Metal Wall Candle Holder

You’ll find that, when picking out your metal wall art candle holder, a myriad of materials and finishes are available depending on the style you’re using within your space:

• Country Cottage: these candle holders feature designs with homey-cottage inspirations with small ornamentations capturing the shabby-chic aesthetic. Typical materials include brushed nickel and bronze.
• Contemporary: these candle holders feature minimalistic designs made mostly from metal with smooth edges.
• Rustic: these candle holders tend to have weathered finishes, darker colors, and are sometimes made from recycled materials.
• Traditional: these candle holders can easily cross over into vintage styling in that their ornamental detailing reflects those from years past. Common materials are brushed or blackened bronze.
• Transitional: these candle holders crossover between modern and traditional in that they offer minimalistic styling coupled with sleek detailing. Common materials include black iron and nickel.

Like any other piece of wall art, these candle holders must be hung with care. If you’re hanging this candle holder above your fireplace, consider centering it above the mantle. Otherwise, you should be hanging it, so the candle holder’s center is at your eye level. In other words, it should be hung at 58 inches on center. You can achieve this measurement by measuring 58 inches from the floor. In doing so, you’re helping create a more visually appealing space and make better use of the lights from your candles.

Because these candle holders are available in a broad range of materials and finishes, you’ll find that maintaining them will vary. Under most circumstances, a light dusting will suffice. If you find that candle wax is splashing on the surfaces, simply place the candle holder in your freezer and then remove the wax with a spatula. You may have to place it into a chest freezer if the candle holder is too large for your traditional freezer. Otherwise, the wax may be brittle enough to remove by peeling off.

Depending on the materials you’re selecting, the size of the candle holder, and where you’re making your purchase, you’re going to find the prices are going to vary significantly. For example, you could find a large candle holder featuring a contemporary style made from iron that costs just over $100.00. You could also find a rustic style featuring a brushed nickel finish with twig shapes for just under $200.00. When making your choices, be sure to measure the space for scale to ensure you’re not purchasing a candle holder that is too small or out of proportion with the other pieces of wall art you have hanging.
