Charm requires only oil, a cotton wick, and a bottle. Everything else is customizable based on your personal preference. Even though the recipe doesn&#8217;t call for it, you can add your choice of essential oils to infuse the air with lake scents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re into modern aesthetics, you can use a simple jar, add your &#8220;lake&#8221; ingredients to your oil and wick setup, and you&#8217;re good to go. If vintage is more your style, take out Grandma&#8217;s old perfume bottle or one you found while thrifting, load it with your favorite ingredients, then top it off with oil before adding the wick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Materials:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small glass jars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A light oil such as olive or sunflower oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cotton wicks with fasteners (or floating wicks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decorative touches (think cinnamon sticks, dried oranges, cranberries, and rosemary)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bonus-diy-floating-lake-candle\">Bonus: DIY Floating Lake Candle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ChatGPT-Image-Nov-11-2025-12_36_39-PM-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ChatGPT-Image-Nov-11-2025-12_36_39-PM-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ChatGPT-Image-Nov-11-2025-12_36_39-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ChatGPT-Image-Nov-11-2025-12_36_39-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ChatGPT-Image-Nov-11-2025-12_36_39-PM.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, for those of you who prefer the route that requires the least amount of effort (not judging), this one&#8217;s for you. Have tea lights or floating candles lying around? Great! Now, grab a bowl and add your foraged items from the lakeside (i.e., pebbles, moss, twigs, etc.), then fill it up with water. If you&#8217;re going for the biophilic look, using a stone bowl is ideal. However, if you&#8217;re looking to maximize the glow of the candles, go with a glass bowl.

Oftentimes, this takes shape through incorporating nature-inspired furniture such as driftwood, adding biophilic elements to your living room, and using wallpaper tones that resemble the outdoors. However, visuals are not the only way to create a natural feel in your home. One often-overlooked way to \u201cbring the outdoors in&#8221; is through scent.
