Ideas for choosing the right candleholders for your unique style
Blown glass, braided, and globe candleholders are great choices for any style of home. You can incorporate them easily into a space as their details are often appealing to many aesthetics. If transitional style is your thing, consider pieces that incorporate clear glass, metalwork, and sculptural elements. For those that are looking for a more traditional candleholder: wooden, bronze, and ceramic pieces are great choices (this is especially true for turned wood and sets of tiered candlesticks). If your home has a contemporary feel, you might want to look for unique materials and clean lines in your candleholders. Consider incorporating candle wall sconces,, as they are often designed with a sculptural look in mind.
