Shop Candles for Home Décor, Scented Candles & Decorative Candle Jars

The right candle can completely transform a room, its ambience, and even the mood of the people in it. It also gives people a glimpse of your style before a single word is uttered. The problem, of course, is selecting the right candle for its fragrant, aesthetic, and long-lasting value, which is much harder than it looks. Browse our candle collection, which includes scented candles for relaxation, decorative candles, and candle jars for a modern space.

Explore Our Collection of Candles

We have candles in three distinct categories: scented, decorative, and candle jars. All of them have their own specific purposes and uses. Whether you need candles for daily use or for a specific purpose, this collection offers a wide range of options.

Decorative Candles to Elevate Home Interiors

Decorative candles offer visual appeal and functionality. Our decorative candles offer sculptural details, texture, and colour schemes that fit well in contemporary and transitional settings. You can use them on sideboards, bookshelves, dining tables, and entryways, wherever you need a visual detail.

Elegant Candle Jars for Modern Spaces

If you need candle jars, they offer functionality and form. Our candle jars offer a protective case for the flame, a concentrated fragrance throw, and a decorative piece when the candle is over. Our candle jars offer clean lines and neutral finishes, making them suitable for minimalist, Scandinavian, and modern classic styles.

Why Choose Luxe Home International Candles

Our candles are for buyers who expect fragrance and design performance from a single candle, without compromise. Our candles are based on three product standards: scent accuracy, design coherence, and burn longevity.

Premium Fragrance Experience

Our collection of fragrant candlehasve a high fragrance load. Fragrance load is the ratio of fragrance oils to wax. It is the single most important factor in determining a candle's performance. A fragrance load of over 8-10% is considered the minimum for a candle to throw a strong scent throw in a standard room. Our fragrant candles have a fragrance load that meets this standard, providing consistent fragrance from the first hour of burn to the last.

Long-Lasting Burn & Quality Wax

The burn time of a candle is important when assessing its value for money. Our candles use high-quality waxes, including paraffin and blended waxes. Our waxes have been selected for their even burn and consistent fragrance release. 

A well-made candle will burn cleanly, without tunnelling, and will maintain its fragrance throw over multiple burn cycles. Look for candles that have their burn time listed on the product. This will enable you to compare products effectively when assessing their value for money.

Candles for Every Space and Occasion

There are various spaces and events where different kinds of candles are needed. The range of candles we offer is quite broad, catering to your daily needs, seasonal decorations, and gifting without having to go to different sources.

Candles for Living Rooms and Home Décor

For the living room, candles that balance visual impact and fragrance strength are appropriate. The following kinds of candles can be used to decorate a living room:

• For coffee tables, consoles, or other surfaces, pillar candles or decorative sculpted candles

• For shelving, side tables, or other surfaces, candle jars with a contained flame, a clean appearance, and a good balance of visual impact and fragrance strength

• For spaces where fragrance strength is of less importance, decorative candles with no fragrance

• For spaces where a woody or amber fragrance creates a cosy atmosphere, scented candles with woody or amber fragrances

Bedroom & Relaxation Candles

For the bedroom, a lighter touch of fragrance is needed. Too much overpowering fragrance in a sleeping area can interfere with sleep. Scented candles in lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, or light floral fragrances are popular in sleep hygiene routines. The candle jar is a popular choice for the bedroom as it eliminates the risk of drips and ensures a stable flame.

Candles for Gifting and Special Moments

Decorative candles and candle jars are among the most reliable gift options on the market, regardless of demographics. A 2023 report by the National Candle Association stated that 35% of candle sales in the United States are for gifts. Our decorative candles and candle jars are popular as gifts for housewarming parties, birthdays, festivals, and corporate events.

How to Choose the Right Candle

Essentially, the right candle is determined by three factors: smell, appearance, and vessel. Therefore, the right candle works twice as hard in the space.

Selecting the Perfect Scent

Fragrant candles belong to four primary fragrance families: fresh, floral, woody, and gourmand. Therefore, it is essential to match the fragrance family to the room's use. For instance, fresh and floral scents work well in the bathroom and kitchen, while woody and gourmand scents work well in the living room and bedroom.

Candle Jars vs Decorative Sculpted Candles

Decorative sculpted candles offer a self-contained, low-maintenance solution, and their fragrance is contained and efficient. They work well as unlit display items and as secondary-use statements. Therefore, the right candle depends on the need at hand. For instance, the right candle for fragrance performance is a jar candle, while the right candle for a visual statement with a burning option is a sculpted decorative candle with a burn time rating.

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between scented candles and decorative candles?

Scented candles are made so they release fragrance as they burn. Therefore, scented candles are functional candles. Decorative candles, on the other hand, are made with appearance in mind. They can be scented or unscented and are used as decorative pieces in home decor. There could be candles that have both qualities. It is always advisable to check the product description before making a purchase.

Q2: How long do candle jars typically burn compared to pillar candles?

Candle jars tend to burn longer compared to open-format pillar candles of the same weight. This is because the heat is concentrated in the wax as it melts in the jar. This helps prevent fragrance evaporation. A standard candle jar of 200-250g has a burn time of 40-60 hours. Pillar candles of the same weight tend to burn for 35-50 hours, but could burn unevenly in draughty areas. It is always advisable to check the burn time on the label before making a purchase.

Q3: What wax type is best for scented candles?

The best wax for scented candles varies depending on your specific needs. Soy wax, which is a plant-based wax, has a clean-burning profile with good fragrance retention. Paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based, has a strong initial scent throw, which makes it popular among manufacturers of scented candles. Blended waxes, which are made from a combination of paraffin, soy, or coconut waxes, are designed to provide a balance of good scent throw and clean-burning performance.

Q4: How do I choose the right scented candle for a bedroom?

For the bedroom, select scented candles with lighter fragrances, such as lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, or floral scents. These scents are generally associated with relaxation and are less likely to be stimulating or disrupt sleep. Avoid strong scents with gourmand, spicy, or other strong characteristics, as they are generally more stimulating. Candle jars are a good choice for scented candles used in the bedroom, as they contain drips and provide a stable base for the flame when sitting on a bedside table.

Q5: Are decorative candles meant to be burned or just displayed?

A decorative candle can fulfil these functions, but this would depend on the candle. If it is a sculptural decorative candle, it cannot be burned, as it would ruin the design. However, if it is a regular decorative candle, it would be in the form of a pillar or column and would have a burn time. If the burn time is not indicated, it would be intended as a display candle. If the burn time is indicated, it would be intended for use.
