Frequently Asked Questions
What types of candle holders are available?
Our candle holders collection includes taper holders for classic dinner candles, pillar holders for thick candles, votive holders for small candles, tea light holders for ambient glow, lanterns with glass enclosures, candelabras for multiple candles, hurricane holders for wind protection, and sculptural holders as decorative art. Materials range from metal and glass to ceramic, wood, and mixed media in various heights and styles.
Where should I place candle holders?
Candle holders work beautifully on dining tables as centerpieces, mantels for symmetrical displays, console tables in entryways, accent tables beside seating, coffee tables for ambient lighting, bathroom counters for spa-like atmosphere, or shelving as decorative accents. Group multiple holders in varying heights for dramatic impact. Pair with decorative accessories like vases and trays for styled vignettes.
How do I choose the right candle holder size?
For dining table centerpieces, keep candle holders under 12 inches tall so guests can see across the table, or use tall taper holders (14+ inches) for dramatic height. For mantels and console tables, vary heights—mix tall (12-18 inches), medium (8-12 inches), and low (4-8 inches) holders for visual interest. Consider your candle size—taper holders fit standard 3/4-inch candles, while pillar holders accommodate 3-4 inch diameter candles.
Can candle holders be used without candles?
Absolutely! Many candle holders are sculptural pieces that stand beautifully on their own as decorative objects. Use them on console tables or shelving as art. Group empty holders in varying heights and finishes for modern displays. Mix with vases and other decorative accessories for layered vignettes. The holders themselves become the focal point with their interesting shapes, materials, and finishes.
What materials work best for different styles?
Metal candle holders in brass or gold add warmth and luxury to traditional or transitional spaces. Matte black metal suits modern minimalist and industrial interiors. Glass holders provide transparency and work in any style, especially coastal and contemporary. Ceramic holders offer texture and work in organic modern or bohemian spaces. Wood holders bring natural warmth to rustic or Scandinavian aesthetics. Choose materials that coordinate with your home decor.
How do I style candle holders safely?
Always place candle holders on stable, heat-resistant surfaces away from flammable materials like curtains, papers, or dried flowers. Keep at least 12 inches between candles and anything above them. Never leave burning candles unattended. Use dripless candles to protect surfaces, or place holders on trays for easy cleanup. Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting. Extinguish candles before they burn completely down. For worry-free ambiance, consider flameless LED candles in your holders.
