Metal Wall Candle Holder
Candles are key to making your personal space feel homey and relaxing. That said, the last thing you’d want to do is deal with wax spills all over your furniture or worse, start a fire. This is where metal wall candle holders come into play. For one, they provide a sturdy (not to mention, safe) base for your candles. And because they’re mounted on the wall, they save table space and double as wall decor at the same time.

It’s all about sophistication and attention to detail for this set of candle holders. The iron frame catches the eye with its showy scrollwork and diamond-like patterns, all the while sporting a black finish to match all kinds of color schemes.
Designer Advice:
With its classic appearance, this set is the perfect fit for traditional interiors. It suits votive and small pillar candles perfectly, although it doesn’t include a spike to keep the candle secure. It’s also pretty simple to hang up, but comes with no hardware so you'll have to supply your own nails or screws. Other than that, it looks nice with any color candle, be it white, blue, or even green.

Full of rustic charm, this lantern wall sconce showcases a quaint lantern body, a curved arm, and a solid back that’s super easy to hang. It is purposely rusted for an aged look and comes with a glass insert to protect the candle flame from breezes.
Designer Advice:
Even though wooden candle holders are great for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, there’s nothing quite like metal wall candle holders when it comes to safety, durability, and character. For instance, all metals are heat-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about fire hazards. The main downside, though, is that they often rust over time, which could be a major nuisance unless you’re going for a vintage feel.

When choosing a metal wall art candle holder for your living room or as a focal point in a master bedroom or entryway, it's essential that you consider the scale of the piece as well as its materials. These wall sconces are a beautiful addition to dining rooms and outdoor spaces, as well. They're typically made from iron, brass, or recycled materials with a broad range of finishes. In this guide, we're going to narrow down your focus to help you pick the best metal wall art candle holder for your space.
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.
