In this part of the video, Hannah introduces the theme of decorating with five essential home decor items styled in five different ways. She emphasizes the importance of using items you already have to refresh your home decor, rather than buying new items. The first essential item is a candle. Hannah suggests using a candle cloche, which she found at Hobby Lobby, to elevate the look of the candle and make it safer for homes with children. Additionally, she recommends styling with two candles of different sizes from the same brand and scent, like her example with Casa Luna candles, to create a cohesive and stylish display.

A simple yet effective approach is setting candles on a stack of coffee table books with accessories like match clokes and snuffers.

Key styling tips include using them in the kitchen for fruits and vegetables, adding bowl fillers like wooden spheres or potpourri for a decorative touch, placing them on sideboards or console tables for added style, employing them in bathrooms to hold hand soaps or rolled towels for a luxurious spa-like feel, and using them as a catch-all at drop stations for keys and other items while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
