The right candle doesn’t just light up a room… it transforms it. At Suki Home, we believe scent is just as important as design. A well-chosen candle scent can set the mood, refresh the air, and even boost your wellbeing. But with so many options, how do you choose the best candle scents for each room in your home?

Candle Scents to Suit Every Room in Your Home

We’ve curated the ultimate guide to help you pair candle scents with living spaces, so your home feels inviting, balanced, and beautifully styled.

Living Room: Warm and Welcoming Scents

The living room is where we relax, entertain, and connect, so its scent should feel both inviting and versatile. Opt for candles with woody, amber, or soft floral notes that create warmth and coziness.

Try pairing with stylish shapes like The Wavy Pillar Candle for a modern touch.

Suki Home Recommended Living Room Scents:

• Sandalwood
• Vanilla
• Tobacco mixed with Vanilla, Lavender etc.

Bedroom: Calming and Restorative Scents

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest and relaxation. The best candle scents here are calming and restorative, encouraging deep sleep and peace.

A sculptural candle like the Body Candle Collection makes a beautiful bedside styling accent.

Kitchen: Fresh and Clean Scents

Kitchens benefit from scents that feel fresh, clean, and uplifting. Citrus-based scents are ideal as they help neutralise food odours while keeping the space bright and energised.
