The new Primark candle range is bringing happy home
Spark joy with these on-trend sculptural pieces

We're ever so slightly obsessed with sculpted candles. Arches, twisted, knots, we'll take 'em all. And the new Primark candle range has it all.
The latest offerings from our favourite budget-friendly high street store are the best candles we've seenin a joy-inducing collection of shapes and colours. Best of all? They start from £1. We won't even be worried about burning candles evenly because they look nearly too gorgeous to light.
The Primark candle range
Twisted candlesticks were the shape of 2021, and for this year we're loving a more modern interpretation - waves and zig-zags.
For only a quid, you can pick up these designer-style candlesticks from Primark. And thanks to the teensy price tag we'll be making sure we get one in every colour, please and thank you.
The other sure to be sell-out shape has to be the arch. We've been seeing these styles all over Instagram as the latest must-have addition to shelfies.
In a mellow mustard tone, this £1.50 (yes, you read that right) candle is sure to add happy vibes to the everyday.
Create a cool and contemporary look by mixing and matching shapes and colours in your candle collection. A combination of rounded and linear, tall and small designs will add stylish impact to your space.

We're sure this range will go quickly (and not just because we're planning on grabbing as many will fit in our totes). After all, we're pretty sure that buying candles counts as self-care. Somehow.
