Floor Standing Candle Holders

Styles of Floor Candle Holders

The style of a floor candle holder can and should fit into your current home’s interior design scheme. Whether you love cottage, gothic or modern style, you can find a floor standing holder that will fit into your space.

Candle holders come in iron, pewter, brass, metal, resin and more. Though pillar candles are popular choices for floor holders, tea lights and tapers can also be used in standing holders. If you plan to use the holder as a lighting alternative, make sure it will hold enough candles to brighten the area. A grouping of simple straight holders can also create a nice lighting scheme.

Uses for Free Standing Holders

The free standing candle holder can be used not only in your everyday décor, but be a focal point for a celebration or event.

Celebrations and Events

A free standing candle holder can be used for a number of events and celebrations. Consider using them for the following:

• Church décor
• Weddings
• Funerals
• Holidays (Christmas and Halloween)
• Parties

If you do not want to purchase a large floor candle holder for a particular event, party rental supply stores will often loan them out for a daily fee.

Everyday Décor

Candle holders can also be placed as a permanent fixture on a patio or in a garden for use as an outdoor candle lantern. Place them by a fireplace, behind a sofa or along the wall to make a statement in a main living space. Floor standing candle holders can be used to light an entryway or as a bedroom accent piece. Highlight a china hutch or buffet board by placing the holders at both ends.

Possibilities for placement depend upon your home’s layout and your personal preferences.

Purchase Floor Standing Candle Holders

Seek out floor standing candle holders from a décor store that specializes in candles or your particular design style.

Pricing for a standing holder is usually around the 100 dollar range, though pricing varies depending on style and retailer.

When shopping online, be sure to check shipping charges. Some free standing holders might have additional freight costs due to the weight or length of the holder.
