Your home is a reflection of your personality, and scent is the invisible layer that ties it all together. Just like furniture or paint colors, your candle fragrances should complement your space, not clash with it. Whether you’re a minimalist, a boho dreamer, or somewhere in between, we’re breaking down how to match candle scents with your interior design style.

Bonus Tip: Layer With Intention
Layering your home fragrance (candles, wax melts, sprays) can enhance the aesthetic even more. Use one scent family throughout your space or switch it up by room to create intentional transitions — like citrus for kitchens and lavender for bedrooms.
