Candles are no longer just a source of light, they’ve become a centre piece in modern interior design. Whether you’re aiming for minimalist elegance or bold sculptural statements, the right candle shape can transform your living space. At Suki Home, we believe candles are both functional and decorative, and the right style can instantly elevate your home aesthetic.

Below are the five must-have candle shapes every modern home needs for a touch of personality, warmth, and style.

5 Must Have Candle Shapes!

Bubble Candles: Playful Modern Accents.

If you’re looking for funky candles that double as statement décor, Bubble Candles are a must. Their geometric design adds a playful twist to coffee tables, bookshelves, or sideboards. Available in mini sizes like the Mini Bubble Candle, they’re perfect for layering with other candles or styling in sets.

Styling Tip: Pair your Bubble Candles with neutral ceramics for a chic Scandinavian look.

Body Candles: Sculptural Elegance.

Nothing makes a statement quite like a Body Candle. These candles embrace the human form, turning everyday wax into art. They’re perfect for styling in modern, minimal homes or as a conversation starter in eclectic interiors.

From classic curves to bold masculine forms like the Sculpted Man Candle, these pieces add dimension and sophistication to any room.

Styling Tip: Place body candles on a candle tray to create a polished, styled look.

Wavy and Twisted Candles: A Trendy Touch.

Modern homes love a touch of movement, and nothing says trendy like Wavy Pillar Candles or twisted designs such as the Twist & Twirl Pillar Candle Combo. These candles add flow and personality, breaking away from traditional straight pillars.

Styling Tip: Mix and match heights and colours to create an eye-catching centre piece.

Pillar Candles: Timeless Classics

No candle collection is complete without the Pillar Candle. Loved for their versatility, pillar candles fit effortlessly into both modern and traditional homes. They can be styled solo for simplicity or grouped for dramatic effect.

Styling Tip: Use pillar candles in a mix of sizes for a layered, cozy look on dining tables or mantels.

Available in over four colours such as the classic white and bold orange versions, this candle lamp creates a warm, ambient glow that’s both stylish and practical.
