Key Takeaways

• A candle holder elevates the general appearance of a candle. On an aesthetic or practical level, these holders can be used to adorn a room, protect the tabletop surface, and provide better light diffusion.

• When combined with fragrances such as lavender, vanilla, or citrus, candles can raise one's spirits and create a cheerful, inviting ambiance in the home.

• There are various materials and styles available such as marble, brass, glass, or wood-to pair any holder with any décor theme. 

• To stylize the holders, group in threes, work with different heights, and keep holders at eye-level to maintain visual interest and balance. 

• Using holders with scented candles cuts down on mess, gives equal scent distribution in a room, and helps disperse scent zones in an open-plan home.

Why Candle Holders Are More Than Just Decor

Candle holders don't just hold candles; they also frame them. They enhance the presentation, protect surfaces, and diffuse light in a beautiful way. You can add a touch of style to any room with glass candle holders, pillar candle holders, vintage candle holders, and brass candlestick holders.

Let's explore how incorporating these holders with home fragrance can add depth, style, and calm to every room in your home.

FAQs

1. Do all candle holders not get hot?

Yes, but it's best to consult the care instructions provided by the manufacturer and the material's properties. Marble and iron are both excellent at withstanding heat.

2. Can I use candle holders again after the wax has melted?

Of course. Simply remove the old wax and reuse the container with new candles or refills.

3. Which candles work best with brass candle holders?

Tapered or stick candles with a strong base are best. Choose colours that complement the colours in your room.

4. How do I get wax off of holders?

Put the holder in the freezer for 30 minutes. The wax will harden and come out easily.

5. Is it safe to burn scented candles every day?

Yes, but only if you use it safely. Use natural waxes and avoid burning them for more than three to four hours at a time.
