances such as Nordic Vetiver, Amber, Pineapple & Coconut e Black Forest. The L'Ove line stands out for its egg shape (H 12 cm, D 8 cm) and fragrances Moroccan Rose, Peony & Cassis, Ginger & Warm, Fig & Gardenia e Waterlilly & Rose: a refined format, suitable as a gift.

Duration depends on the weight of the candle: smaller formats (65–105 g) reach 8–20 hours of flame, medium ones (160–210 g) around 20–30 hours, large formats (310 g) over 30 hours. The EDG tealight candles in a pack of 50 are ideal for dinner table settings or for decorating spaces in a diffused way.

For those who prefer to avoid open flames — with children or pets in the home — LED candles are available with flickering flame effect and remote control: same visual atmosphere, zero risk.

The ARPIMEX candles in glass jar (D 8.5 cm, H 10 cm) have a dual function: decoration and party favour for weddings, christenings or communions.

Room diffusers and refills

Reed diffusers allow continuous fragrance without ignition. The Lux EDG refills of 1 litre (fragrance Tonka Clove) allow you to refill containers already in use, reducing waste. Formats ranging from 60 ml to 2,200 ml cover different needs: a small format for the bathroom, a large one for the living room. To intensify diffusion, simply turn the reeds every 2–3 days.

Muhà fabric fragrance

I Muhà fabric fragrance in concentrated 400 ml bottles offer a wide range of essences: Dolce Coccola, Cotton Flowers, Capri Breeze, Linen and Cotton, Sweet Vanilla and eleven other fragrances. The paraben-free formula is effective at reduced dosages, making it economical in the long term. Use in the washing machine or directly on wardrobes and drawers.

EDG artificial flowers and plants

I EDG tulip bouquets in Olis rubber material (H 28–48 cm) have soft-touch petals resistant to UV rays: they can be used both indoors and in protected outdoor spaces. Available colours include red, yellow, white, pink and black. The Phalaenopsis orchids in real-touch material (branches H 76–85 cm or arrangements with vase H 53 cm) are suitable for entrances and bedrooms where natural light is scarce.

Decorative glass and ceramic vases

I EDG Enzo De Gasperi vases range from geometric shapes — such as the Rombi Vase (H 19 cm, D 11 cm) in transparent glass — to the more striking Sphere Vase (H 20 cm, D 23 cm) in white frosted glass, suitable as a scenographic element on shelves and sideboards. Materials include transparent glass, coloured glass (blue, green, ochre, teal) and waterproof ceramic for use with fresh flowers.

How to choose the right accessories for each room

Living and entrances: choose reed diffusers with woody or spicy fragrances (Black Pepper, Tonka Clove) paired with a decorative vase in frosted glass like the Sphere Vase. For a dynamic effect, add an EDG artificial tulip bouquet in a vivid colour.

Bedroom: L'Ove candles with floral fragrances (Moroccan Rose, Waterlilly & Rose) create atmosphere without being intrusive. The egg shape stands on its own on a bedside table without needing a candleholder.

Bathroom: favour small diffuser formats (60–100 ml) with fresh or marine notes. Artificial flowers in real-touch material resist moisture better than those made from fabric.

Table and special occasions: EDG tealights in a pack of 50 work well with mirror-base stands in gold or silver glass (D 25 cm) for dinner settings. ARPIMEX candles in glass jars also work as party favours for weddings or christenings, with coordinated packaging already included.

Gift and party favours: EDG L'Ove candles and ARPIMEX candles are packaged in a gift box: useful as place cards or as gifts for communions, confirmations and graduations.

For outdoor accessories, also check out the selection of outdoor furnishings – L'Arcolaio, or the Bizzotto outdoor furnishings and pergolas for those who want to extend the style to the garden or terrace as well.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about home décor accessories

How long does an EDG scented candle last?

Duration depends on the weight of the wax: small formats (65–105 g) of the Jasmine and Ming lines last 8–20 hours, medium ones (160–210 g) around 20–30 hours, large ones (310 g) over 30 hours. To extend the life of the candle, blow out the flame after 3–4 consecutive hours and trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting.

How do you use a reed diffuser correctly?

Insert the reeds into the bottle and let the liquid rise through capillarity in the first few hours. The more reeds you insert, the more intense the diffusion, but the duration decreases. Turning the reeds every 2–3 days maintains constant fragrance. The 1-litre EDG refills allow you to refill the container without changing it.

Can EDG artificial flowers be used outdoors?

Tulip bouquets in Olis material are UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. In case of heavy rain, it is advisable to shelter them temporarily. Phalaenopsis orchids in real-touch are designed mainly for indoor or covered outdoor spaces.

How to clean glass vases and candleholders?

Warm water and mild detergent, drying with a soft cloth. To remove wax residue, lightly heat the glass with hot water and remove the softened wax with paper towels. Avoid abrasive sponges on vases with decorative finishes (lines, diamonds, frosting).

Are ARPIMEX candles suitable as a wedding party favour?

Yes. ARPIMEX candles in glass jars (D 8.5 cm, H 10 cm) are indicated as party favours for weddings, christenings, communions and confirmations. The jar is already a standalone package, possibly customisable with ribbons or labels matched to the theme of the ceremony.
