How to Choose the Right Candle Size for Your Space

The right candle doesn’t just scent a room—it transforms it. From setting the tone for a restful night to creating an inviting atmosphere for guests, candles are about more than fragrance; they’re about experience. But here’s something many don’t realize: the size of your candle matters just as much as the fragrance itself.

At IncluScent, our candles are thoughtfully designed to complement different spaces in your home. Whether you’re looking to bring cozy comfort to your bedroom or add elegance to your living room, here’s your guide to choosing between our 10 oz and 12 oz candles.

Why Candle Size Matters

Candle size impacts something called fragrance throw—how far and how well a scent spreads through a space.

• In smaller rooms, a candle that’s too strong can overwhelm the senses.
  
  
• In larger rooms, a candle that’s too small might not carry enough fragrance.
  
  

Choosing the right size ensures your space feels balanced, comforting, and exactly as you want it to.

 

The 10 oz Candle – Cozy & Balanced

Our 10 oz candle is the perfect choice for bedrooms, home offices, and moderate-size rooms. With its balanced fragrance throw, it envelops your space in warmth without overwhelming it.

Hand-poured into a chic glass vessel, this candle doesn’t stop being useful once the flame fades. When your candle is finished, the vessel can be upcycled as a drinking glass—a subtle touch of sustainability that extends its life well beyond the burn.

Perfect for winding down with a book, enjoying a self-care night, or setting the tone for restful sleep.

 

The 12 oz Candle – Spacious & Strong

For larger rooms and most open-concept spaces, our 12 oz candle is the way to go. With its fuller fragrance throw, it fills your space with scent and ambiance that feels expansive yet elegant.

This candle is poured into the timeless vessel —crafted from thick, sturdy glass that radiates both durability and style. And once your candle has finished burning, the vessel’s second life begins: reuse it as a drinking glass, a cotton ball jar, a pencil cup, or a chic holder for makeup brushes.

Ideal for hosting friends, relaxing family nights, or making your living room feel like a boutique hotel.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Candle

• Let it pool: Always allow your candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel—this prevents tunneling.
  
  
• Trim your wick: Keep your wooden wick trimmed to ⅛ inch before each burn for the cleanest flame and best crackle.
  
  
• Placement matters: Place candles away from open windows or vents to keep the scent throw even and consistent.
  
  

At IncluScent, we believe lighting a candle should be more than just fragrance—it’s a ritual. 

 

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right candle size isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating the atmosphere you deserve. Whether it’s the cozy embrace of the 10 oz or the elevated presence of the 12 oz, both are designed with intention, care, and sustainability in mind.

Because at IncluScent, we believe that rest isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
