Sometimes very little is needed to transform an unwelcoming interior into an ideal nook for relaxation, a perfect setting for a romantic dinner, or a warm dining room where the whole family can celebrate at the table with ceremony. All it takes is... lighting a candle. The whole secret, however, lies in the right candle holder. How to choose a candle holder for the occasion and conjure a magical atmosphere in just a few moments? You'll find out everything in this article!
Amidst a maze of diverse shapes, colours, and materials, it's easy to get lost, but we promise – choosing a candle holder can be straightforward! To pick the perfect one, it's worth focusing on the most important aspect first – the light.
Once you have the answers to these questions, choosing a candle holder model will become much easier. Tall candles create a solemn atmosphere; tealights are more intimate and portable, making them suitable for smaller nooks and offering more arrangement possibilities. Lanterns and large lanterns are the ideal choice for a terrace. Below, we present some of our suggestions, but you will surely find your own solutions!



Okay, we know, and you surely know too – there’s no romantic date without a tall candle holder. Dinner by candlelight = romance, we assure you, it always works a treat. Choosing such a candle holder for a date has another significant advantage: tall, uncovered candles provide a relatively large amount of focused light, meaning you, your companion, and the table will be illuminated, while the rest of the room will be bathed in atmospheric darkness. The selection of candle holders is vast, so you’ll easily find one to match the room's style; however, we particularly recommend multi-arm candle holders – a cinematic effect is guaranteed!
Family celebrations call for a proper setting. Have you invited your partner's family for dinner? Are you celebrating a birthday or a promotion at work? Or perhaps you're hosting the holidays at your place? On each of these occasions, you'll certainly want the table to look exceptionally elegant and festive.


When you need a moment to yourself, a relaxing bath is the best solution! All lucky owners of a bathtub know this. Your body will unwind in fragrant bubbles, while the glow of candles will soothe your senses and put you in a good mood. You can place small tealight holders in the form of bowls or small lanterns on the edge of the tub. Colourful glass candle holders will work perfectly here, giving the candle light an interesting hue. Add some fluffy foam and relaxing music – sounds like a perfect plan for the evening!
There are evenings when all you want is to curl up in a soft armchair with a good book and a large mug of steaming tea or cocoa. To create a cosy atmosphere, all it takes is a candle with a beautiful scent that will soothe and relax you. A Woodwick candle, which burns with the sound of wood crackling in a fireplace, would be ideal. If you appreciate original solutions, a wall-mounted candle holder can also be a good idea – a candle hanging on the wall will become an additional source of overhead light, while also looking beautiful and completing the arrangement of your relaxation nook.



A warm spring evening and relaxing on the terrace – this combination always sounds like a brilliant plan. To create a cosy, magical atmosphere, all it takes are a few stylish lanterns, which cast charming light and atmospheric, dancing shadows. Their sides also shield the candle from the wind, so you don't have to worry about the flame accidentally going out. Metal lanterns will last for years, while boho lovers will be most fond of rattan lanterns.
