Candle and decor shops in New York
45 candle and decor shops are mapped within about nine miles of central New York. Smelling a candle in the shop tells you about the cold throw; the warm throw, the one that fills a room, you only learn at home.
New York has real winters, which is when the cozy index peaks: long dark evenings, cold and rain or snow. Dry heated air is hard on wood frames and canvas; a humidifier helps both the art and the people.

Before you go
- Smell three at most, then step outside; the nose stops after that.
- Check the wax and wick: soy, coconut and beeswax burn cleaner, cotton or wood wicks, and a burn time on the label.
- A candle that is cheap for its size is usually paraffin with a lot of fragrance oil; fine for a porch, not a bedroom.
What works
- Trim the wick to a quarter inch before every burn and let the first burn reach the edge of the jar; that is most of candle care.
- Never leave a candle burning in a room you have left; the NFPA counts about 20 home candle fires a day in the US.
- Keep candles a foot from anything that burns, out of drafts and away from children and pets.
