In 2025, home décor is all about calm, cozy living spaces that feel both stylish and personal. One of the most surprising (and beautiful) trends this year? Scented candles. More than just a fragrance, candles have become a key interior design element, adding warmth, elegance, and character to any room.
At Algarve Candle Co, we’ve seen how the right scent and design can completely transform a space—whether it’s a sunlit living room, a minimalist bedroom, or a cozy dinner table.
The Rise of Candles in Home Styling
Candles are no longer just for special occasions. In 2025, they’re being styled as everyday essentials, just like cushions or plants. Interior designers love them for three reasons:
- Ambience – A soft, flickering glow instantly creates a calming atmosphere.
- Fragrance – Scents influence mood, making your home feel welcoming and personal.
- Aesthetic – Minimalist jars and Japandi-inspired designs double as décor pieces.
Trending Candle Styles in 2025
Here are the candle styles making waves this year:
- Japandi & Minimalist Designs – Clean lines, neutral tones, and matte finishes (just like our Algarve Candle Co jars).
- Earthy & Natural Scents – Think Lemongrass & Ginger, Sea Salt & Sage, Fig & Cassis—inspired by nature.
- Statement Styling – Grouping multiple candles together to create a layered, editorial look.
Pairing Scents with Interior Spaces
Choosing the right fragrance for each room is the ultimate décor trick:
- Bedroom → Chamomile & Lavender for restful sleep.
- Bathroom → Sea Salt & Sage for a fresh, spa-like feel.
- Living Room → Fireside or Dark Honey & Smoked Wood for cozy evenings.
- Kitchen → Pastel de Nata or Coconut & Peach to complement the heart of the home.
How to Style Candles Like a Pro
- Place candles on ceramic trays or wooden boards for a curated look.
- Mix different heights for depth and visual interest.
- Pair with plants, books, or ceramics for an earthy, lifestyle-inspired display.
