The weather outside may have chilled, but inside your home it’s time to heat things up. Whether you’re looking for something to create a sense of peace, kick your decor up a notch or spice up your love life, these three Black-owned candles companies have just what you need to keep your home lit all year long.    
01
Luxe & Lit
Your home should always be your place of peace, that’s why Luxe & Lit candle founder Christen McCluney designed her candles specifically to help create a vibe of zen and self care. With limited releases that change monthly, the candles fill your home with lavender and eucalyptus scents to help you ‘Relax & Release,’ Rosemary, Bergamot and Vanilla to create ‘Calming Energy,’ or Sea Salt and Driftwood to bring the calming sounds of ‘Crashing Waves’ indoors. “Candles can be used to create a place in your home that allows you to truly unwind and be at one with your thoughts. Light one, close your eyes and inhale the, not only the fragrance, but peace.”

228 Grant Street
Women aren’t the only ones who appreciate a good candle. Founded by Virginia native Kendal Brown, 228 Grant Street candles are perfect for the man looking for a smooth ambiance in his home. Or to set the mood for that special someone. Try the sweetness of the Meyer Lemon and Lavender candle for the perfect finishing touch. “Candles provide that perfect element to help you unwind, set the mood for a romantic evening and provide that perfect finishing touch.”

Vela Bougie
Imagine walking into a home that immediately wrapped you in the most heavenly floral experience. That’s how Sharla Brown, founder of Vela Bougie, describes her candles. Not only do Vela Bougie candles wrap you in floral love, but the crisp, clean design fits in perfectly with any home decor. “Coffee tables are typically the focal point of any home. Add souvenirs from your travels at varying heights, a small bouquet of flowers, then add candles like ‘A Bouquet A Day’ or ‘Brunch With Bae’ to make your guests feel warm and welcomed.”
