At The Muses London, we believe beauty should last forever. That’s why we chose to pour our candles into pure brass containers. Not only do they look seriously chic (hello, interiors envy), but brass is also infinitely recyclable—meaning it can be repurposed again and again, for generations to come. Pretty impressive, right? Even glass can’t make that claim.

But before it embarks on its next journey, we think your brass vessel deserves a little more love—and a new life—right in your home. So, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite ways to give your empty candle jar a glow-up while keeping that aesthetic you adored.

1. The Perfect Match Jar

Always searching for a lighter when it’s time to set the mood? Us too. Give your finished, cleaned-out Muses container a new role: a chic home for long matches. Place it near your favourite candle for a seamless light-up ritual. 

2. Your New Key Holder

Keys… where are the keys? If that’s your daily question, here’s your answer: the Muses brass jar. Pop it by the front door as a stylish catch-all for keys, sunglasses, and other essentials. Practical? Yes. A conversation starter? Absolutely.

Loose change seems to have a life of its own—found in bags, coat pockets, and down the sofa. Keep it all in one place by repurposing your brass vessel. Pop it on a hallway shelf or side table and watch the pennies pile up. By Christmas, you might just have enough for a little extra treat…

Let’s talk bathroom shelves: clean lines, beautiful details, no clutter. Use your brass candle vessel to store cotton rounds—or better yet, reusable ones. Functional and fabulous? That’s a win in our book.

Nothing says cosy like fairy lights. Drop a battery-powered string into your brass jar, and let the golden tones bounce light around your space. It’s the ultimate mood-setter for dark evenings and relaxing nights in.

Bring a little nature indoors. Your Muses brass jar makes the perfect mini flower pot or herb planter. Add a layer of small stones for drainage, fill with soil, and pot your favourite blooms or kitchen herbs. Wildflowers are a lovely, low-maintenance choice—and they’ll look stunning catching the light on a windowsill.

We’re big believers in taking time for yourself. Use your vessel to hold love notes to you. Write down positive affirmations, your goals, or things that bring you joy. On tough days, pull one out for a little boost of inspiration.

Running out of inspiration for weekend fun? Let the Muses jar become your family’s imagination station. Write down activity ideas—indoor games, day trips, DIY crafts—and pop them into the jar. When it’s time to decide, pick one out at random and jump straight in. No debates, no overthinking—just spontaneous fun.

Your workspace deserves a little luxury too. Use your brass vessel to store pens, pencils, or even makeup brushes. A beautiful desk makes work feel less like a chore and more like a vibe. Plus, every glance at the jar will remind you of those calm, candle-lit moments.

Succulents, cacti, herbs… your Muses brass jar makes a stylish new home for any small plant. Perfect for the kitchen windowsill, your desk, or even the bathroom. Sustainable and stunning—a match made in design heaven.

Here’s where form meets function. Your beautiful brass vessel can effortlessly become a luxurious home diffuser—thanks to our lid design and our diffuser refill! Once your candle has burned through, clean the vessel, add your favourite diffuser refill, and pop the lid back on. The brass container not only looks exquisite but also keeps the fragrance gently diffusing throughout your space. A stylish scent solution? We thought so.

So there you have it—11 simple ways to give your Muses candle vessel the second life it deserves. Stylish, sustainable, and oh-so-useful, these little jars are designed to stick around… just like the memories they help create.
