Candles are not just a practical light source but also a mood creator in the home. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a curated selection of both classic wax candles and modern LED candles – always chosen with an eye for colors, shapes, and aesthetics that let you add your personal touch to your decor.
Materials and Types of Candles
Candles come in various materials and types, each with its own benefits. Wax candles are typically made from paraffin, wax, or beeswax. Paraffin candles are known for burning evenly and come in many colors, while wax candles have a clear flame and produce less soot. Beeswax candles have a subtle scent and natural color. LED candles are made from plastic and electronics but are often designed to look like real wax candles – popular for their fire safety and long lifespan. At Dims Studio, you’ll find classic taper candles, pillar candles, twisted candles, and LED options from carefully selected brands.
Sizes and Dimensions of Candles
Candles come in many sizes, so you can find something for both small and large holders. Classic taper candles typically measure 2–2.2 cm in diameter and 20–30 cm in height. Pillar candles can range from 5 cm up to 10 cm in diameter and 7 cm to 25 cm in height. LED candles are often made in the same sizes as traditional candles, so they fit existing holders and lanterns. Pay attention to the length and thickness of candles when choosing them for your candle holders or decorations.
