After my recent post about battery-operated colored candles, many readers asked where to find candle holders. I gathered a selection of favorites and ideas for taper candles, votives, tealights, and pillar candles to help you shop and style your home this season.
Below is a roundup of candleholders I love — from classic brass and wood pieces to playful and modern options. You’ll find examples and styling ideas to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for fall and winter.
Candles and candleholders set a cozy tone. Over the years I’ve collected a mix of antiques and new finds; secondhand shops and Etsy are also great places to discover unique pieces. Use a variety of heights, finishes, and materials to add texture and interest on mantels, dining tables, and side tables.
ENJOY!
Selection highlights above: a mix of brass, mint-finished, ceramic, and sculptural candleholders, plus the playful mouse holder and a few classic white and black options. Choose finishes that complement your decor — brass and gold for warmth, wood for a natural look, and blue-and-white ceramics for a cottage touch.
More ideas: look for sets in varying heights to create a layered centerpiece. Mix metals with wood or ceramics for contrast. Low candlesticks and dish-style holders work well on coffee tables, while taller tapers suit dining tables and mantels.
Pillar candleholder options: choose chunky bases in terracotta, mango wood, resin, or metal for a bold, grounded look. Distressed finishes add character; pairs and sets create symmetry for tabletop displays.
Votive and tealight styling: small glass holders in colored or clear glass bring soft pools of light. Rattan or cane-wrapped holders introduce texture and warmth. Group votives in odd numbers for a relaxed, layered feel.
