Lighting your favorite candles is a great way to practice self-care; the soothing scents and soft, warm glow engage multiple senses and remind us to slow down and savor every moment. Candles also make great home decor styling elements, especially when used as part of a vignette or as a special centerpiece. They’re relatively easy to find, too. Of course, just because they have aisle space in nearly every home decor store doesn’t mean they’re the right fit for your decor. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite creatively-designed scented candles. Make a statement with a uniquely designed candle that will be a home decor centerpiece.
Custom Scented Candles
Celebrate life’s favorite moments with a completely customizable scented candle. Available in a stylish glass jar, these scented candles feature three different fragrances: exotic vanilla bean, warm spice of life, and clean ocean breeze. Consider printing out a special family photo, your favorite digital art, or a quote you love. This custom scented candle would look great on a mantel and is a great option for special event styling, too.
Contrast Woodland Candle
With a creatively marbled exterior, a bowl-shaped candle will add a pop of color to your room or space. Royal blue, black, and white accents would fit perfectly in a living area with darker styling and would make a great addition to a bachelor pad or modern home. It also boasts an intoxicating fragrance—delight your senses with spicy vanilla notes and hints of forest pine and warm spices, too.
Enjoy a warm, musky scent that will fill your home with underlying whispers of spice and forest scents. This style candle also makes a great gift for your partner or son, too!
Skull Candle
A scented skull candle elevates creative candle designs. Choose from a speckled or white snake exterior detailed with gold or silver skulls. We love the way this type of candle combines and contrasts elements of the natural with the unnatural, for a unique take on gothic-inspired decor with fragrance notes of sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, frankincense, and myrrh.

Monster Incense Burner
A whimsical scented candle design is anything but ordinary. From the creative minds of Los Angeles-based artists Simon and Nikolai Haas, the Monster Incense Burner creature marries fantastical whimsy with high-quality finish and function. Place your favorite incense sticks in the holder attached to the monster’s feet and watch as the smoke spills delicately out of its mouth.
