How to Choose the Right Candle Size for Your Room (UK Guide)

How to Choose the Right Candle Size for Your Room (UK Guide)

When it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere in your home, a scented candle can do wonders from adding warmth and ambience to filling your space with a soothing fragrance. But one question many candle lovers in the UK overlook is: What candle size is right for your room?

At Warmhuts Decor, we hand-pour our premium soy wax candles in three elegant sizes The Jar (130g), The Classic (160g), and The Luxe (250g). Each one is crafted with care in London using cruelty-free, eco-friendly materials and no plastic packaging. Here’s how to choose the perfect candle size for your space and make the most of its scent throw and burn time.

1. For Small Spaces – Go for the 130g Jar Candle

If you’re looking to elevate smaller rooms such as bathrooms, home offices, or cosy bedrooms, our Jar size candle (130g) is ideal.
With a gentle yet noticeable fragrance throw, this size fills intimate areas beautifully without overwhelming them.

Recommended scents:

  • Ambre Breeze – A light, sweet blend of fresh pear, jasmine, and vanilla that adds freshness without heaviness.

  • Whispering Woods – Tranquil and woody, perfect for a calming workspace.

Why it works: Smaller candles burn evenly and are best suited for quick relaxation sessions or short daily burns (1–2 hours).

2. For Medium-Sized Rooms – The Classic 160g Candle

Living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces benefit from a mid-sized candle that offers a balanced scent throw and burn time.
Our Classic 160g candle delivers a stronger aroma and up to 35 hours of burn time ideal for cosy evenings or entertaining guests.

Recommended scents:

  • Tropical Muse – Fruity and floral, with amber, peach, and passionfruit for a refreshing vibe.

  • Luminous Bloom – A graceful floral musk with patchouli, lily, and bergamot for everyday elegance.

Tip: For open-plan UK homes, try placing two Classics at opposite ends of a room to create even scent diffusion.

3. For Large Rooms or Statement Pieces – The Luxe 250g Candle

If you have a spacious lounge, open kitchen, or master bedroom, go big with our Luxe 250g candle.
Its larger wax pool releases fragrance faster and fills wide spaces with depth and richness. Plus, it makes a stunning centrepiece for tables or shelves.

Recommended scents:

  • Exotic Oud – Rich, sophisticated notes of bergamot, vanilla, and oud.

  • Sunkissed Dream – Tranquil and exotic with soft peach, coconut, and amber perfect for summer evenings.

Pro tip: For ultimate ambience, light your Luxe candle for 3–4 hours at a time to achieve an even melt pool and maximise scent longevity.
