The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Candle for Your Space

Whether you're curating a cozy reading book, planning a romantic dinner, or just trying to elevate your self-care routine, the right candle can set the mood instantly. But with so many types, scents, and styles available, how do you choose the perfect candle for your space?

At Melted, we believe candles are more than decor - they’re experiences wrapped in wax. This guide will help you navigate through scent profiles, wick types, vessel styles, and candle intentions to find your ideal match.

1. Consider the Purpose of the Space

Each space in your home serves a different function, and the candle you choose should reflect that.

For Living Rooms: Go for warm, welcoming scents like vanilla, amber, cinnamon, or woodsy blends. Try: Melted’s Campfire Romance Candle – its smoky warmth is perfect for cozy conversations or movie nights.

For Bedrooms: You want calming, soft aromas to help you unwind. Try: Diamond Crystal Jar Candle with its elegant vessel and relaxing notes.

For Bathrooms or Spas: Crisp, refreshing, and floral scents create a clean and tranquil environment. Try: Alluring Rose Bar Soap paired with the Rose Repose Foot Soak for the ultimate self-care moment.

For Workspaces: Choose invigorating scents like citrus, mint, eucalyptus, or coffee to stay alert and energized. Try: Vanilla Latte Candle – soothing vanilla meets the kick of coffee, minus the caffeine crash.

2. Choose the Right Scent Profile

Your personal preference matters, but so does the size and purpose of your room.

Scent Type	Best For
Floral (Rose, Jasmine)	Bedrooms, bathrooms
Woody (Sandalwood, Patchouli)	Living rooms, meditation corners
Citrus (Orange, Bergamot)	Kitchens, workspaces
Gourmand (Vanilla, Coffee, Cocoa)	Bedrooms, cozy corners

Pro Tip: For Delhi’s humid monsoon months, lighter and fresher scents like Mandarin or Peach are ideal to combat stuffiness.

3. Don’t Ignore the Candle Type

• Single-wick vs. Multi-wick: Multi-wick candles offer a stronger scent throw and brighter flame - great for large spaces.

• Soy Wax: All Melted candles are made with natural soy wax, which burns cleaner, lasts longer, and is non-toxic.

• Decorative Candles: Opt for visually appealing vessels if your candle will be part of your home aesthetic.

Try: Nazar Blocker Candle – doubles as decor and energy protector!

4. Match Aesthetics with Function

At Melted, we believe wellness begins with beauty. That’s why our products don’t just smell good — they look good.

• If your space is minimalist, go for clean glass jars or soft-toned ceramics.

• For a boho or eclectic vibe, pick candles with embellishments or bold colors.

• If you're planning to gift, sets like our Spa Soiree Satchel make the ideal choice — thoughtful, stylish, and purposeful.

  
  

5. Mind the Size

Larger rooms need bigger candles or multiple smaller ones. Use this rule of thumb: 1 candle per 100 sq ft is a good start for subtle scent diffusion.

6. Don’t Forget Ambient Companions

Enhance your candle ritual with complementing products:

• Reed Diffusers for constant background aroma (Try: Peach and Vanilla).

• Wardrobe Fresheners for fresh-smelling linens.

• Soaks and Soaps to create a full sensory escape.

7. Final Thoughts: Candle with Intention

Your candle shouldn’t just smell good - it should say something. About your style. Your energy. Your mood. Whether it’s for rituals, relaxation, or romance, Melted has a handcrafted candle designed to speak your language.
