How to Match the Design of a Candle Holder for a Candlestick


Consider your style and the room's atmosphere to decide on the right candlestick holder. Whether it's a large candlestick holder for grand rooms or a more subdued 1 inch candle holder for intimate spaces, there are many choices for the right piece to enhance each setting. Of course, remember to match the candler holder with the type of candle. Taper candles require holders with a narrow, supportive opening, while pillar candles need a broader, more robust base. Checking the fit between the candle and its holder is essential to prevent accidents and ensure the candle burns evenly.
