Candle holders are one of the quickest ways to change the mood of a room. A few lit candles on a dark evening, and suddenly the living room feels completely different. But candle holders don’t have to be boring—with colorful and stylish candle holders, you get something that looks great all day long, even without the candles lit.
Three materials, three styles
Glass
Glass candleholders create a beautiful play of light when the candle is lit. Colored glass—like the popular candleholders from EJA —casts a soft, colored glow on the table and creates an intimate atmosphere. They also make lovely decorations in the window, where daylight catches the colors.
Ceramic
Ceramic candleholders are more sculptural and come in many shapes—from classic columns to fun figures. The hand-painted varieties are unique, and no two are exactly alike. Perfect if you want something with personality.
Crystal
For a more elegant look, crystal candleholders are a great choice. They reflect light beautifully and are suitable for both everyday use and festive occasions.
How to style with candle holders
- The dining table: Place 3–5 candleholders of varying heights in the center of the table. Feel free to mix materials and colors, but stick to the same color palette.
- The window: A row of colored glass candleholders in the window is a classic. Daylight makes the colors pop, and in the evening, the candles create a cozy atmosphere.
- The dresser: A single, striking candleholder can stand alone as an eye-catcher. Consider pairing it with a vase or a mirror behind it.
- Living room: Place candle holders on the coffee table, bookshelves, and side tables to create warmth throughout the room. See more living room decor.
Maintenance
Remove wax with warm water or place the candleholder in the freezer for a couple of hours—then you can easily tap the wax off. Glass candleholders are often dishwasher-safe, while ceramic ones are best wiped down by hand.
