Candle Holders & Lanterns

<p>Decorative and practical, candles are an easy and affordable way to supplement your home's lighting scheme. At Home provides candle holders to match all types of decor and help you enhance occasions ranging from holiday parties to romantic dinners.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Pillar Candle Holders&nbsp;</strong><br /> The basic pillar candle comes in a wide variety of sizes, but most are cylinder-shaped and contain enough tightly packed wax to burn well over 40 hours. Try a pillar candle holder as the centerpiece for a small dinner nook or your living room's <strong><a href="https://www.athome.com/coffee-end-tables/" target="_blank">coffee table</a></strong>; a pillar candle is also a good option as a <strong><a href="https://www.athome.com/dressers-nightstands/" target="_blank">nightstand</a></strong> light source.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Votive Candle Holders&nbsp;</strong><br /> Small and stout, votive candles are shorter than traditional pillar candles and burn for 15 to 20 hours. You can place a line of them along your fireplace mantel or in a bay window to help set the mood for a cozy Christmas party.<br /> <br /> <strong>Tea Light Candle Holders</strong><br /> Tea lights are the smallest and shortest-burning of all candle styles, with most designs only lasting 5 hours or so before all the wax is gone, so many of At Home's tea light candle holders come in packs of a half-dozen or more. If you enjoy unwinding in a hot <strong><a href="https://www.athome.com/bath/" target="_blank">bath</a></strong>, consider picking up some floating tea light candle holders and maybe even&nbsp;tossing in a few rose petals for a truly sensuous experience.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Wall Sconces</strong><br /> <strong><a href="https://www.athome.com/wall-sconces/" target="_blank">Wall sconces</a></strong> can hold almost any style of candle, from long, tapered sticks to tiny tea lights, and are a memorable way to frame your main&nbsp;entryway, living room windows or guest room bed. A set of six or more silver or gold sconces also makes for a memorable visual when used to line a long hallway.<br /> <br /> <strong>Candelabras</strong><br /> A candelabra is a branching candlestick that can hold multiple candles. A three- or four-slot candelabra makes a beautiful decoration on a side table or in a window, while a candelabra with five or more arms is a solid choice for situations in which candles are your primary light source. At Home's selection ranges from ornate gold-leaf designs to simple, unobtrusive black metal designs.<br /> <br /> <strong>Mirrored Candle Holders&nbsp;</strong><br /> If you're looking to use a candle as a major source of light rather than as a decorative accent, consider picking up a mirrored candle holder; these designs effectively double the amount of light created by the flame. Some of At Home's mirrored candle holders feature a trifold design, which deepens the effect by adding two more reflective surfaces to catch the light.<br /> <br /> <strong>Punched Metal and Mosaic Candle Holders</strong><br /> Another way of playing with the amount of light created by your candles is to place them in a punched metal candle holder. While these don't increase the amount of light the way a mirrored candle holder does, the artistic lattice patterns in the punched metal allow the light to shine through and cast unique shadows nearby. Mosaic candle holders provide a similar effect by refracting the candle's light through multicolored glass.<br /> <br /> <strong>LED Lanterns</strong><br /> As lovely as flickering candlelight can be, sometimes open flames aren't ideal or even possible. If you want a candlelight effect on your back porch during windy weather, consider a battery-powered <strong><a href="https://www.athome.com/flameless-candles/" target="_blank">LED lantern</a></strong>, which creates faux candlelight by using an LED bulb inside a waxy plastic cylinder. Many of these lanterns provide a toggle switch that lets you turn a flickering effect on or off. LED lanterns are also a safe&nbsp;choice for use during busy indoor parties when you need to occasionally leave your candles unattended &mdash; or during any occasion where an excitable&nbsp;kitty or puppy might suddenly get&nbsp;the zoomies. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Special Collections</strong><br /> Looking for a piece with an extra-personal touch? At Home collaborates with some well-known names in interior design, including Willow Crossley, Tracey Boyd, Laila Ali and Ty Pennington, to bring you special collections that reflect the unique vision of each artist. Pick up a metal and glass candle holder from the&nbsp;Laila Ali Collection for an eye-catching piece that combines contemporary and modern design, or try a set of six gold taper candle holders from the Willow Crossley Collection to straddle the line between industrial and glam. The Ty Pennington Collection includes gorgeous&nbsp;sets of wooden votive and taper candle holders that mix the appeal of vintage and rustic styles, while the Tracey Boyd Collection's unique spin&nbsp;features glistening options that incorporate mercury glass and stained-glass designs.</p>
