Top Ikea candles to shop for an affordable cozy ambience
Craving coziness but don't want to spend a fortune? Ikea candles are the answer

Have you ever invested in Ikea candles? If the answer is no, you're missing out big time.
Sure, there are plenty of upscale, luxury options when it comes to the best scented candles (many of which are delicious, may we add), but we're not afraid to admit that sometimes, nothing beats the Swedish home and furniture brand's own cheap-and-cheerful offerings.
For starters, no one loves burning candles like Scandinavians. Not only is it a crucial part of their minimalistic home aesthetics, but the lovely wax lights are also essential to the art of a hygge home, a Danish term we know all about by now. (If you don't, think of it as a mood of overall coziness and relaxation—stuff like plush socks, woven blankets and, yes, twinkling candles.) Lighting a candle on a dark winter evening can feel like a warm, comforting hug, which is something we could all do with right now.
Then there's the gorgeous aroma a well scented candle can bring. Like a fragrance, it can whisk you away to a memorable moment or simply add an inviting atmosphere to your home. Try it for yourself by cozying up your house with these top Ikea candles.
