20 Stylish Body Candles To Admire On Your Coffee Table
Your shelfie game just got 100% better
We've all seen the body candle trend that's been everywhere on our socials this past couple of years – and our love for it remains strong. Now we're back working from home more, our interiors should get a little refresher to make them spaces we're going to enjoy spending a little more time in again. So, if you haven't already, now is definitely the time to invest in the highly Instagrammable finishing touch for your coffee table or #shelfie.
While candles are usually for burning, given these candles' stunning form we actually wouldn't recommend lighting these for a while so you can admire their beauty. Besides, most of the candles are on the smaller side, with a burn time of around one hour. We advise placing yours on a pretty decorative tray (we like this marble one from The White Company and this set of two glam gold numbers from West Elm), and enjoy them as objects in their own right.
Here are 20 of our favourite body candles we've spotted for your bathroom shelf, your dressing table and for close friends:
Celebrate all body shapes and sizes with these cuties.
A body candle is great, sure, but a set of four gorgeous sculptural candles you can style on your shelf or coffee table is better. You can choose from a range of scents and colours, too.
MinniesMeltsStudio - £10.00
This one comes finished with a splash of gold – very luxe.
Get involved with the pastel interiors trend with these beauties.
Belle Nous - £18.00
Our final curvy pick, from one of the original body candle purveyors, Belle Nous, in these elegant nude shades.
This one's much larger than average at 35cm – and it's scented with myrrh, so it'll make your room smell amazing (if you can bear to burn it, that is).
Belle Nous - £18.00
This pretty pregnant lady candle would make a lovely gift for a friend who's expecting.
Who doesn't appreciate a good bum? This is pricey, but it is huge, and the triple wick means it'll create a lovely ambience while burning.
Pair this with a tall vase of white flowers and some stylish coffee table books for a perfectly Instagrammable display.
This male bust is on the large side, so there's more of him to enjoy.
These gold leaf body candles will make your mantelpiece or side table look a little more expensive.
Or for something chic, minimal and always classy, this natural soy Aphrodite version is the one to go for.
Here's a mega stylised option, for those looking for something a little different from the usual body candles.
These would look so good placed on your bathroom cabinet.
This set gives you a David bust to keep your Venus company.
Choose any combo of these four bodies (or all of them!) to create your perfect set – or give the others away as gifts.
This male figure has a wooden wick, which creates a lovely crackling sound as the candle burns. Very atmospheric.
Another one with a wooden wick here; this time with pretty love hearts all over. A great Galentines day gift for your BFF.
Look, we know this is extremely extra, but if you really want to give your home a bit of maximalist pizzazz, a massive Napoleon wax bust is certainly one way to do it.
We've also spotted this huge, bright orange Artemis, too. Imagine this on the top of your home bar or side table? Just saying.
