In the past, candles were used as the main source of light, but in modern times, they are often used as decorative accessories or for their positive and calming characteristics.

Whether you intend to use candles to enhance and illuminate your space or to create a positive atmosphere in your living room, the use of candle holders is essential. We've gathered some pointers to help you understand the importance of using pillar candle holders.

Supporting Candles

Candles come in all shapes, sizes and designs. Some have a small or thin base, such as taper candles, while others have a wide base, such as pillar candles. Wooden candle holders provide support for candles, helping them stand upright and giving them a unique visual appeal. A votive candle holder is a small cup used to hold and support votive candles that may collapse on themselves. Refreshment candles are small in size, so it is still important to use small candle holders to properly support them.

Safe and Secure

The need for candle holders was discovered a long time ago when it was realized that candles could tip over and cause fires. The main function of a candle holder is to provide a safe and secure base for the candle to avoid any accidents. To prevent any unpleasant incidents from occurring, it is important to use candle holders underneath an open flame for added safety and prevention. Make sure to place the candlestick on a flat and level surface to ensure everyone's safety.

Help block the wind

Many people avoid using candles at outdoor events because of the direction of the wind. This is where candle holders come to the rescue and save the day. As you know, the wind is no friend of an open flame and extinguished candles do nothing for the decor of the event. Candle holders with pillar-shaped shells can be used to protect the flame from the wind.

Preventing hot wax spills

Hot wax can cause skin burns and damage your tables and other furniture. Metal candle holders can be used to collect all the dripping wax from a burning candle without letting it spill. When you light a wish candle placed in a wishing candle holder, the wax from the candle will be collected in the wishing candle holder and the table will not be messy, making cleanup easier and more efficient.  

Home Decoration

There is no doubt that lighting candles at your event or party is essential to creating a bright and flickering atmosphere. Using candle holders is equally important to enhance your party or home decor. Candle holder sets allow you to gather multiple candles in one place to create an eye-catching and dazzling atmosphere.

YILONG candle holders come in a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and colors giving you the flexibility to uniquely decorate your coffee table, side table, console, mantelpiece or dining table the way you want. 

Sophisticated Accessories 

Sconces are simple but striking decorations that can be placed anywhere. Whether you want to bring a cozy feel to your living room, kitchen or dining room, sconces can be used to bring a subtle, natural glow to the area you want. For example, use Christmas candle holders to hold pillar candles and add a cheerful and cozy look to the Christmas table.

While the basic function of a candle holder is to hold the candle in place, candle holders are much more than that. We hope that these benefits of using candle holders have removed any doubts you may have had about their importance.
