How to Style Statement Candles

From Butter to Heirloom Tomato, Make Your Home Glow

Candles aren’t just for lighting a room — they’re mood-makers, conversation starters, and tiny works of art. At MARILU, our candle collection is all about combining elegance with a playful wink, turning everyday spaces into moments worth savoring. From the Butter Candle to the Heirloom Tomato Candle, there’s a sculptural candle for every corner of your home. 🍞🍅🕯️

Here’s how to style statement candles so they become the main attraction in your decor.


1. Kitchen Counter Whimsy

Why should your kitchen be boring? Place a Butter Candle or Garlic Candle on a chic tray alongside olive oils, fresh herbs, or your favorite cookbooks. It’s unexpected, charming, and totally Instagram-worthy.

Style tip: Pair it with a bowl of fresh produce or a small vase of flowers to amplify the playful, artisanal vibe.

2. Dining Table Drama

Swap plain tapers for bold statement candles. The Heirloom Tomato Candle, Mandarin Candle, or Chili Pepper Candle instantly sparks conversation at dinner.

Style tip: Arrange on a wooden or marble board, mixing in natural textures like linen napkins or hand-thrown pottery for a centerpiece that balances humor with sophistication.

3. Coffee Table Chic

Your living room deserves more than just remotes and coasters. Try the Large Avocado Candle, Durian Candle, or Swiss Cheese Candle alongside art books or a sculptural tray. These playful shapes bring personality without sacrificing style.

Style tip: Group candles in odd numbers for visual interest — a set of three Lemon Candles or a trio of Mixed Berry Candles feels curated but casual.

4. Bedroom Personality

Even nightstands deserve a pop of character. Sculptural candles like the Egg Candle Set or Orange Candle add warmth, texture, and a touch of whimsy to your evening routine.

Style tip: Keep it simple: a single candle paired with a minimal vase or a small stack of books creates a cozy, intentional vignette.
