Candle Holder

A pillar candle holder can be metal, wood, or glass. The choices of candle holders are almost as endless as the different types of pillar candles. A frosted glass pillar candle holder is the perfect one to choose for your aromatherapy candle. Metal holders for pillar candles are also very elegant and have intricate carvings.

Since most pillar candle holders have a wide base to hold candles that are about 3 inches in diameter, you can still use oddly shaped candles with these holders. Whatever décor you have, you can have a pillar candle holder to match. For example, you can have carved candle holders or ones designed as beautiful candlestick holders.

Try a Celtic design for your pillar candles or have the iron shaped into flowers or even dolphins to hold scented pillar candles. Pewter and copper are also materials commonly used to make pillar candle holders. A pillar candle holder is one of the oldest types of candleholders. Because a pillar candle is larger, using a pillar candle holder gives you the security you need that the candle will stay in place.

Decorating with Wrought Iron Candle Holders

THe range of wrought iron home décor products extends its horizons to candle holders as well. Wrought iron candle holders are available in many shapes, sizes, designs and price ranges. Basically, wrought iron candle holders are divided into types, based on their placement: hanging and stand base.

Wrought iron candle holders can also be categorized according to their utility. There are regular purpose candle holders, tea time candle holders, patio candle holders, and votive holders. Wrought iron multiple candle holders are a great bet for your living room or dining area, dressing room, or dressing table.

Despite the different types, there are some standard designs of wrought iron candle holders. Color variations in wrought iron candle holders are also available. When using candles in the wrought iron candle holders, you must consider the shapes and sizes of the candles. Generally, the designer candle holders are size specific, but some wrought iron candle holders do not specify the candle dimensions. As a standard rule, use only pillar candles for brackets.

Candle Holder

A few weeks ago, he called me to get some information on my opinion of different types of wall candle holders for his log cabin home in the Rocky Mountains.

He was remodeling his living room and den. This way I could make an informed decision on the types of wall candle holders that would match up with the theme of each of these two rooms. The first question I asked was if he was looking for wall candle holders to hold real candles or was he looking for electric wall candle holders. Electric wall candle holders are actually electric lights with bulbs that are in the shape of a candle flame.

He told me that he was open to installing both real candle holders and electric wall candle holders. He informed me that two of the wall candle holders, being installed in the den, will be hard wired to the wiring already in the wall, but in the living room he would like to install wall candle holders that use real candles for light. This way he could use scented candles to freshen up the room.

Sometimes the smaller accents of a room’s furnishings are more compatible with wall lighting fixtures than the larger more pronounced pieces of furniture in the room.

This was a large living room. He had two large oak framed chairs and a large couch that matched. Also in the room are two recliners. The log walls in the room gave the room a rustic feel and the stone fireplace going up the wall was the focal point of the room. On one wall was a bronze wall sculpture of several elk. On another wall was a large bronze metal wall art sun.

It was on the wall with the large bronze sun that he wanted to hang a wall candle holder on each side of this metal wall art. The second set of wall candle holders were to be hung on the wall directly above the stone mantle of the fireplace. It was so obvious that wrought iron wall candle holders would be the perfect match for the wall above the fireplace mantle. The floors are hardwood floors.

As with all the walls in this home, they are all log walls. The furniture in this room was all black leather. On one wall was hanging a medium size tapestry of a mountain lake. On another wall was a large wooden wall clock about five feet in diameter. He told me that he intended to install a wall candle holder on each side of the tapestry and another set of wall candle holders on each side of the wall clock.

The large wall clock already had two rather ugly hard wired wall lights on each side. Within a month my cousin had ordered all his new candle wall lighting fixtures and had them up and working brilliantly.

Wall candle holders are a small touch that has a large effect on the overall persona of a room.
