Our story

My name is Zeynep Kalkan and I have a passion for all things art related. I am currently a full time student at Baylor University and an aspiring lawyer who has been crafting candles for five years. I first became fascinated by candle making when watching Rapunzel when I was little and finally got the chance to familiarize myself with the process and start crafting when the world came to a halt with the pandemic in 2020.

More then anything I love bringing more beauty into the world and sharing it with everyone I can. 

Enhancing the atmosphere of a space can be achieved in several ways, and one of the most effective methods is through the use of candles. Candles create an inviting and warm ambiance, transforming any room into a serene oasis.

Using high-quality candles, such as those offered by Kalkan Candles, can significantly enhance your environment. The rich scents can evoke memories and feelings, while the gentle flicker of the flame adds a dynamic visual element. Consider placing candles in various locations, such as on dining tables, coffee tables, or in bathrooms, to create a multi-dimensional experience.

In addition to scent, the design and color of the candles can complement your decor. A cohesive color palette can unify a space, while unique shapes can serve as conversation starters.

Carefully choosing where to place candles can also affect their impact. For instance, positioning them near windows can allow natural light to interact beautifully with the candle’s flame, creating a breathtaking effect during twilight.

Ultimately, enhancing your space with candles involves more than just lighting them; it encompasses selecting the right scents, designs, and placements to create a harmonious and inviting environment. Let the soft glow and calming fragrances of Kalkan Candles enrich your surroundings.
