Candle Holders

Candle holders quickly bring more warmth and character to your interior. Whether you’re looking for a single model for the table or want to combine several candle holders on a sideboard, the right shape and height instantly give the whole look a more polished feel. In this collection, you’ll find candle holders that suit a calm, modern and natural interior.

Candle holders for every place in the home

A candle holder is a simple addition with a big effect. On the dining table, it adds extra light during meals; on a side table, it creates more depth; and in the living room, it makes a corner feel a little more inviting. Even without a burning candle, a candle holder works as a decorative object. Combine it with other items from our decorations collection or with small home accessories from accessories for a calm, cohesive look.

Which candle holder suits your interior?

Pay special attention to shape, height and material. A slim model looks airy and works well on a smaller table. A wider or heavier candle holder adds more emphasis and looks beautiful on a cabinet or spacious shelf. If you choose metal, you often get a sleeker effect. Ceramic or glass, on the other hand, feels a little softer in the room. By combining different heights, you create more balance than when everything is the same height.

Buying guide: how to choose the right candle holders

• For the dining table: choose models that aren’t too tall, so you can still easily make eye contact.
• For a sideboard or windowsill: work with two or three heights for a playful yet calm look.
• For a narrow shelf or side table: choose a slim model with a sturdy base.
• For a warm overall look: combine candle holders with other materials such as wood, glass or linen.
• For a gift: a candle holder is easy to give and pairs well with something from our gifts collection.

Tips for combining and styling

Don’t place a candle holder alone in the room; give it a fixed place in a small grouping. Think of a tray with a vase, a small object and one or two candle holders. That way, the whole arrangement feels intentional and balanced. Try not to mix too many different colours. With one material or a calm mix, everything stays polished.

Practical in use

Make sure to check which type of candle fits the holder. A dinner candle requires a different opening than a pillar candle. Also check that the base sits securely on the surface, especially if you have children or pets. If you use several candle holders together, keep enough space between the flames and don’t place them too close to a curtain or wall decoration.

FAQ about candle holders

What size candle holder suits my table?

For a dining table, medium-height or low models are often the most comfortable. They provide light and style, but don’t get in the way while eating or talking. On a large table, you can place several in different heights.

How do I combine multiple candle holders without it looking cluttered?

Choose one base colour or one material and vary mainly in height and shape. Work with two or three pieces together and add a vase or bowl if needed. That keeps the look calm and polished.

Where is the best place to put a candle holder?

Popular spots are the dining table, coffee table, windowsill, side table and sideboard. Always make sure the surface is flat and stable, and keep a safe distance from flammable materials.

How do I care for my candle holders?

Remove candle wax only once it has hardened. After that, you can gently lift it off. Wipe the candle holder with a soft cloth. For delicate materials, it’s better not to use an abrasive cleaner.

Can I use candle holders outdoors?

That depends on the material and the location. In a sheltered area, it can sometimes be fine, but it’s better not to leave them outside for long periods. Wind, moisture and temperature changes can affect the material and the way the candle burns.
