The world of candles is ever-evolving, blending creativity, functionality, and sustainability in exciting ways. As we step into 2025, we're shining a light on the trends that will inspire your home décor, self-care routines, and gifting choices this year. Whether you're a loyal Haus of Flame Candle Co. customer or just discovering the magic of candles, here’s what’s making waves in the candle world—and what we’re bringing to life in our collections.
1. Eco-Conscious Candle-Making
Sustainability is no longer a bonus—it’s a necessity. In 2025, eco-friendly materials like soy wax, reusable jars, and recyclable packaging are becoming the standard.
At Haus of Flame: Every candle is crafted with clean-burning soy wax and shipped in eco-conscious materials, so you can enjoy luxury guilt-free.
2. Zodiac-Inspired Candles
Astrology and personalization continue to be crowd favorites, and zodiac-themed candles are perfect for gifting or self-expression. In 2025, expect this trend to expand with new twists and customized options.
Stay Tuned: We’re working on something special for the zodiac enthusiasts in 2025. Keep an eye out for updates as we develop a celestial collection that captures the essence of the stars.
3. Nostalgic Scents That Tell Stories
Fragrances that evoke cherished memories—like home-baked cookies, a crisp morning walk, or festive gatherings—are at the forefront of consumer demand.
Fan Favorite: The Abuela’s Cookie Jar Candle, inspired by New Mexico’s beloved biscochito cookies, fills your space with the warm and comforting aroma of tradition.
4. Multi-Sensory Candles
Candles are becoming an immersive experience with crackling wood wicks, dual fragrances, and visual elements like layered colors or unique shapes.
Try This: Our wood-wick candles, like Leather & Lace, add a soothing crackle to your relaxation ritual.
5. Oversized Statement Pieces
Larger candles with multi-wicks are in demand for their ability to fill big spaces with fragrance and serve as standout décor pieces.

Wellness-focused candles infused with calming scents for relaxation, focus, or energy are gaining popularity as people prioritize self-care.

Neutral, understated designs that match a variety of home aesthetics are becoming the go-to for both candles and home décor.

9. Local Artistry
Consumers are gravitating toward small, artisanal brands that create high-quality, hand-poured candles with a story behind them.
Why Haus of Flame? Every candle is hand-poured in Albuquerque, NM, blending passion, craftsmanship, and the inspiration of New Mexico’s landscapes.
