🍂 How to Pick the Right Candle for Your Home This Fall

Fall is here, and with it comes cozy nights, warm drinks, and the perfect excuse to refresh your home with inviting seasonal scents. But with so many candle options, how do you choose the right one for your space? Let’s break it down by mood, room, and fragrance style, plus a few of our favorite Shine & Love candles for the season.

🍂Think About the Mood You Want to Create

Different scents can completely change the feel of a room.

Warm & Cozy: If you want your living room to feel like a snug retreat, look for scents with notes of chai, cinnamon, or amber.

Fresh & Uplifting: Kitchens and entryways shine with citrus, pine, or crisp forest blends.

Romantic & Relaxing: Bedrooms pair beautifully with soft florals and smooth woodsy notes.

👉🏼Try our Sweet Chai Latte Candle for that perfect “cozy blanket and book” vibe.

🍂 Match the Candle to the Room Size

  • Small Rooms: Go for lighter scents that don’t overwhelm, like citrus or herbal blends.

  • Large Spaces: Richer scents with wood, amber, or spice carry better across bigger areas.

  • Bathrooms: Fresh, clean fragrances like eucalyptus or bright forest notes are ideal.

👉🏼Our Bright Forest Candle brings a refreshing outdoor touch that’s perfect for open spaces or bathrooms that need a spa-like feel.

🍂 Choose Seasonal Scents That Tell a Story

Fall is all about grounding, comforting aromas that remind us of gatherings, gratitude, and slowing down. Seasonal candles also make perfect gifts.

👉🏼Our Miracle Apple Cider Candle combines nutmeg, apple, orange peel, vanilla, clove for a bold autumn statement piece that feels both strong and inviting.

🍂 Final Tip: Layer Your Scents

Don’t be afraid to use different candles in different rooms. A chai-inspired scent in the living room, a forest blend in the bathroom, and a warm amber in the bedroom can make your whole home feel intentional and cozy this fall.
