I love having fresh cut flowers in my apartment, so the idea of having faux nature ornaments that you can light up is a wee bit strange. I am willing to surrender to the world of [garden-inspired candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluecorn-candles), however. I especially like the [big birch tree branch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abney-effect), especially if the scent of the forest comes into your living room when you light it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-inspired Candles:** Creating candles shaped like lifelike plants offers a unique and refreshing twist on traditional pillar candles. - **Flower-inspired Candles:** Designing candles in the shape of flowers adds a touch of elegance and beauty to any space. - **Fruit-inspired Candles:** Crafting candles in the form of fruits provides a playful and whimsical element to home decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of garden-inspired candles by offering a wide range of nature-inspired candle designs to enhance interior spaces. - **Artificial Plants:** The artificial plant industry can explore the opportunity to expand into creating candle-shaped plants, providing customers with a unique combination of decoration and ambient lighting. - **Floral Arrangements:** Florists and floral arrangement businesses can tap into the market for flower-inspired candles, offering customers the option to have both a traditional bouquet and a scented candle in one. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Succulent Terrarium Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/succulent-terrarium-candle.md) - [Rose Garden-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-fellow.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Luxe Fragrant Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-maker-gardener-candle.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Plant-Based Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-candle-collections.md) - [Spring-Inspired Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-awaken-collection.md) - [Lifelike Egg Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-candles-1.md)
