These Soothing Candles for Your Bedroom Are Like Aromatic Lullabies

How you decorate your bedroom shapes the ambiance of your sleep space, and the energy of the room reflects in the quality of your slumber. So whether it’s cute, boho, shabby chic or art deco that you’re aiming for aesthetic-wise, think about what materials, light fixtures and scents help you unwind at the end of the day. This way, in addition to bright color palettes and quirky decor, you add items like rain sounds, warm blankets and candles for your bedroom to your shopping list — things that go with your theme, but that also promote calm and lull you to sleep when it’s time for lights out. 

Now, is it just us, or is there a candle to set virtually any mood? For example, waxy light fixtures emitting scents like peppermint and sandalwood can help you shake a bad mood, while sweet aromas such as rose petal and ylang ylang put you in a romantic mindset. There are also countless scents to calm your nerves and relax you entirely, like lavender, warm vanilla and autumnal spices like cinnamon and pumpkin. 

Of course, as humans, we connect to scents differently and subjectively, so what might be soothing for you might not be soothing for someone else. That being said, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite candles for the bedroom with scents that are universally recognized to help you fall asleep (just remember to blow out the flame, first).
