20 Colourful Candles To Brighten Your Home

Colourful candles are all the rage at the moment. Long gone are the days of plain white dinner candles or simple tea lights being the only go-to dinner party accessory. We have entered the era of the wildly colourful candle – and the more unusual the shape, the better.

It's unsurprising given they are an excellent quick and easy way to inject a burst of colour into your home, and more of us are embracing colour and buying decor to spark joy over anything else.

Place a couple of eye-popping beauties on your dinner table to make your evening more special. Tall, tapered candles but upgraded with bright colour, bold pattern, and a tactile texture, are the perfect twist on the traditional. Or, opt for a chunkier, more abstract-shaped candle to stand alone on a mantelpiece or side table, providing the ultimate eye-catching centrepiece. It's an easy way to transform gloomy corners into utterly Instagramable nooks.
