Candle Holders For Home Decor

Candles are such simple objects, yet they evoke so much in millions of people across the world. The spiritual effect and use of candles goes back millennia, as does their use in religions across the world. Nowadays, candles in the home, at least in Western countries, are for effect, scent and relaxation. Candles need candle holders, so the candle holders themselves have naturally become a part of home decor thinking in recent decades.

Candle holders come in all shapes, sizes and designs, as do the candles that they are designed to accommodate. While the more traditional candle holdes are still popular, a whole new concept in candle holder design has evolved in recent decades, with modern artists playing their part, and coming up with some quite novel ideas.

Decorative candle holders can make lovely ornaments even without a lit candle. The votive candle holder left is a good example. This is hand crafted from metal and then hand painted. It's delicate decoration is a unique, modern evolution from a vintage design, with bright flowers and a dragonfly to bring cheer and colour to any room.

The whimsical mermaid candle holder on the left is also in metal and hand painted, bringing a welcome touch of humour to the ornemantal decor of your home. While such designs may not have the spiritual impact of the older, and more religiously inspired, candle holders, these are indeed a welcome addition to home decor.

Hanging candle holders are very useful for tea light candles. With the ability to hang them anywhere in the home or garden, their versatility is a great asset. The blue Charisma candle holder left is hung by vintage, sculpted wire, and very delicately designed and hand made.
