I love finding any excuse to buy a gorgeous candle. I use candles all year round and love buying ones in beautiful containers that can be re-purposed afterwards.

If you want to support local design then try Marvel & Light, Melissa Louise or Stellenberg. And if you’re looking for statement candles, then look no further, I’ve rounded up a few faves…

Stellenberg has produced a gorgeous range of candles inspired by the fragrances in their gardens. There are currently three fragrances and are available from Pezula Interiors. 

Melissa Louise has created a lovely range of hand-made vegan scented candles. The two signature scents are Lemongrass and Ylang Ylang.

Pezula Interiors also stocks a selection of Skandinavisk candles, absolutely love the look of these.
