If you’re craving a bit of ‘will they, won’t they’ tension in your home life, decorating your surfaces with sculptural candles might be just what you need. Why? Because it’s like having a crush, you see. You look at them, admire them and maybe even flatter them occasionally, but there’s always a question of taking the next step. In this case, that would be striking a match and burning the wick or leaving them be. We’d usually opt for the latter. They are considered art, after all.

So, where do you find the temptresses of home decor (aka sculptural candles)? We suggest looking at locally pouring small businesses like Studio McKenna. The Melbourne-based brand specialises in handmade burnables that will add a touch of luxury and fine art to your living spaces. They have over 80 unique pieces to shop, admire and place on your bedside, bookshelf or dining table.

From gorgeous Greek-style statues to styles with a rattan twist, each of them is carefully poured and finished in soy wax. Ahead, we’ve picked our favourites from the collection to create a mini art exhibit in your own home.
