Buying Guide: Everything You Need to Know About the Best Candle Holders

What to Consider When Buying Candle Holders

  • Material: Different materials will give off different moods. Glass and metal give off a more sophisticated appearance, wood is great for that rustic feel, or crystal is perfect for a lavish and luxurious ambiance.
  • Size: How big are the candles you want to display? That will determine your choice of holder. Tea light candle holders are narrower than pillar holders, which makes them wonderful choices for larger candles.
  • Design and Style: You need a candle holder design that matches the overall style of your room – not one that looks out of place.
  • Functionality: Candleholders can’t just look pretty. They need to safely hold your candles. Make sure that the holder has a stable base that perfectly fits your candles.

Candle Holder Types and Where and When to Use Them

  • Votive Holders: You’ll need these for votive-sized and tea light candles. They’ll set the mood for romantic evening meals or for cozy, warm lights in intimate areas. These holders enhance the atmosphere of the room.
  • Candelabras: These are lavish and elegant, making them great for weddings, galas, or as centerpieces for special meals.
  • Pillar Candle Holders: Pillar holders are tall and sturdy, which means they work perfectly for large candles. They’re a beautiful choice if you need to make a dramatic presentation at an event or you want something extra special for your home décor.
  • Candlestick Holders: Create a refined, formal ambiance that’s perfect for dining tables, mantels, or as a centerpiece. Ideal for tapers.
