A tall wooden candle holder is an attractive addition to any room. The right wooden candle holder can complement and accentuate a room's theme. Plus, it also provides a vital function of holding your candles.

Keep in mind that there are endless varieties of tall wooden candle holders and you're likely to choose the wrong one if you don't know what to look for. To help you increase your chances of finding the "perfect" one for you, here are a couple of things that you need to consider.

What types of candles go with tall wooden candle holders?

Each candle holder is designed to hold a certain kind of candle. There’s no candle holder that can appropriately hold all types of candles. However, the most common types of candles that are often paired with a tall, wooden candle holder are votive, taper, and pillar candles.

Before you buy a tall wooden candle holder, make sure that it matches the candle you are planning on using.

What types of wood are used in making candle holders?

The wood types used in producing candle holders vary greatly. To make things simpler, you can classify the different wood types into fabricated and solid wood. Each has its own pros and cons.

Fabricated wood includes fiberboard, chipboard, and plywood. These types of wood are "manufactured" in a sense that they are typically made from smaller pieces of wood and fabricated to appear as if they're solid wood. The most significant advantage of fabricated wood is its affordability. On the downside, don't expect it to be very durable or luxurious.
As the name suggests, a solid wood is not made of smaller pieces glued together. Hence, solid wood is much more durable than fabricated wood. It also looks more beautiful and elegant. Keep in mind that solid wood comes in many varieties, but the common ones used for candleholders are pine and mango wood. The most significant disadvantage of solid wood is it's typically expensive.

How are wooden candle holders finished?

Since you are buying a candle holder made from wood, you also need to consider the finish. There are basically two types of wood finishes, and they’re penetrating and coating. Each category is designed for a specific goal. Penetrating finish includes waxes and oils. This kind of finish penetrates through the small pores in the wood. Lacquer and varnish are typical examples of a coating finish. It's an excellent choice if your primary goal is longevity. There are plenty of other factors to look for when shopping for a tall wooden candle holder. The key points mentioned above are some of the most important ones. Remember what you’ve learned and it’ll be easier for you to shop.

Does a candle holder need to match room design?

In interior design, the common styles are mid-century modern, industrial, nautical, Scandinavian, bohemian, farmhouse, urban modern, and shabby chic. Before buying a piece, make sure that the design or style of the tall wooden candle holder can match the interior design of your room. Otherwise, you could end up with a candle holder that looks awkwardly out of place.
