About Us
Once upon a time, a devoted bibliophile set out to create book-inspired candles that could capture the magic of their favourite stories. They dreamed of filling every reading nook with beautiful fragrances that felt as real and vivid as the worlds inside a beloved novel.
At The Reading Room Candle Co., each of our literary candles is hand-poured in small batches using natural vegan soy wax for a clean, eco-friendly burn. We use premium fragrance oils to craft unique scented candles inspired by books, designed to transport you into the pages of your favourite stories with every flicker of the flame.
From the nostalgic aroma of an old library to the fresh breeze of an epic adventure, our soy wax candles are perfect for book lovers, collectors, and anyone who cherishes the joy of reading. Each label is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the characters, settings, and unforgettable moments that make literature so enchanting.
Whether you’re searching for handmade book lover gifts, thoughtful presents for birthdays, or bookish home décor to create your own cosy reading sanctuary, The Reading Room Candle Co. brings your literary dreams to life, one beautifully scented moment at a time.
Explore our collection of bookish candles and discover how scent can transform your reading experience into something truly unforgettable.
...and we grew into The Candle Rooms!
Through the support of our wonderful customers, we have been able to grow our business over the last seven years, adding our organic essential oil brand, The Ritual Room, as well as partnering with authors, bookshops and retail partners all over the world!
...and then we got to open our doors!
In 2021 we were proud to open our first retail space in our native Northern Ireland, The Candle Rooms, bringing together all our brands and ranges together under one roof. Later that year, we were incredibly excited to launch this site and allow everyone the opportunity to shop The Candle Rooms!
As ever, we couldn't do this without you, so whether this is your first visit or your 30th, thank you, you are so very welcome!
