Collection: Candle Holders

1. What do we need Wooden Candle Holders for?

From romantic dinners to cosy evenings, candles create an irresistibly calming, and romantically charged-up atmosphere. They cannot be left unattended when they are burning. It is also not safe to put them in an open space with flammable materials close by. One has to be extra careful while using lighted candles. Always give them a sturdy base. If not, they may fall and lead to mishaps. This is where candle holders come into the picture. They provide much-needed support (solid base) to the candles. They add height to the candles. They prevent the hot wax from spilling all over the place. And last but not least, they not only help the candles to stand upright but also help to create an exclusive visual appeal around them. If you already have enough, they also qualify as thoughtful gift items for your friends and family.

2. How do you display Candle Holders?

Lighting a candle often creates a soothing atmosphere in the house. It helps to soothe your mind and soul. But first, you must pick the place where you can display the candles and create that aura. It could be the corner of the room, on a mantlepiece, the coffee table, or on a dining room table. One thing is for sure candle holders make for attractive decorative accents and they bring cheer everywhere. Some of the ways to use them are

1. Group of candlesticks of different heights often create an attractive centerpiece in the living room.
2. Planters are not just meant for the main areas of the house; you can also place them in your washroom if you have enough space and light.
3. Place them in the center of the dining table and see them give an interesting warmth and glow to the table.
4. There are no rules for accessorizing with candle holders. They may be placed inside the home on counters, bookcases, end tables, and bar carts, as well as outside on patios and porches.

3. Which candle holders to buy?

There are many types- Votive holders, tea lights, traditional taper holders, pillars, candelabras, hurricane lamps, lanterns and they all come in various shapes, rounded, square, plain, or etched glass. All of them look good but a lot depends on what type and which materials would complement the rest of your décor. Always, ensure that you go for the one that lends a fuller, more eye-catching display and makes for a statement piece.

Choosing the right material is equally important. The most popular materials happen to be glass, ceramic, and metal as they are long-lasting and protect the flame of the candle. While crystal makes for a rare collection, candle holders made in brass, glass, and classic silver also have a very classy feel about them. You must go for solid stuff and quality materials (wrought iron, high-quality brass, mango wood, etc) that will withstand the wraths of wear and tear.

4. How to use them safely?

Always keep the candle holders out of the way of kids and pets, in the uncluttered corners of the house. Place them on a flat and even surface to ensure everyone’s safety. The holders must be placed equidistantly to maintain a balance. Avoid using skinny candles that often lose balance and get wobbly inside the holder.

Regular, common pots maybe old fashioned but they always look trendy. Instant eye-grabbing pieces make the minimalist interiors come to life like never before. Also, high load bearing capacity is what we need while buying big planters. Here is a list of things to keep in mind while making a purchase.
