Candle Holders

What RB12 Stocks in Candle Holders

This category brings together candle holders and lanterns from six European brands, sitting within our wider Gift & Decor range. The pieces vary from small single-candle stands to large freestanding lanterns designed to sit on the floor, and from minimal cylindrical forms to more sculptural shapes with a distinct silhouette.

Most pieces here are designed to hold a single pillar or taper candle rather than a full run of tealights, so they read as individual objects rather than a repeated set. If you are after a broader mix of scented and unscented candles to go with a holder, our Candles & Fragrances category sits alongside this one.

Choosing the Right Size and Placement

A candle holder needs to work with the surface it sits on as much as with the candle itself. On a dining table, a lower holder keeps sightlines clear across the table when guests are seated opposite each other, while a taller piece suits a sideboard, console or mantel where it will not obstruct conversation.

Lanterns such as the Blomus Calma Lantern and Blomus Lito Lantern are designed to stand on their own, on a floor, hearth or outdoor terrace, rather than cluster with other pieces. Grouping is worth considering too: a single large holder can anchor a table on its own, while two or three smaller pieces at slightly different heights create more visual rhythm along a shelf or console.

Materials and Finishes

The collection includes stoneware and ceramic pieces, cast and worked metal, and glass lanterns. Ceramic and stoneware holders such as those from Muubs bring a matte, tactile finish that suits a more pared-back interior, while metal pieces from AYTM and 101 Copenhagen tend to have a more sculptural, reflective quality depending on the finish.

Glass lanterns from Blomus are built to shield a flame from draughts, which makes them practical for outdoor dining as well as indoor use. Whatever the material, keep holders away from curtains, paper and other flammable surfaces, and check that a pillar or taper candle fits the holder's opening before lighting it.

Notable Named Pieces

At the more considered end of the range, the Design House Stockholm Nordic Light Candle Holder and the Tamo Design Trilo Candle Holder are designed as standalone objects in their own right, as much sculpture as function.

101 Copenhagen's Brick Candle Holder and Cobra Candle Holder take a more architectural approach, while AYTM's Grasil Candleholder sits at the top of the collection's price range as a larger, more substantial piece.

Styling with the Rest of the Room

Candle holders rarely sit in isolation. On a dining table they work alongside table linen, glassware and a centrepiece such as our Vases & Flower Pots, while on a console or sideboard they pair naturally with our wider Ornaments range.

For evening light beyond candlelight, our Table Lamps and Pendant Lights categories cover fixed lighting that works well layered with candle holders rather than instead of them.
