Finding the Perfect Flame: Choosing the Right Candle Size for Your Home

We often get asked, "How do I know which size to get?" At Oak Lane, we offer two sizes – our larger 16 oz. candles and our classic 9 oz. candles – and both have their own unique benefits. Choosing the right size depends on a few factors, and we're here to help you find the perfect fit for your home.

16 oz. Candles: For Long-Lasting Fragrance

Our 16 oz. candles are the champions of longevity, boasting an impressive burn time of 80-120 hours. These are ideal for:

• Larger Spaces: If you have a spacious living room, an open-plan kitchen, or a generously sized bedroom, the 16 oz. candle will provide a consistent and noticeable fragrance throw throughout the area.
• Frequent Candle Burners: Do you love to light a candle every day? The 16 oz. size offers extended enjoyment, meaning you won't have to replace your favorite scent as often.
• Creating a Statement: The larger size makes a beautiful visual impact in your home décor.

9 oz. Candles: Versatility and Value

Our 9 oz. candles are a classic choice, offering a burn time of 40-60 hours. They're perfect for:

• Smaller Rooms: Ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or cozy nooks, the 9 oz. candle provides a gentle and inviting fragrance without overwhelming the space.
• Trying New Scents: The 9 oz. size is a great way to explore our fragrance collection and discover new favorites without a larger commitment.
• Gifting: These candles make wonderful gifts for birthdays, housewarmings, or just because. Their versatile size and elegant design are sure to please.

Still Unsure? Consider This:

• Fragrance Strength: While both sizes offer excellent fragrance throw, the 16 oz. candle will generally have a stronger scent due to its larger wax pool. If you prefer a more subtle aroma, the 9 oz. might be a better choice.
• Burn Time Goals: Think about how often you typically burn candles. If you enjoy short bursts of fragrance, the 9 oz. candle is perfect. If you prefer a continuous, long-lasting ambiance, the 16 oz. is the way to go.

No matter which size you choose, we're confident you'll love the quality and craftsmanship of our candles. Explore our entire fragrance collection and find the perfect flame to brighten your home.
