How Interior Designers Use Scented Candles to Elevate Home Spaces

December 18, 2023

You walk into a beautifully designed room, and it’s not just what your eyes catch, it’s the way the place feels. That’s the magic right there.

Honestly, more and more interior designers are vibing hard with scented soy candles as part of their creative game plan.At Nky Chic Candle Co., we’re all about that secret sauce: scent. It’s what takes a room from “nice” to “never wanna leave.” Turns a plain old house into your personal retreat, and a cute look into a full-on experience.

Let’s break down how designers use our NYC-inspired candles to boost mood, dial-up personality, and sprinkle a little luxury in every corner.

1. Setting the Mood with Scent

Every space tells a story, and scents are what give it a soundtrack. Designers know fragrance can shift the vibe as much as a killer rug or those perfect curtains.

Need to wake up your mornings? Try Sunday Skyline, think, guava, and lime, seriously energizing. Want that cozy café moment in your reading nook? Mocha MoMA is basically a warm hug. Our candle lineup lets designers curate all the feels, matching the mood to the moment.

Because of real design? It’s about what you sense, not just what you see.

2. Adding a Personal Touch

Cookie-cutter design? Nope. Scent lets you get personal.

Candles are the designer’s trick for adding a signature touch. Minimalist, eclectic, classic whatever your client’s vibe, there’s a scent that fits. Manhattan Magic for that timeless class, Brooklyn Vibes for bold and spicy, our fragrances are another tool in the kit, right up there with paint color or wallpaper.

3. Masking the Not-So-Chic Stuff

Let’s be real, even the prettiest room can get funky. Pets, takeout leftovers, old shoes in the hall closet you name it.

Scented candles are a sneaky way to keep things fresh. Our soy candles don’t just cover up, they swap out the meh with something clean and curated. So your place smells as good as it looks, promise.

4. Creating Design-Worthy Focal Points

Do you want a statement piece that doesn’t scream for attention? Hello, candle.

With our minimalist packaging and sleek glass jars, Nky Chic candles double as decor. Style one on your entryway table, group a few on a tray, or pop one into that awkward bathroom nook. Suddenly, the whole space feels…elevated.

5. Designing for All the Senses

A top-tier room isn’t just a feast for your eyes, it’s got to hit the other senses, too.

That’s why scent is so underrated. Designers who use fragrance aren’t just decorating; they’re creating full-on experiences. Since smell is tied to memory and emotion, our candles help make your place totally unforgettable.

Final Thoughts: Style Meets Scent

Every Nky Chic Candle Co. candle is hand-poured, loaded with NYC-inspired scents, and made to bring a little “wow” to your space.

So whether you’re working on a client’s project or just giving your own place a little love, don’t skip the fragrance. It’s the design detail nobody sees, but everyone remembers.
