Our Stylist Says
I love this Paddywax Checkmate candle for its understated yet striking design, making it a versatile piece that can elevate various interior styles. Its checkerboard pattern and soft colour palette work particularly well in modern, minimal, or coastal interiors, where it can add a touch of subtle pattern without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include placing it on a bedside table or coffee table as a relaxed centrepiece, or grouping it with other textural accessories like ceramics or plants for a curated look. Its compact size makes it suitable for smaller spaces or as part of a layered vignette, bringing warmth and a gentle aroma to any room.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
