Candle Holders
How to choose candle holders
Outdoor vs indoor
Choose Home & Garden for an outdoor spot, but prefer iron over wood in wet weather.
Display vs daily use
The Decor sub-type suits a mantel showpiece, while Home Fragrance Accessories fit a kitchen sill.
Material tradeoff
Material sets the look: glass for colour play, ceramic for texture, metal for strength.
Colour impact
Colour decides impact: brown or black blends with furniture, pink or green draws the eye.
Next step
Once you know the sub-type and material, the listings below help you weigh the remaining choices.
What's good
- The Decor sub-type includes pieces in red, blue or gold that lift a shelf without repainting the room.
- Glass holders, including those in green or pink, throw coloured light from the flame.
- Wood or iron options within Home & Garden sit steady in a draughty hall.
- Home Fragrance Accessories catch wax and protect your table during daily burns.
Things to watch
- Glass and crystal holders look thin and can chip if knocked off a sill.
- Wooden bases may scorch if the candle burns down to the holder.
- Iron left outside in the Home & Garden sub-type will rust without cover.
- Ceramic and clay pieces feel heavy, so moving them mid-meal is a chore.
- Gold or silver finishes mark with fingerprints and need regular polishing.
Care & maintenance
Metal care
Wipe metal and silver with a dry cloth to slow tarnish.
Wash by hand
Hand wash glass and ceramic in warm water, then dry fully.
Protect wood
Keep wooden holders clear of the wick to avoid burn marks.
Winter storage
Store concrete garden pieces under a roof in frost.
